James Vince, Rory Burns and Joe Denly feature prominently in England’s thoughts ahead of selection meeting

George Dobell12-Sep-2018

Trevor Bayliss has admitted Keaton Jennings faces a “nervous” wait to see whether he will be included in England’s squad for the tour of Sri Lanka.Jennings averaged just 18.11 in the five-Test series against India and, while Bayliss suggested his decent form on the tour to India a couple of years ago may count in his favour, he declined to confirm that it would be enough to ensure him another tour.With Alastair Cook having retired, England are searching for at least one new top-order batsman and Bayliss confirmed that James Vince, Joe Denly and Rory Burns are all vying for a spot in the squad. Whether Jennings is retained will decide whether England have one or two spots available for them.Ed Smith, the national selector, has previously expressed some confidence in Jennings despite the run of low scores. Pointing out that batting in the top order was treacherously tough during the India series, Smith noted Jennings’ impressive “demeanour” and method and appeared to offer his tour hopes some encouragement.In Jennings’ favour is the fact he made a century on Test debut in Mumbai in December 2016 and followed it with an innings of 54 in Chennai. England expect to encounter similar spinning pitches in Sri Lanka. Those scores are, however, his only half-centuries in a 12-Test career and, in going 10 Tests in succession without passing fifty, he has set a grim new record for an England opening batsman.”We have a selection meeting in a week’s time and I am sure it will be discussed,” Bayliss said. “I’m sure he will be a bit nervous about which way it will go. His history will be in his favour: he scored runs in India on spinning wickets.”But he is a big boy and he knows runs on the board count as well. All of those points will have to be discussed and I can’t say at this stage or another whether he will go or not.”If Jennings is not retained, it could mean a recall for Vince. Although he averages a modest 24.90 after 13 Tests, he averages 30.54 from the No. 3 position. As a result, Bayliss rated him England’s “best No. 3” excluding Joe Root over the last few years. And, having gone back to county cricket and scored heavily in recent months – Vince is the second highest run-scorer in Division One this season behind Burns and is averaging 42.66 – Bayliss said he “had done what we asked of him since he was out of the team”.”If you take Joe out of the equation, Vince has probably been our best No. 3 over the last few years,” Bayliss said. “I gave him the challenge when we dropped him to go back and score plenty of runs. Averaging 40 in county cricket is not good enough. You have got to average 50 or 60 and, take out this last game, he was close to that and made some big hundreds so he has done what we asked of him. Whether he makes the cut or not we will find out in a week.”While Bayliss admitted he had not seen much of Denly, he has had good reports from the team of scouts the England management now employ and confirmed he was being considered for a place in the squad.”I have not seen him in the last couple of years,” Bayliss said. “He has made some runs this year and apparently he is a decent player of spin. He can play the short ball but so can a few others. Vince for example. And obviously Burns is making a lot of runs at The Oval.”I am sure all three guys will get a hearing and there might be more than one spot in the touring party.”Burns is, by a distance, the leading run-scorer in the Championship season. He is approaching the 1,200 run mark – nobody else has made 1,000 – and, while there is a suggestion he has made most of his runs on the flat Oval surfaces, three of his four centuries have come at New Road, Nottingham and Southampton. He also made 90 in Chelmsford and, at the time of writing, averages 95 away from home this season.England expect to announce the limited-overs squad on Monday or Tuesday and the Test squad on the 23rd or 24th. Bayliss returns to Sydney for a brief holiday on Thursday, so will take part in the selection meeting via conference call.

To the uninitiated, the Silent Night basketball game at Taylor University might look like quite the lackluster viewing experience for a while—or, at the very least, a confusing one. But to Taylor fans and students, it's a unique, costume-laden celebration, one better known for its restraint rather than its volume. Here's everything you need to know about this time-honored tradition, including background, date, and how you can watch this year's game.

What is the Silent Night Game?

Silent Night is a pre-Christmas Taylor University tradition harkening back to the late 1990s. Rather than cheer the entirety of the basketball game, Taylor students and spectators stay quiet until the team scores its 10th point. Afterward, students storm the court, releasing the yells and screams they'd been holding inside. It's a chance for kids to blow off some steam before the end of the year, plus a chance to enjoy some of the fanfare you'd expect from a much larger basketball program.

