India face hosts Australia in the first league match of the Four Nations Tournament in Melbourne on November 23. The tournament also features Malaysia and New Zealand.The Indian men, who will have Dutchman Roger van Gent accompany them as strategic coach, will also feature in a two-Test series against Australia, with the matches held in Bendigo on November 29 and November 30.Former national team captain and coach Vasudevan Baskaran says this tour will serve as a good learning experience for both teams.A tour of Australia is always tough, just like it is for our cricketers. You have to adjust to the climate, the speed of the ball and the fitness levels of your opponents, Baskaran told ESPN. They must take this tour as a good experience, and enjoy their game. They will play six games within a week, and they have had a good year already, said Baskaran, adding that the Indian team, currently ranked sixth in the world, must now start aiming to be among the top three.Baskaran also felt the Indian team had done well to recover from a disappointing quarter-final finish at the 2016 Olympics to win the Asian Champions Trophy, and this would have done their confidence a world of good in a year when they lost the Champions Trophy final via shootout to Australia. If you dont finish on the podium, then that confidence doesnt come. In that sense, they didnt capitalise on the Champions Trophy finish in Rio, and Argentina, who werent as good as India in the preliminary stages, went on to win the gold, he said.The Indian team headed to Australia will not have PR Sreejesh in goal, and defender V Raghunath will step in as captain.Like Sree, Raghu as captain must push and stop the boys when needed, said Baskaran. Like the goalkeeper, the defender also has a full view of the pitch and must observe all that is going on around him. With four quarters of hockey, he will have more opportunities to communicate between quarters about what needs to be done.This team will also feature a much younger forward line, with Affan Yousuf, Satbir Singh and Amir Khan all aged between 21 and 23, and Satbir the only one among them with more than 30 caps. Amir is a natural player and has very strong basics -- trapping and passing, reach, scoring -- and he is as good as any of the forwards who are playing for India regularly, said Baskaran. India doesnt get to play teams like New Zealand and Australia regularly, and he must be given more chances to stay on the pitch for longer against them.Womens team also begins campaignThe womens team will play the first of three Test matches against the hosts in Melbourne on November 23.Baskaran commended the Indian women for winning the Asian Champions Trophy, but highlighted the need for them to improve on physical fitness going into their three Tests against Australia. They must make sure they play better in the last 10 minutes. Overall, this is a chance to imbibe some great learning for them, said Baskaran. They did very well to qualify for the Olympics, and then to have beaten China during the Asian Champions Trophy was a massive boost to their confidence.Womens head coach Neil Hawgood will be with the team for the final time on this tour. His replacement is yet to be announced by Hockey India. Tampa Bay Rays Gear .

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. The Carlton crowd told a different story but Blues coach Brendon Bolton fell short of guaranteeing Jack Silvagni another AFL match after a spirited debut.Silvagni, 18, was the youngest player on the field in Saturday nights 12-point loss to Collingwood but wasnt fazed by the occasion.He leapt into action with a mark and pass to set up Jed Lamb for the first goal of the match.It was a steadying moment for the baby-faced forward, who carried a weight of expectation into the game.Jack ensured the Silvagni name represented Carlton on the field for seven straight decades with his debut, following on from premiership-winning grandfather Sergio and fullback-of-the-century father Stephen.The crowd sensed whenever the teenage forward neared the ball in his long-sleeved guernsey as often favoured by his dad.They roared whenever he touched it.Two snaps for goal bounced into the arms of Collingwood defenders, meaning he would finish the night without a first major.But that waasnt entirely Collingwoods fault.dddddddddddd.Late in the final quarter, Silvagni showed his selflessness with a squaring pass after marking in the forward pocket, denying himself a chance to break the duck to give Bryce Gibbs an improved angle.Bolton was torn between praising Silvagnis 15-possession game and keeping a lid on it.Its step one in hopefully a really long career, he said.His workrate was solid. Hes running hard out the back, leading up to the ball carrier.In terms of a third generation at our club, its something to be excited about. I hope our members are excited about, but we still need to keep it really in perspective.To that end, Bolton wasnt about to pencil in Silvagni for next Sundays meeting with Adelaide.Were pleased with his first game ... but I like to really dissect and have a look on every part of that, he said.
