tended postseason run should not qualify as any kind of surprise. ' ' '

Trent Boult and Tim Southee may be the spearheads of the attack, but on Saturday, it was Neil Wagner who first rattled Pakistan, and in so doing, beat his more illustrious team-mates to a milestone.Babar Azam and Azhar Ali had settled into a partnership, when Wagner began to direct balls at their ribs. One of those caught Azams gloves and sailed through to the wicketkeeper, and gave Wagner his 100th wicket in his 25th Test. Boult and Southee had both needed 29 matches to rack up triple figures.I dont think in my wildest dreams Id thought about getting 100 wickets, said Wagner. Im pretty pleased. Whichever way I can play a part for the team and deliver in a role, Im happy. Whichever way it goes I want to keep contributing.Wagner was the second-fastest New Zealand bowler to the milestone, behind Richard Hadlee, who had achieved the feat in 24 games. Im more than happy for Sir Richard Hadlee to keep that record, because hes an absolute legend, Wagner said. Im stoked to get to 100, but theres still a long way to go.The dismissal of Azam had in fact been the first of a bouncer double-strike, which also accounted for the wicket of Younis Khan. Wagner had a short ball leap at Younis throat early in his innings, and the batsman could do nothing more than attempt to fend it away. The ball collected the glove en route to the wicketkeeper.Thats just my job to do something different, Wagner said. We know how it works out here - today there was a bit of wind, and that stops the ball from swinging. When conditions start getting a little easier to bat on, Ive got to try and make something happen. It doesnt always happen, but luckily today was one of those days when it paid off. I think we had to work long periods of time to get that success, and we did.In between wickets New Zealand were relentlessly disciplined, with each of the quicks bowling a very high percentage of dot balls. Of the 66 overs bowled in Pakistans second innings, 25 were maidens - the visitors run rate a mere 1.95. A late flurry of wickets also meant Pakistan were left seven down, with a lead of only 62.I thought we bowled exceptionally well in partnerships, Wagner said. It was some quality fast bowling. We created pressure for long periods of time and got rewards for it towards the end.Boult had the innings best figures of 3 for 18 at stumps, though Southee had bowled the highest percentage of maidens, delivering 10 scoreless overs out of 19 in total. Wagner said the opening pair had set the tone.The way Tim and Trent opened the bowling - they are two of the best bowlers going around when they bowl like that. Theyre just absolute class. Seeing them go about the work they did and pressure they built - I think at the start they were going at one run an over - it just shows the class of those two bowlers.Miles Mikolas Cardinals Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament.

The Huskies beat the Bulls 3-1 and completed a pivotal conference sweep, on the heels of a 3-0 win days earlier against UCF. Ribeiro had an active role in that result, too, assisting on the first two goals and putting away the game by scoring the third goal.For producing three goals and three assists for the week, thereby strengthening Connecticuts place atop the American Athletic Conference and all but eliminating two quality rivals from contention, Ribeiro is espnWs national soccer player of the week.Not that the week represented something out of character for the 5-foot-7 senior. Not this season, at least. Ribeiro completed the past week in a three-way tie for the Division I lead with 15 goals and second in the nation with 11 assists. No other player is already in double digits in both categories, and she has a comfortable lead as the national leader in points.In her first three seasons on the field, a run interrupted by a season lostt to injury in 2014, Ribeiro totaled 16 goals and 15 assists.dddddddddddd But it was only last season, when she was named the Americans midfielder of the year, that she truly offered a hint of the point production that was to follow this fall.On the opening goal against South Florida, Ribeiro was left startlingly open in the box but still had to do the work of chesting down Rachel Hills pass and, in the same motion, sweeping it past the goalkeeper before any defenders could react. It was a goal-scorers finish. But she was no less the playmaker in returning the favor on a goal by Hill in that game. With the ball out wide on the left, Ribeiro picked out her target and put the cross on Hills head at the far post.In the win against UCF, she played in Hill with a deft pass from midfield and delivered a quality free kick that led to a goal, but she also beat the keeper one-on-one after a turnover.Make the play or finish the play, she does it all.Once a power in the womens game, producing All-Americans and College Cup appearances in droves, Connecticut has enjoyed only a few surges this century, most notably when the combined production of Kristin Graczyk and Jessica Gjertsen took the Huskies to the College Cup in 2003. What Ribeiro made clear to her dad and everyone else this past week was that with she and Hill, another extended postseason run should not qualify as any kind of surprise. ' ' '
