Australia batsman Usman Khawaja has said transitioning to red-ball cricket after a long break from Tests will be his sides biggest challenge in their upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Australia last played a Test in February this year, against New Zealand.We havent played red-ball cricket for a while, Khawaja said. Weird seeing the red ball coming down the first time when it did [in an intra-squad practice game]. We were out in the field all day yesterday and you forget how tough being out on the field is. Going to have to do five days of it. Test matches is the hardest form, I reckon, mentally and physically. Going five days, especially in heat like this... If it goes that far, its going to be pretty tough. It gets easier the more you do it.In a way its nice we have got three formats of the game. It can be a lot sometimes but I really enjoyed playing white-ball cricket. Now enjoying coming back for some Test stuff, doing something different.Since the Tests against New Zealand, Australia have played T20s in South Africa, the World T20 and the ODI tri-series in the West Indies. Khawaja, who announced yesterday that he had got engaged following the tri-series, suggested Sri Lankas heat could also be an obstacle once the Tests start.The weather is a big challenge. Very hot and humid. The conditions are different, similar to what you get in West Indies and India. Not too foreign, but one of those places where if you start scoring some runs, youll get comfortable. If the wicket deteriorates, though, it could get tough to score too.Australias squad of 15 is playing intra-squad warm-up games in Colombo, leading up to the first Test in Pallekele from July 26. That will be followed by Tests in Galle and Colombo, before the limited-overs leg featuring five ODIs and two T20s. ECCO Yucatan Sandalen Heren 069564-59691 Asfalt Zwart/Zwart .

CORVALLIS, Ore. -- When the Oregon State Beavers say theyre looking forward to the Civil War, they really mean it.In recent seasons the team hasnt always seemed quite as sincere about the prospects in facing Oregon, which has an eight-game winning streak in the rivalry.But it has been a disappointing season for the Ducks, who are 4-7 overall and 2-6 in the Pac-12, and likely wont play in the postseason for the first time since 2004.Oregon State, which is 3-8 overall but has an identical conference record as the Ducks, likes its chances at home, especially after a 42-17 victory over Arizona at Reser Stadium this past Saturday night.The Beavers are definitely fired up.Everyone in Oregon is probably going to be there, so were looking to win that one, too, said cornerback Dwayne Williams.Marcus McMaryion, pressed into duty as a starter for the Beavers earlier this season after both Darell Garretson and backup Conor Blount were injured, threw for 265 yards and a career-best five touchdowns against the Wildcats.Oregon State announced on Monday that the Civil War game was already a sellout.Big games are created sometimes by win-loss records or where you sit in the season. This game is a big game every year regardless of the situation or the scenario, Beavers coach Gary Andersen said. Our kids understand that, they know that and its a privlege and honor for them to play in it. Its a game theyll remember for the rest of their lives. The Ducks will be motivated, too.Oregon is coming off a 30-28 upset of then-No. 11 Utah, a victory that was sealed by Justin Herberts touchdown pass to Darren Carrington with two seconds left.Oregon State running back Ryan Nall predicted a fun game. Nall has rushed for 796 yards and nine touchdowns, but his season has been marred by a foot injury.ddddddddddddere going to take off with momentum. Oregon also came off a big win, so they are going to come after us, Nall said. Theyre not going to just going to think, `Oh, its Oregon State. We beat them every year. Its going to be a fun game. Were coming off a big win; theyre coming off a big win. Well see who can execute the best.Nalls Oregon counterpart, Royce Freeman, has had two straight games with 100 or more yards, and seems to have bounced back after a midseason lull. Freeman has 839 yards rushing and nine touchdowns.The last two weeks have been better, theres still time, coach Mark Helfrich said. He did some great stuff absolutely like youre saying, thats the quote-unquote `old Royce. That was good to see.In the end, however, the game may come down to defense, where both teams are struggling.Oregon is ranked 126th in the nation for total defense, allowing an average of 528.2 yards a game, and 126th in scoring defense, allowing 42.1 points per game.The Beavers are allowing averages of 433.3 yards and 31.1 points per game. Theyre ranked 88th in both categories.Andersen cautioned not to be fooled by Oregons slump this season.Do I worry about our kids getting over hyped? No, we talked about it today, Andersen said. You walk into these games and you respect your opponent. You expect to go out and play well, you expect to win, and thats what you do against every opponent that you play. Does this game have a little extra energy, a little extra juice? It should because its your last regular season game of the season. Youre playing against your rival.