"It's very much a bucket list opportunity for folks. It's special to be a part of and we are so grateful to be centerstage with the community," head coach Josh Andrews told CBS Sports Inside College Basketball in 2023. "For NAIA basketball to have this level of fan support and attendance, it's absolutely a privilege."

When is the 2024 Silent Night Game at Taylor University?

In keeping with its holiday ties, the Silent Night game is held in the Odle Arena at the same time every year: the Friday before fall finals week. This year, that's Friday, Dec. 6th at 6 p.m. ET.

Taylor University students, faculty, and staff have first dibs on tickets; after that, the public will have a chance to buy. As of this writing, the general on-sale will begin Nov. 26 and continue until all tickets are gone.

Why Keep Quiet? Explaining the Silence

The silence harkens back to the original "10th-point celebration," the first of which occurred in 1997. But it also memorializes the calm of the Christmas carol "Silent Night," a delicate and religious ditty describing the quiet of Jesus's birth.

"It’s a little bit [of a play on] ‘no one talks for the first ten points,’” Athletic Director Kyle Gould told CBS Sports Inside College Basketball in 2023, “combined with singing ‘Silent Night,’ which, you know, we here [at Taylor] believe that is the reason for Christmas.”

Although they can cheer before the game (and often do), the crowd immediately falls silent following tip-off. Rather than screaming or clapping following a big play, students wiggle their fingers to show support. And as the score ticks up, so does the anticipation; around the eighth or ninth point, students stand in preparation for the silence-shattering bucket. "Once you get to seventh, eighth, ninth point, you can just see the crowd getting ready," guard Kaden Fuhrmann told CBS. "You can feel it."

The Celebration: After 10

Once the 10th point hits, so does the chaos. Students erupt into cheers, descending upon the court like a tidal wave. Taylor then immediately calls a time-out to avoid a technical foul.

After that, it's pretty much business as usual, only the students—dressed up, decked out, and full of school spirit—are now free to yell and scream as much as they'd like.

Group Costumes and Student Involvement

Adding to the juxtaposition of the crowded but silent gym are students' elaborate costumes and outfits, usually executed in a group fashion and with no less than 110% enthusiasm: previous Silent Night recap videos reveal students dressed as a barrel of monkeys, Batman and the Joker, Where's Waldo, and more.

Snagging a spot in the arena is just as contentious. Although tickets are available to students game day, the seats themselves are first-come, first-served. If you want a spot along the sidelines, you better be at the doors early. Some students even camp out outside to improve their chances. "We're in the middle of nowhere, Indiana," student David Muselman told local channel WTHR 13NEWS in 2018, "and people sleep out here."

Breaking Out in Song

As the final tradition of the evening, students link arms and sing "Silent Night" as the play clock winds down—an homage to the university's evangelical roots, and a stark departure from the game's earlier rowdiness.

It's the perfect ending to a crazy game, and a soothing-but-energizing springboard to launch into both finals and holiday break.

How to Watch the Silent Night Game

All this talk about Silent Night got you itching to watch? Luckily, you have an option outside of traveling to Indiana yourself: The 2024 game will be streamed live on YouTube, according to the Taylor University website.

To stream, visit taylortrojans.com/Silent_Night on Dec. 6 and press "watch live."

Jazz Chisholm isn't backing down from his bold statement after Game 2 of the ALDS, but he is clarifying it.

After the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees on Monday night, Chisholm claimed the Royals "got lucky" and said the Yankees would win the series.

"It still feels the same, that we're gonna win it, you know?" Chisolm said. "I don't feel like anybody feels any different, you know? We're gonna go out there and do our thing still. We still don't feel like any team is better than us. Like you said, we had a lot of missed opportunities tonight. So, they just got lucky."

On Tuesday he followed those comments up, not by downplaying them, but by clarifying his intent.

Chisholm took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted, "If you don't believe you gonna win it you won't ! So you better speak this shii into existence and believe! #LFG"

Again, not a backtrack, but that attitude feels different than his comments from Monday night.

The Royals and Yankees face off in Game 3 of the ALDS in Kansas City at 7:08 p.m. ET.

