Sri Lanka Crickets newly appointed womens team head coach Hemantha Devapriya is confident that the team will improve despite suffering their second successive series whitewash in the recently-concluded series against England.England are one of the leading sides in the top bracket in womens cricket. Although we lost to a strong side, the girls gave 100% and I can see some improvement, he said. The series was a good benchmark for me to gauge what standard we have to reach. We need to give them confidence, they need to learn to handle pressure situations.We have to improve in all three areas: batting, bowling and fielding and areas like game awareness, thinking ahead of the game, planning can be done but implementing it under pressure has to improve, handling situations and fitness levels. We have to increase all three areas at least by 10% so by a years time it will double. We have to be patient, smart thinking has to come they are not very smart thinkers. There are so many areas we have to improve.Among the areas Devapriya stressed upon was the improved batting. Sri Lanka made totals of 168, 173 and 161 in the first three ODIs against England, unlike in the series against Australia where they passed 150 only once in four matches.This is the first time they have reached totals of 150 plus consistently in a series and in the last match I made a point to give others a chance after talking to the selectors to see how good they are, he said. We have very far to go but one positive thing is the girls are willing and the passion is there. They are eager to learn. I am quite sure in six months they will be on another different level. The results will come gradually.Devapriya had little time to work with the team, considering he was appointed just a few weeks prior to the series. He felt the Asia Cup in Thailand later this month would give him a better idea of where the team stood at Asian level. Among the areas he believes theres bigger scope to improve is in their batting approach.I gave them a singles target, not fours and sixes, he said. The plan was to at least to run 75 to 100 singles, but they couldnt reach that mark. They were always somewhere around 50 singles and we have to avoid a lot of dot balls. In two matches we had more than 200 dot balls, they are very hesitant to leave the crease and come out.I am really working hard on their shots range as well, using their feet to spin and getting onto the back foot for pace. They are committed front foot players and I am developing their back swing. Their bat pick-ups are very poor and generating batting power is the core area.They do a lot of hard work in the gym for their stomach and body but they must learn the art of delivering the power. How much of work you do in the gym the art of delivering the power is something which they dont use.Well-rounded changes to batting technique apart, Devapriya felt translating gym fitness into being an agile fielding unit was equally important. We have to sharpen the fielding also, he said. I am trying to do their physical fitness coupled with fielding.The diving, sliding techniques are poor, sad to say that some girls have been playing for years but they dont know how to slide. The practice systems I have made a lot of changes where everybody gets a batting turn so that when they finish a days practice they will have undergone about 250 different shots.

The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period. Air Max 97 Factory Outlet . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. The soccer nets all over England have taken a beating through the years from players like David Beckham, bending shots into their fabric.Kicking nets all over the NFL have been abused by Odell Beckham Jr. -- hitting, kicking them and even proposing to one. David is an international soccer star who got his start in London, England. Odell Jr. hopes to bend it like his namesake as his team, the New York Giants, crosses the Atlantic to face the Los Angeles Rams, designated the home team.Hopefully, there is enough column space in the United Kingdom tabloids for both Beckhams and their antics.The Rams havent been back in Los Angeles all week but will still be playing a home game this Sunday against the Giants. The game will take place in London, England, and is one of the home games the Rams sacrificed in Los Angeles to expand their brand globally.This is the second of three NFL games that will be played in the United Kingdom in 2016, but the first time in Twickenham Stadium, home of the English rugby team.Both teams enter the matchup 3-3 but with different tastes in their mouths as they travel overseas. The Rams are coming off an embarrassing defensive performance against the Detroit Lions in their 31-28 loss. This once-vaunted defense gave up 10 straight fourth-quarter points after the surprisingly potent offense had spotted them a seven-point lead.The Giants head to England on Thursday riding high on the backs of one of the best offensive performances in 2016 by quarterback Eli Manning and Beckham Jr.Their offensive production led to a 27-23 come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens. In that game, Manning threw for 403 yards and three touchdowns. Beckham Jr. scored two of those touchdowns, including the -winning 66-yarder while pulling in 222 yards receiving, a career high.But his aforementioned antics have drawn the ire of coach Ben McAdoo.Beckham Jr. drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty after the winning touchdown grab when he ripped off his helmet in celebration.That penalty didnt end up hurting the Giants, but McAdoo chided his fiery receiver after Beckham compounded his behavior by staging a mock marriage proposal to the kicking net, tthe same one Beckham slammed two weeks before.ddddddddddddHe (Beckham) came up to me right after, we had a discussion. We cant have (penalties), McAdoo said. He knows that and he wanted to fire up our kick coverage team and defense. He knows we cant have it. We need to keep our focus on the ballgame.Manning, Beckham Jr. and the entire Giants offense will be going up against an up-and-down Rams defense that brought their own antics to the end of the game against the Lions.While the Lions were in victory formation, one in which the quarterback simply takes the snap and kneels down, the Rams defensive line fired off the football. This brought negative national attention to the team but had coach Jeff Fisher passing the buck after the game.This approach did not come from the sideline; it was not a call, it was not something that we practiced or that we preached, he said. I think it was a byproduct of frustration. If the games over, the games over, pay respect to your opponent.You guys (the media and fans) dont realize all the stuff that goes on inside, up front between the offensive linemen and the defensive linemen. Well address it and its unlikely that itll happen again.The Rams defense did not get any pressure on Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, and the secondary allowed wide receiver Golden Tate to gain 165 yards.The Los Angeles defensive front could be without Robert Quinn and Michael Brockers against the Giants. The secondary has injuries to cornerbacks Lamarcus Joyner and Trumaine Johnson.That could make for a long day matched up against the Giants high-powered offense.The Rams passing attack was incredible against the Lions, and quarterback Case Keenum had a career day. Keenum threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and at one point he completed 19 straight passes. Wide receiver Kenny Britt accounted for seven catches for 136 yards and both of Keenums scores.The Rams need to keep that formula going against a Giants passing defense that is ranked 22nd in the NFL and gives up an average of 266.8 yards per game.
