Cricket Australias experiment with a youth team in the Matador Cup will continue this summer, with the Cricket Australia XI confirmed as a seventh one-day team for 2016-17.The CA XI were included alongside the six states in the 2015-16 tournament and the squad was made up of young players who had missed out on selection in their respective state one-day squads.Although they suffered some extremely heavy losses and finished last on the Matador Cup table, they also provided one upset by beating Tasmania by three runs.CA XI squad members included Queensland legspinner Mitch Swepson, who has been chosen in the Australia A squad for a series of upcoming winter matches.We said initially that we were prepared to back this for a two-year trial and we are sticking to that for the second season as we felt that there were significantly positive results for Australian Cricket, CAs executive general manager of team performance, Pat Howard, said.With the postponement of the Test tour [to Bangladesh] last October, the CA XI came up against very strong state sides, which was wonderful for the competition but was also a tough introduction for the young group. It is important we continue to review the concept again this season, as there were many positives.Nike Zoom Günstig Kaufen .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. Nike Zoom Günstig .

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Former teammates, players and a former NBA assistant coach think the credibility a Hall of Fame career brings -- and familiarity with todays players -- will help Jason Kidd successfully transition into coaching. Kidd was named the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, less than two weeks after he ended a 19-year career as a point guard that included an NBA championship and two tours as a leader on the U.S. Olympic team. Hes also No. 2 in career assists and steals in NBA history. "Hes going to have incredible credibility with his players, which is huge," said Brendan Suhr, a longtime NBA assistant coach under Chuck Daly, Hubie Brown and Lenny Wilkens. Even the accountability as the man in charge wont be a problem, said Suhr, who is attending the National Basketball Players Associations Top 100 camp at the University of Virginia and teaching players how to start coaching careers. "Hell be fine. Hes handled accountability before," Suhr said, adding that one of Kidds main priorities needs to be hiring experienced assistants to "fill in the gaps that you dont have." Denver point guard Andre Miller said he was initially surprised when he heard Kidd was in the running for the Nets job so soon after announcing his retirement, but the more he thought about, the more sense it seemed to make. "When I first heard that they were considering it, I was like, Wow, thats respect," Miller said at the camp. "Hes a hall of famer in everybodys mind and hes accomplished everything that you can accomplish as a point guard, as a person, in life and as a teammate. When you have that type of respect of your peers, and of management, coaches, you know the skys the limit. "You know that he knows how to play basketball and he knows what it takes, so it surprised me at first, but what better player to make that transition right away to show, I can do this by the things that hes done in his career. Its good for the guys in that situation and learn from a guy like that." Millers Nuggets teammate Andre Igoudala tried that in a game against Kidds team. "What made you throw that pass?" Igoudala said he once asked Kidd during a game. He said he also picked Kidds brain with a few questions when he and Kidd were paneliists during a rookie transition program.dddddddddddd "Its not as crazy to me as people are making it," Igoudala said of the Nets hire. "Youre seeing how the game is changing ... teams are bring in GMs who havent played basketball. Analytical guys. Number crunchers. Thats kind of the trend. "Why not bring in a coach who just got done playing, especially a guy like Jason Kidd" who has helped teammates get better throughout his career, Igoudala said. "It wasnt just by his presence on the court but his presence every day, his presence off the court, in practice, making guys buy into something they werent used to buckling down and doing, so Im not surprised at all." That presence, former teammate Jerry Stackhouse said, will serve Kidd well, as will having spent time around younger players in the league. Stackhouse some of todays players get the superstar label via social media before they have truly earned their stripes and are "a little different" than emerging stars of the past. "Jason Kidds been in the locker room with the Michael Jordans, everybody to the Kyrie Irvings, so hes able to relate to them," said Stackhouse, who played with Kidd in Dallas and for the Nets this season. "I think hes going to do a good job. ... Its not like he took on a bad group." The Nets, who fired Avery Johnson during the season and then rallied to make the playoffs under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo, took the Chicago Bulls to Game 7 in the first round before being eliminated. Kidd may be green, Miller said, but his career prepared him for this next step. "Take a look at Mark Jackson," Miller said of the Golden State Warriors coach, and former NBA point guard for 17 seasons. "When you play that many years, youve got to deal with egos, attitudes. Youve got to deal with behaviours and to be able to know when to get a guy involved, to know when to pull a guy to the side, know when to be positive, know when to motivate, know when to criticize. All those things factor into being a leader and a coach, and I think Jason Kidd has that and I think Mark Jackson is a perfect example of how hes earned that respect from his peers, and his teammates and the players that play for him. "Thats really important." ' ' '
