England must defeat a beatable South Africa to keep their World T20 hopes alive, says Sky Sports pundit Bob Willis. Whitey Herzog Cardinals Jersey . Eoin Morgans men succumbed to a six-wicket loss to West Indies in their Group 1 opener in Mumbai as Chris Gayle smashed an unbeaten 100 from 48 deliveries.England slipped to a 2-0 series reverse against the Proteas in South Africa earlier this year but Willis says there are fragilities that the team can exploit during Fridays clash at the same venue.South Africa are beatable in T20 cricket - they have some star batsmen, namely AB de Villiers, but their bowling is suspect and not quite what it used to be.It really is the old cliché of a must-win match as if England lose to South Africa it will be very difficult to get in the top-two places.Not only did they lose to West Indies but the West Indies net run rate is so superior, so England need to get back on the horse and register a win. Ben Stokes bowled two of Englands 10 wides in Mumbai Gayles thumping innings saw West Indies seal victory with 11 balls to spare - after England bowled 10 wides and two no balls at Wankhede Stadium.England were light on runs - just below 200 was probably par on a ground as small as that - but the most disappointing aspect for me was the control of the seam bowlers, said Willis.Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes were the main culprits, bowling too many wides and too many full tosses.They were pretty unlucky to get that amount of dew on the outfield, but 10 wides means 10 extra runs and also 10 more deliveries for the batsmen to score off. Sky Sports Nasser Hussain pays tribute to Chris Gayle after he smashed a century off just 47 balls West Indies won with just under two overs to spare, so if you count up the wides bowled thats the difference between the two sides.England need to be a lot more disciplined with their bowling - they were out-bowled by West Indies with their use of slower balls and yorkers, particularly by Dwayne Bravo.Gayle lashed 11 maximums in his knock, taking his tally in T20Is to 98 from 46 matches, seven ahead of second-placed Brendon McCullum, who bowed out from the international arena ahead of the World T20. Chris Gayle took the man of the match award as he brought up his century in just 48 balls in West Indies six wicket win over England Willis feels that with McCullum now focusing on the domestic game Gayle is arguably the most destructive short-form player in world cricket - and that his team must be classed as a threat to the World T20 title.With McCullum moving on, he is the best T20 player in the world, and he keep things so simple, added Willis.There are all those coaching manuals about moving your feet and trigger movements but there is only one movement from Gayle and then this lovely, languid swing - almost like a golfer - before the ball disappears into the stands.I think people forget how good the West Indies are at T20 cricket - they won the tournament in 2012 and half of the side spend their lives going around the world playing in the format.Watch complete coverage of the 2016 ICC World T20, live on Sky Sports.

Ken Boyer Cardinals Jersey . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments. http://www.authenticcardinalspro.com/car...-fowler-jersey/ . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders are hoping to have cornerback Sean Smith back in the lineup for Mondays game in Mexico City against the Houston Texans.Smith made it through a third consecutive day of practice Saturday and continues to wear a protective sling on his left shoulder while being listed as questionable on the teams medical report.Coach Jack Del Rio, who rarely discusses injuries in detail, declined to say whether Smith would play but sounded optimistic.Our guys that are questionable, we had about six of them, Im hoping they can all play, Del Rio said. Well just see how it goes.That list includes wide receiver Amari Cooper and running back Latavius Murray, along with offensive linemen Rodney Hudson and Kelechi Osemele. All four have been limited in practice this week.Defensive tackle Stacy McGee, who is nursing an ankle injury, joins Smith as the only defensive players on the injury list.Smith has not played since suffering a shoulder injury on the second play of the game against Tampa Bay on Oct. 30. Although the injury wasnt serious, Smith -- one of the Raiders top free-agent acquisitions after signing a $38 million, four-year deal -- was held out of Oaklands Week 9 win over Denver.With the Raiders on a bye last week, Smith will have had three weeks of rest by the time of Monday nights kickoff.When you talk about bye week, midseason is always ideal for any football team, Smith said. Red Schoendienst Jersey. Halfway to take a break and now we can knock out the other half.Smith rejoins a secondary that struggled early in the season but has played better in recent weeks.After giving up an average of 338 passing yards through the first five weeks, the Raiders have allowed only one quarterback -- Denvers Trevor Siemian -- to throw for more than 240 yards in the past four games.Texans QB Brock Osweiler passed for just 255 yards total in the last two games combined and has been held under 200 yards five times.Smith said he is focusing more on Houston offensive coordinator George Godseys play-calling than he is on Osweilers low numbers.I personally dont like to let the quarterback dictate how Im going to attack the game, Smith said. For me, its playing against the offensive coordinator. The only thing I can get from a quarterback is if he likes to stare down his targets, does he have a quick release or slow release? Other than that youre kind of playing against the coordinator.Regardless of who the receiver or quarterback is, somebody else is controlling them. If I can understand how that guy likes to think, his favorite concepts, thats the key.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