Madrid rejected Ancelotti's request repeatedlyItalian set to leave the club in the summerTipped to become next Brazil bossFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Real Madrid saw their 2024-25 campaign go from bad to worse last weekend as they went down 3-2 in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Following their exit from the Champions League quarter-final, losing 5-1 on aggregate to Arsenal, Los Blancos hoped to salvage some pride by winning the cup, but it was Hansi Flick's men who emerged triumphant in the end.

Reports have already emerged that the Spanish giants will part ways with Ancelotti at the end of the current campaign, amid links with Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso. Now, journalist Jorge Picon (via ) has claimed that Madrid management reportedly did not fulfil a crucial request from the Italian throughout the ongoing season. The ex-AC Milan boss reportedly wanted to expand his technical staff, but his plea was constantly rejected. Los Blancos had just two analysts on their bench with their laptops during Saturday's final. In contrast, Flick was surrounded by multiple coaching staff and analysts with four computers and a camera.

DID YOU KNOW?

The five-time Champions League-winning coach is expected to explore international football for the first in his three-decade-long managerial career as he is tipped to become the next Brazil boss.

The reigning Spanish champions will be back in action in La Liga next Sunday as they take on Celta Vigo at home.

The new Impact Player rule at IPL 2023 could well mean curtains for “bits and pieces allrounders”. This is the view of Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting, who spoke of the several possibilities this could open up in terms of team combination and strategy. As things stand, the Impact Player can only be an Indian unless there are fewer than four overseas players in the starting XI.Related

• How much impact will the Impact Player rule have?

• Ponting expects 'the real Prithvi Shaw' to make an appearance in IPL 2023

• 'My best can match it with anyone' – Mitchell Marsh

• David Warner to lead Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023

• Pant: I've found happiness in even being able to brush my teeth

“It [usage of Impact Player] depends if you bat or bowl first,” Ponting said at an event in New Delhi. “So at the toss, we will be putting in a bowling-first team and a batting-first team. And obviously if you bat first, you’re probably going to sub in a batter. Or if you bat first and lose an early wicket, you might want to bring in a batter straight on top of that. So there are a number of different ways to use it.”It actually almost negates the role of allrounders in the game now. So unless they’re absolutely world-class and they’re getting picked either as a batsman or as a bowler, not sort of a bits and pieces guy, then I don’t think you’ll see many, many teams this year actually use the guy that might bat at seven and maybe bowling over or two. Because you don’t need those guys anymore.”The one allrounder who Capitals will definitely be keeping an eye out for, though, is Mitchell Marsh. He has just finished an ODI series in India, which Australia won 2-1, where he played as a specialist batter due to his ongoing recovery from a keyhole surgery on his left ankle. Come the IPL, he is expected to ease himself back to full tilt.Marsh had a decent IPL 2022 at the top of the order, scoring 251 runs in eight games at a strike rate of 132.80. He only bowled sporadically, though; his 12 overs fetching four wickets at an economy of 8.50. Ponting is confident Marsh will have a bigger role to play this season.1:27

Ponting: No Pant leaves big hole, still undecided on wicketkeeper

“He’s had three or four months off in Australia; he’s recovered from an ankle surgery that he had, I think back in November,” Ponting said. “He hasn’t bowled in the games yet, but he’s been bowling for the last five or six weeks. So by the time he gets here with us, his role in our team will be to bowl some overs as well. He knows that and understands that.”And I think we saw in this one-day series [against India] how destructive he can be [at the top of the order]. But we also saw on a couple of occasions last year for DC [Delhi Capitals] at the No. 3 slot he played some match-winning roles there as well. So he’s a really important player for us. World-class international allrounders are not easy to come across and not easy to find. So are hoping that he has his best IPL season till date as well.”The biggest concern at the moment for Capitals is filling in the void left by Rishabh Pant, who continues to recover from injuries sustained in a serious car crash in December last year. David Warner has been named as stand-in captain for the season, but the team management is yet to decide on who will be taking the wicketkeeping gloves.They have just one frontline option at the moment in England’s Phil Salt, but are readying a couple of makeshift options in India’s Manish Pandey and Sarfaraz Khan. Both players are being put through the paces, should the need arise.In addition, they have also called up four uncapped Indian wicketkeepers – Luvnith Sisodia, Sheldon Jackson, Abishek Porel and Vivek Singh – to their training camp. It’s likely one of them will be signed as a replacement shortly. All said, Ponting believes it will take multiple players to fill the hole Pant has left behind.”So when we are talking about losing some power in middle-order, Aman Khan, Rovman Powell and someone like Axar Patel, whose batting has improved a lot in last 12 months, we will find ways to cover for Rishabh, but we will not get same quality player,” Ponting said. “Aman Khan is one that has really impressed us and we traded Shardul (Thakur) with KKR [Kolkata Knight Riders] to get him in and he has been ultra-impressive and I don’t know how much you have seen of him and his last couple of days at training has been pretty special.”

