Tournament overview Darren Sammy ended the press conference after the final saying that the young Bangladeshi players in Rajshahi Kings had learned aplenty from the senior local and overseas players. But the season was more than just a learning experience for this first-time franchise. They made the final in an inspired campaign after being bottom of the league at one stage.Sammy rallied the side like he often does for West Indies, inspiring young and old with the right mixture of poise and fun. The mock-selfie celebrations aside, Sammy was in a serious mood whenever there was a strategic break, giving out instructions.What would please Rajshahi most was how the senior players gave the team big performances, while youngsters like Mehedi Hasan and Afif Hossain played their part. Farhad Reza deserves a mention. A decade into his career, Farhad has fulfilled his promise with contributions in difficult situations.Rajshahi would be proud of giving their best in a tough campaign, but they would also rue the loss in the final, when the match was in their grip for a considerable period.High point At 43 for 7 against Rangpur Riders, Rajshahi may have thought their debut season wasnt all that it was supposed to be. But Reza and Mehedi dug deep during an unbroken 85-run stand for the eighth wicket that got them to 128. Their bowlers then bowled out Rangpur for 79.Low point Rajshahi had to win four games in a row to stay on course for the playoffs but lost their way when they were beaten by Comilla Victorians and Barisal Bulls. The second of those defeats nearly cost them a last-four finish. They couldnt chase 162, with Samit Patel the only batsman remaining in the fight with 62. Top of the class Samit Patel was Rajshahis best all-round performer, with 288 runs and 11 wickets. He was deadly against Dhaka in the league phase, and was Player of the Match on both occasions.Under-par performerUmar Akmal made only 106 runs in nine innings, often exasperating with his shot selection and at times unlucky with the umpiring. But he should have made more runs, which would have given Rajshahi stability in the middle order.Tip for 2017 Rajshahi would need a stronger top and middle order next season, especially a batsman who offers stability like Mahmudullah or Mohammad Mithun. Their bowling attack, leadership and management seem to be in place. Zack Britton 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. Reggie Jackson Jersey . Once again Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) and I (@LynchOnSports) go head to head in our picks. Last weekend at UFC Fight Night 32 my #TeamLynch got the best of #TeamJC by a score of 9-6.

A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. Chance Adams Yankees Jersey . Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday. Joe Girardi Jersey . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence.Did your team live up to expectations this weekend in their Premier League or FA Cup outing? Weve caught up with Sky Sports Now guest and former Arsenal and Leicester striker, Alan Smith, to grade each side based on their 90-minute performance over the weekend.So how did your team fare? Did they get an A or an F, or somewhere in between? Read on to see how each top-flight side has been ranked... Weekend results Premier League FA Cup Norwich 0-0 Man City Reading 1-2 C Palace B’mouth 3-2 Swansea Everton 2-0 Chelsea Stoke 1-2 So’ton Arsenal 1-2 Watford Aston Villa 0-2 Spurs Man Utd 1-1 West Ham Premier LeagueBournemouth - AIts three wins in a row now for the Cherries, so wonderful stuff from them. Manager Eddie Howe and his players are on 38 points now so theyre all-but safe. For a newly-promoted team to do what theyve done is great for the league.Southampton - ASouthampton were worthy winners against a Stoke side that have had a good season and are full of entertaining players. Saints should have had a penalty when Jack Butland brought down Dusan Tadic and they were unlucky to have Sadio Mane sent off. Graziano Pelle will have welcomed his goals and Shane Long looked good getting in behind the Stoke defence. Sadio Manes red card at the Britannia was harsh, according to Smith Tottenham - AExcellent. They had to absorb some pressure in the second half against Aston Villa at Villa Park, but the way Mauricio Pochettino approached the game was great. They bounced back from disappointing results against Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund in style. They were so quick and theyve clearly got the bit firmly between their teeth.Norwich - B+This was a good point for Norwich against a very good team, even though Manchester City arent firing on all cylinders. The clean sheet would have encouraged Canaries boss Alex Neil.Aston Villa - C+ Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur shoots past Alan Hutton of Aston Villa I dont want to kick a team while theyre down. It was men against boys in the first half and when Harry Kane scored Spurs could have had plenty more. Villa couldnt cope with Spurs pace and intensity but, to their credit, they kept going and should have found the net through Rudy Gestede and Joleon Lescott. Villa are virtually relegated so its not easy for them, so at least they didnt give up and showed a bit of heart.Swansea - C+Swansea pegged Bournemouth back twice at the Vitality and for that reason they deserve a C+. They didnt give up which is good for a side who arent completely out of the relegation mix - although I think theyll be fine. The managers health problems havent helped, and theyll be hoping for a couple of wins as soon as possible to take the doubt away.Stoke - C Graziano Pelle celebrates after opening the scoring You would have expected more from Stoke, particularly because they were playing at home.dddddddddddd Pelle struck twice in succession and, despite Marko Arnautovic pulling one back, Southampton were the better team. It wasnt Stokes day.Man City - DManchester City are lucky to get a D. For a team that still has an outside chance of winning the title there was no intensity, belief or urgency. It was almost as if theyd already given up on the title. They didnt cause many problems to Norwichs goal. Poor. City were poor at Carrow Road as their title charge faltered FA CupWatford - A+Watford have struggled to score recently but Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney were back to their best at the Emirates. They were brilliant and the result was a reflection of the fantastic season theyre having. Adlene Guediouras goal was wonderful and capped off a great day for the club.Everton - A Romelu Lukaku scored against his former Chelsea for the first time It was a very tight game at Goodison Park but they hung on and were better defensively where they havent been in recent games. Romelu Lukaku was on the scoresheet with a pair of stunning goals and, by all accounts, the ground was rocking. It was a fantastic win.West Ham - B+West Ham will be gutted they allowed Manchester United back into the game but theyll be confident in progressing at Upton Park. Dimitri Payets free-kick was nothing short of incredible, another stunning effort from a player vying for the Player of the Season award.Crystal Palace - B Yohan Cabayes late penalty sent Palace on their way to Wembley Palace will hope their FA Cup run can aid their Premier League form, as theyve been struggling of late. Theyre in the semi-finals and that will bring back memories for Alan Pardews playing days, thats for sure! Frazier Campbell scoring was a bonus too!Manchester United - BThis certainly wasnt Uniteds worst performance, they did quite well to come back from a goal behind. Theyve relied on Anthony Martial a lot this season and once again he delivered.Reading - B-Playing against Premier League opposition is not easy for Reading. They frustrated Crystal Palace for most of the match and couldnt quite hold out. The late red card was telling.Arsenal - C Holders Arsenal were dumped out of the FA Cup at home to Watford Arsenal werent a threat, they were flat and they conceded too many chances and openings to a Watford team that struggled to score in the build-up to the game. That was down to Arsenals shape. Theyve won the cup for the last two seasons so the fact theyre out of it isnt the big problem, it was the manner of the defeat.Chelsea - CThis was a big game for Chelsea. Diego Costas ugly side reared itself once again - the theatrics didnt help as they failed to score and he was sent off. Its turned out to be a crippling week for them following their Champions League exit and its going to be hard for Guus Hiddink to lift them for the rest of the season.Watch Sky Sports Now weekdays from 10am to 12pm, Sky Sports News HQ.
