ERST LESEN! » t of his action. I record

The Seattle Sounders visit Toronto FC on Saturday night in a Major League Soccer game that both teams need desperately.Both teams are coming off midweek non-league success. Toronto FC won the Amway Canadian Championship over the Whitecaps at Vancouver on Wednesday on a spectacular goal in the dying seconds of stoppage time by Will Johnson, who injured his knee in the process.Seattle is coming off a penalty-shootout victory over Real Salt Lake on Tuesday that advanced the Sounders to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup.I thought our team showed a lot of competitive fight and spirit against Real Salt Lake, Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. We havent been able to put the ball in the back of the net even though we have created chances. When thats the case, sometimes you have to grind things out until they start to fall.MLS success has been more elusive for both teams.Toronto has won just two of its past eight MLS games (2-4-2) dating to May 1.Seattle has lost its past two and five of its past six league games (1-5-0).Toronto FC comes into the game at BMO Field on Saturday amidst mounting injury woes.Johnsons injury was diagnosed as a tibial plateau fracture, and he is expected to be out six weeks.Midfielder Michael Bradley also is expected to be out for about six weeks with a knee sprain sustained last Saturday while playing for the U.S. team in the third-place match at the Copa America against Colombia.Seattle forward Clint Dempsey, also returning from playing for the U.S. team in the Copa America, could be rested for the match in Toronto.TFC goalkeeper Clint Irwin also is sidelined for about six weeks with a quadriceps injury picked up last Saturday in a loss to Orlando City. Alex Bono is expected to be in goal for Toronto.Toronto will be playing its fifth game in 15 days against all competition.Were getting a lot of work out of the guys that maybe at the beginning of the year werent going to compete for minutes, coach Greg Vanney. And now theyre guys whom were relying on to win championships and to win games, and thats fantastic. It makes our group stronger, it makes our group deeper, and we learn a lot about the group -- it kind of brings the group together. Tom Kelly Twins Jersey .

Paul Molitor Twins Jersey . The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose. Lewis Thorpe Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Mahbub Ali Zaki was filled with pride as he watched Taskin Ahmed bowl in the third ODI against Afghanistan. He was comforted by how the fast bowler, playing his first international series since his bowling action was cleared by the ICC, was ticking through his check-list smoothly, and looked prepared for bigger battles in the coming weeks.I am really proud of him, Zaki says, four days after Taskin finished as the joint highest wicket-taker in the ODI series. I helped a guy who was facing a major threat in his international career come back to where he belongs, after correcting his suspect bowling action. He was delivering the bouncer and yorker at high speed.I think we didnt have to make too many changes to his action but certainly he looked like a refreshed bowler. I didnt see any speedgun in the Afghanistan series but Taskin later told me that he felt that he was bowling at his old speeds.The 50-year old Zaki is a former fast bowler who is now employed by the BCB as a specialist bowling coach. In April this year he was asked by Heath Streak, Bangladeshs bowling coach at the time, to record videos of Taskins action while Streak was away with the IPL side Gujarat Lions. After Streak quit the Bangladesh job, Taskins rehabilitation had to be monitored solely by Zaki.Here was Bangladeshs most promising fast bowler since Mashrafe Mortaza and Talha Jubair, and it was up to little-known Zaki to get him ready for his second independent assessment. Zaki now says he knew that Taskin was a special bowler who needed to be dealt with differently.I quickly understood that I was dealing with a young fast bowler, he says. If I took him as a general example among such bowlers then I would have to make lots of biomechanical changes to his action. Taskin the cricketer isnt the same without his pace and bounce, so we focused on keeping his pace while making those subtle adjustments to his action.To the naked eye, there is hardly any discernible change to how he runs in and bowls.The point where his action differs from most other fast bowlers is when he loads up, when he brings his arm up just as he lands on his back foot prior to his delivery stride. Here, his wrist points towards midwicket (to the right-hand batsman) rather than down the pitch.Now, this unusual positioning of his wrist is possibly even more pronounced, but the rest of his action remains more or less what it was earlier. Footage confirms that Taskins load-up remains consistent with how it was even as far back in 2012, when he bowled in the nets in front of Bangladesh coach Shane Jurgensen and Academy head Richard McInnes, or a few months later when he played his first BPL match, or even when he made his international debut two years later.Coaches love a consistent bowling action, especially if it works for the bowler. Taskin was certainly one of Jurgensens favourites, and he pushed for the fast bowlers debut during the 2014 World T20. After Jurgensen left the Bangladesh job, Taskins ODI debut produced a five-wicket haul and he didnt look back, performing well until the 2016 World T20 when he was reported for a suspect action after Bangladeshs first match.Since being reported in March, Taskin has unddergone two independent bowling-action assessments in Chennai and Brisbane, the latter clearing him to bowl again in international cricket.dddddddddddd The report obtained by ESPNcricinfo says that Taskin did not go past an average of five degrees, upon ball release, in an over at the Brisbane assessment. Out of the 24 deliveries he bowled, only four went up to seven degrees while some others touched six degrees.Arafat Sunny, who was reported and suspended at the same time as Taskin, also underwent a reassessment in Brisbane. His highest average for ball release in an over was 11 degrees, and the lowest was six degrees.If not among all current bowlers, Taskinss action is being regarded as technically one of the better bowling actions among bowlers who have been reported for suspect actions or suspended for illegal actions.To get to this point, where the straightening of his elbow is well within the prescribed 15-degree limit, Taskin required minor changes to be ironed into his action. Zaki says keeping his pace intact was the major challenge. To record what he was doing, he used eight different camera angles to ensure everything was captured and he had the necessary data.It was certainly one of the most challenging projects of my coaching career, Zaki says. I was trying to help a kid whose career was on the line. My initial target was to take him back to his old rhythm, which was to ensure that he bowls between 138 to 148kph. We couldnt afford to lose his pace.I recorded his action from eight angles in total and only after I was totally convinced from one of the angles did I move to the next one. The angles were the usual four TV camera angles and then I did some from 45 and 35 degrees. I also used a fire-service ladder to get an overhead shot of his action. I recorded him every week from mid-April to the end of August.Next, Zaki installed large mirrors to provide Taskin a personal perspective whenever he had some downtime at the Shere Bangla National Stadium or at home.Inside the dressing room where the coaches often sit, I set up a nine-foot mirror for Taskin, Zaki says. I did a similar thing in his home where I put up a 6x4 foot mirror so that he can try out his action in front of it. We tried the action thousands of times.The work put in by Taskin has certainly been praised by those who saw him from April to August, when he also helped Abahani Limited to their 18th Dhaka Premier League title. But Zakis efforts shouldnt go unnoticed.Zaki replicated what Mohammad Salahuddin did with Abdur Razzak when he was suspended from December 1, 2008 to March 12, 2009. Salahuddin is regarded as one of the most technically sound coaches in Bangladesh. Now, given Zakis success with Taskin, the BCB should use him regularly to spot defects in the actions of a number of bowlers in domestic cricket.My eyes have become experienced now with Taskins action, Zaki says. When he bowled towards the end of the third ODI against Afghanistan, I felt that he was at his best. His action didnt have any chinks whatsoever. It was a very fair action. ' ' '