Champions bowled out for their lowest T20 total of 74 as Ben Green, Matt Henry, Lewis Gregory chime in

ECB Reporters Network24-May-2023

Revenge was sweet for Somerset as seamers Craig Overton and Matt Henry led them to a crushing eight-wicket Vitality Blast victory over reigning champions Hampshire Hawks at sun-drenched Taunton.Beaten in last season’s semi-finals by the same opponents, the hosts dominated from the start after winning the toss, Overton claiming 3 for 8 from four overs and Henry 2 for 19 from three to leave the Hawks 27 for 5.The Blast title holders never recovered and were bowled out for 74, their lowest ever T20 total, in 16.1 overs, Ben Green taking 3 for 11 and Lewis Gregory 2 for 13, while Overton added four catches to his heroics with the ball.It was a ruthless display by the Somerset seamers, backed by some razor-sharp fielding. In reply, the hosts breezed to 74 for 2 off just 9.3 overs, Tom Banton smiting 40 off 24 balls.Overton and Henry appeared to be trying to outshine each other when the Hawks innings began in front of a packed crowd, both maintaining excellent line and length.Sam McDermott fell to the last ball of Overton’s opening over, caught two-handed to his left by Tom Kohler-Cadmore at slip.It was 9 for 2 when Henry struck with his first delivery, bowling James Vince between bat and pad with a ball that nipped back. The New Zealand Test bowler then had Joe Weatherly caught at mid-on by Overton off a skyer to make it 12 for 3 in the fourth over.By the end of the six-over powerplay, the Hawks were in disarray at 26 for 3. Their plight worsened when Overton had Tom Priest caught behind attempting to pull a short ball.Overton notched his third victim in the same over as Toby Albert was also snaffled by wicketkeeper Banton, going hard at a wide delivery.Albert had scooped a six off Henry, but it was a rare moment of defiance from the Hawks as Overton produced 17 dot balls in bowling his allotted four overs straight through from the River End.Rightly impressed by his opening attack, Somerset skipper Tom Abell did not make a change until the eighth over, which saw Peter Siddle replace Henry.Ross Whiteley hit fours off successive balls from Gregory and Liam Dawson pulled a a six off Green as Hampshire briefly threatened a recovery.But, having helped take the score to 57, Dawson fell to another Overton catch, this time at fine leg off a scoop, and Scott Currie went in the same Gregory over, the 12th of the innings, bowled off a bottom edged pull shot.Whiteley had reached his side’s top score of 18 when caught by Kohler-Cadmore, diving forward at long-off, having made decent contact with a Green full toss.At 61 for 8, the Hawks were down and out. Chris Wood was pouched by the diving Overton at mid-off off Green, who completed the rout by having Nathan Ellis, who had taken 13 off Henry’s final over, caught at long-on by the same fielder.Somerset’s big-hitting batting line-up were never likely to be troubled chasing such a paltry total and Banton soon signalled his intentions to end the match early by clearing the ropes with a ramp shot off Wood in the third over.A scoop off Ellis brought the England T20 international another boundary, followed next ball by a clip through the leg side for four. Will Smeed was caught at short third man for 5 in the same over, but by the end of their power play, Somerset were comfortable at 37 for 1.Banton launched another six over mid-wicket off Dawson before being stumped in the same over chasing a wide one. Kohler-Cadmore (18 not out) got off the mark by smashing the spinner over wide long-on for a maximum and by then the outcome had long been beyond doubt.

