Mitchell Starc may finally be about to become the dominant Test match bowler he has occasionally threatened to be, having passed 100 wickets amid the fine returns of 5 for 44 on the opening day against Sri Lanka in Galle. Having made his debut in December 2011, only five Tests after Nathan Lyon, Starc is more than halfway to the spinners tally of wickets, having played fewer than half the number of matches.For a long time Starc was a bowler who never played more than one Test in succession - following his first two appearances against New Zealand, he dropped out of the Test XI no fewer than 13 times for reasons of form, team balance, fitness or informed player management. Now 26 and free of the ankle spurs that afflicted him for much of that time, Starc is now ready to turn the glimpses he showed in playing 11 consecutive Tests in 2015.Physically I think the six-month break I had with my foot and my ankle was really good for me to get some really good time in the gym and build up that strength that I lost probably through the Ashes series and the one-day series there, he said. Ive been really happy with where my bodys at physically leading into the triangular series in the West Indies and this Test series.Im starting to get that consistency back in Test cricket anyway. The first Test here definitely wasnt the best Ive bowled, but started to get a bit of rhythm back through there, so I was pretty happy with how they came out today. Josh [Hazlewood] and I really enjoyed bowling with each other in partnerships. He hits a spot and is a genius at doing that, and allowing me to bowl as fast and aggressive as I can from the other end. We work really well together there, so its nice to be back and hopefully be around for a lot longer than I have in the past.The display at Galle may have started with the good fortune of a leg-stump half-volley flicked fortuitously to Joe Burns forward of square leg, but otherwise Starc posed a constant threat, offering bounce with the new ball and then sharp reverse swing with the old - movement that Hazlewood was able to extract as early as the 22nd over. He was able to prosper, too, without conjuring much in the way of conventional swing with the new ball: a method he has leaned on at times in the past.Sometimes it just doesnt swing as much for some guys, Starc said. For me it didnt swing too much in the first Test but did enough to create a few chances. Today was finding a different way to take wickets and get the ball reversing. Therell be days where it swings a lot more and other days where it doesnt, but Joshy bowled pretty well with the swinging ball early and then with the reversing ball.Josh started getting a bit of reverse, so we talked about if we could hit that rough side a little bit more we might get more reverse and obviously it did. Josh bowled really well, I was lucky to get a bit of movement, and Mitchy Marsh bowled pretty well with the reversing ball as well, so I think we did that a lot better this game, and looked after the rough side of the ball better than the first Test.One reason Starc was all to utilise reverse movement was the fact he now possesses greater control of an away swinger to the right hander from over the wicket. In times gone by, he has mainly concentrated on using it from around the wicket, angle in then swing away. However, his work with Allan Donald on this tour has featured more use of the angle from over the stumps, and both bowler and interim coach were very satisfied to see Kusal Mendis fall to one such delivery. After this series, David Saker will take over as Starcs mentor on a three-year deal, heralding a period of continuity that he hopes will be mirrored by his bowling and body.With AD Ive been working pretty much on that delivery that got Mendis out with that reversing ball, Starc said. Pretty pleased thats come off and something Ive worked on with him since being in Colombo and obviously the last couple of weeks as well. ADs been great, weve all got a lot out of him so far and hopefully that continues for the rest of this Test and the third as well.I havent worked with David before, Ive heard good things about his time in England and speaking to a few of the Victorians on the triangular series tour Ive only heard good things. So Im excited to work with him later on, but at the moment its working alongside Allan Donald to try to win this series. Weve always got great guys around us, whether it be Craig McDermott, Allan Donald here or David Saker coming up. To have a guy locked in for the next three years, having that one guy there to work with us is really good for a young group.Doug Williams Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night. John Riggins Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins.

"Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There is no longer a football team at San Francisco State, the Gators long ago having given up on the pricy sport in favor of investing in their other athletic programs.Andy Reid and Dirk Koetter will have to settle for Arrowhead Stadium for a reunion.The Chiefs coach and his Tampa Bay counterpart were both on Vic Rowens staff in 1985, trying to learn the ropes after their own playing days. They would reunite a couple years later at Texas-El Paso, and remained joined at the hip at Missouri, before their paths finally began to diverge.Reid headed for the NFL. Koetter stuck around the college game before making the leap.Hes one of the finest football coaches Ive ever been around. His dad might be the best, Reid said. We were little scrub buckets when we started off together, and we ended here, in Missouri, at the University of Missouri. I definitely saw him as a college coach and then, I figured if he got in the NFL, he would be the head coach there, too. Hes very, very good.Hell have to be at his best to figure out a way to outsmart Reid on Sunday.The Chiefs (7-2) have ripped off five straight wins to climb into a tie atop the AFC West, not to mention join the pursuit of the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Their defense has been downright dominant, their offense has done enough to get by, and the wins keep piling up.Andy is one of the best, if not the best coach, Ive ever been around, said Koetter, who seemed unsurprised by Reids success. His attention to detail, his ability to teach, the way he motivates guys -- it was a great blessing for me to be able to work with him like I did.Reids path after leaving Missouri took him to a successful run as an assistant in Green Bay, then his own 14-year run leading Philadelphia. But he seemed to be beaten down those last few years with the Eagles, and it took a move to Kansas City for him to feel rejuvenated.Koetter has had his share of bumps, too. He was a rising star after turning Boise State into a powerhouse, but fell into years of mediocrity leading Arizona State. Stints as offensive coordinator in Jacksonville, Atlanta and Tampa Bay earned him the Buccaneers top job.So far, Koetter also appears to be rejuvenated, too.He has Tampa Bay off to an encouraging 4-5 record after a dominant win over the Bears , and the franchise is now eyeing its first winning season since 2010.Im sure they think they can win the rest of theirr games, Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley said.ddddddddddddBut they cant do that without beating Kansas City. Here are some of the keys to the game:UNHEALTHY CHIEFS: Defensive tackle Jaye Howard has been dealing with a hip flexor, cornerback Marcus Peters with a hip pointer, linebacker Derrick Johnson with hamstring spasms, defensive tackle Dontari Poe with a sore knee, and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin with a groin strain.Its unclear whether any will be inactive Sunday.SPEAKING OF HEALTH: Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston could make his season debut against the Buccaneers. The four-time Pro Bowl selection had surgery to repair his left ACL in February, and was added to the roster last week, though he remained inactive for their game at Carolina.He was feeling pretty good last week, Reid said. Well just have to see.ON THE OTHER SIDE, TOO: Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin expects to carry more of the load this weekend. He returned from a hamstring injury that cost him nearly two months to run for 33 yards against the Bears, giving the Buccaneers a big emotional lift.Getting his confidence back, I think thats the No. 1 thing, Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. I think hell be able to build on that this week.SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE: Tampa Bays Jameis Winston and the Chiefs Alex Smith are both threats with their legs, though the Buccaneers do more with designed plays to get their quarterback into space.Hes good outside the pocket, Koetter said. He just has a real feel for that and is a guy that hes a got a rare quality where he will run with it, but hes always got his eyes down the field. A lot of times you find guys that dont want to run it and you find guys that dont want to throw it. Hes one of those guys that has a rare quality, he can do both.EYES ON PETERS: Quarterbacks have avoided Peters after he piled up five interceptions in the first five games. He hasnt had a pick in the past four, but a strip of Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin last week set up Kansas Citys winning field goal.Hes one of the best corners in the league. He has great eyes, Winston said. Hes able to cover his man and keep his eyes in the backfield. Hes one of the best Ive seen do it.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NBA Jere NFL coverage: [url]http://www.pro32