NZ folded for 108 in under 35 overs in the second ODI before Rohit led the chase with a 50-ball 51

Jaffer: Shami unlucky in previous games, deserved his wickets today

After a thrilling last-over finish in Hyderabad, India romped to an eight-wicket victory in Raipur on the back of an inspired performance from their quick bowlers to take the series 2-0 with one match to go. India’s domination started with a display of swing and seam with great accuracy to bowl New Zealand out for 108 in under 35 overs in an international debut for the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. Two sharp return catches also helped matters.India chased it down in 20.1 overs after a 51 off 50 from captain Rohit Sharma, who struck seven fours and two sixes before Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan saw the hosts through. It was India’s seventh consecutive bilateral ODI series win at home.Stifling Test-match style bowling from Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj caused the early damage, after India won the toss, to reduce New Zealand to 9 for 3. Hardik Pandya bowled three maidens and picked up 2 for 16 from six overs as New Zealand slipped to 15 for 5, with their top five falling in single digits, after 10.3 overs. Glenn Phillips stretched the score past 100 with the help of Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner, but 108 was a total too low to trouble a team that had scored 349 and 390 in their last two games.Replay – Ind vs NZ, 2nd men’s ODI

You can watch the replay of the second ODI between India and New Zealand on ESPN Player in the UK and on ESPN+ in the USA.

Shami was the first to strike when he followed a few outswingers with one that came in and bowled Finn Allen for a duck in the first over. His swing and Siraj’s wobble seam tied up the top order, and Siraj had Henry Nicholls edging one to first slip in the sixth over.Four balls after Nicholls’ fall, Shami grabbed a sharp return catch with his left hand off Daryl Mitchell to finish his first spell with 4-1-5-2 while Siraj’s read 4-1-4-1. Shardul Thakur and Hardik also got breakthroughs soon after being brought on and kept the pressure on the visitors.1:17

Irfan: Siraj has become Rohit’s go-to bowler in ODIs

Devon Conway eased some nerves by registering the first boundary of the innings in the ninth over but Hardik sent him back with another one-handed return catch in the following over. Thakur also struck when Tom Latham, who had left nearly half of his first 16 balls, chased a wide delivery and handed Gill his second catch at first slip.Fifteen was the lowest score at which India have picked up five wickets in a men’s ODI and it was also New Zealand’s lowest score at five down.Phillips, Bracewell and Santner all bothered India but only briefly. Phillips started with back-to-back fours off Hardik – including a top-edge over the wicketkeeper – before Bracewell dispatched consecutive low full-tosses for fours off Shami in the 19th over. Shami immediately changed from around to over the wicket and banged in a bouncer that ended the stand of 41 when Bracewell nicked behind for 22.From 56 for 6, Phillips and Santner put on a patient stand of 47, thanks to two lives Santner got off Kuldeep Yadav. The first came when Rohit couldn’t hold on to a tough chance while diving to his right at midwicket, and Kuldeep later put down an easier return chance despite getting both hands to the ball over his head.Phillips scored at a good clip during his 36 with boundaries whenever he got loose deliveries from Thakur. Santner, too, chipped in with two fours off Kuldeep after the halfway mark of the innings, but he fell just after New Zealand crossed 100.Hardik started the 31st over with a 112.8 kph slower ball which Santner chopped on off the inside edge, and New Zealand collapsed again. Two long-hops from Washington Sundar saw Phillips and Lockie Ferguson hole out to deep midwicket, and Kuldeep trapped Blair Tickner in front in his eighth over to wrap up the innings.In the chase, Rohit and Gill started patiently as the new ball swung around. Soon though, Rohit turned aggressor, starting with a pull in the second over off Henry Shipley before also pulling Ferguson for six in the fifth over. Whenever the scoring would quieten for India, Rohit would either unleash another pull or manufacture room to dispatch the ball on the off side, including a stunning six over the covers off Tickner. Rohit also used the cut with perfect timing to collect boundaries as Gill waited more patiently for the loose balls to pick boundaries. Rohit also swept and reverse swept Santner to reach a 47-ball fifty but was trapped lbw when a Shipley delivery stayed low in front of off stump.Kohli was stumped off Santner for 11 after he struck Shipley for two fours and Kishan and Gill wrapped up the win by smashing three fours in the space of 11 balls.
