Trent Boult bristled when he was reminded of the back niggle that kept him out for a part of last years international action.What injury? was his response, when asked if he considered himself to be back at his best. Then, he brushed it off as something confined to ancient history, not a mere 12 months ago, and insisted it had no impact on the speeds he was bowling.In Zimbabwe, Boult averaged in the late 120s. Perhaps what he could not say was that the surfaces and the opposition - unresponsive and inexperienced - did not require him to bend his back. Perhaps he knew he needed to save that for South Africa. And he has.Be it the natural progression that comes with recovery, or a conscious effort to be more clinical, Boult was just as difficult to get away and more dangerous in Durban. His first two spells cost just 18 runs and yielded two wickets, both off good deliveries and not poor shots, and it was only in the third spell, when he searched for reverse swing that things became a little untidy.More notable was the fact that he was quicker than he was in Bulawayo - with an average speed of 134 kph and hitting 141.5 kph for the days fastest ball - and he continued to find late movement, forcing the batsmen to pay full attention to every ball. Trent bowled really well to start, and that set the day up for us. He looked like he was in great rhythm, Neil Wagner said.Boult got rid of two of South Africas most assured batsmen - opener Stephen Cook and Hashim Amla - and bored their way into a still-fragile middle-order, which could not ride out pressure for long enough to post substantial scores. Fortunately for New Zealands other bowlers, they did not need to emulate Boult to get reward. Quite a few of us got out to deliveries in ways that could have been avoided, Amla said.Dean Elgar, JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock were the guiltiest parties. All three squandered starts with careless strokes, which seemed to be in line with South Africas policy of starting more strongly than they have in the past. Instead of criticising it, Amla examined the merits of the more aggressive approach, while adding that South Africa would need it to pay off before they can completely embrace it.I tried to bat normally. It wasnt a conscious effort to score quickly. If I look at anybody else, they were hitting the half-volleys and cut shots. Thats what you need to do to score runs, Amla said. Someone like Quinny [Quinton de Kock] has been around for three or four years and he is aggressive by nature. He plays that way. He got a quick 30 and had he not got out, we would have been in a good position. As he becomes more experienced, he will work it out. He played exceptionally well to get us some momentum, but, unfortunately, he didnt bat through.Now South Africa find themselves in what Amla has admitted is not a great position, as they look to scrape some runs tomorrow morning, against a New Zealand attack that can see the finish line and understands that it needs to approach it as Boult did on day one. With the wicket having a little bit more bounce here, your margin of error was a little smaller in Bulawayo, Wagner said. As a bowler, you can get a little bit carried away here, but I thought everybody bowled exceptionally well in partnerships today. We are pretty happy with where we are, but we know we still need to get two crucial wickets tomorrow and then go in with the bat and apply ourselves.

Fake Vans Shoes Suppliers . The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. LANDOVER, Md. -- Kirk Cousins wondered early in the Washington Redskins game against the Green Bay Packers if the wind would make it difficult.Instead, Cousins gripped the ball tighter, ripped it into the air and threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Redskins to a 42-24 victory Sunday night, Washingtons sixth victory in eight games.Handing the Packers (4-6) a potentially season-crushing fourth consecutive loss, Cousins outdueled two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and got the Redskins (6-3-1) rolling into a Thanksgiving showdown against the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys.Lights out, said DeSean Jackson, who had a 17-yard touchdown catch . QB rating 145? So we need him to play like that a lot more. I think if we can get our guy back there playing like that, pretty much unstoppable.With Cousins carving up Green Bays porous pass defense and Robert Kelley running for 137 yards and three touchdowns, Washington put up 517 yards didnt wilt like it did in a playoff loss to the Packers. We Want Dallas chants filled FedEx Field in the final minutes of the game that only became a blowout late, but this was a well-rounded performance that the Redskins wish they couldve put together in January.We certainly had a sour taste in our mouths walking away from the game last season, said Cousins, who was 21 of 30 and also had TD passes to Jamison Crowder and Pierre Garcon . When you watch the film, we felt like there were plays there to be made that didnt get made. I think tonight you saw what we felt we were capable of doing last January and just didnt get it done.While the Packers allowed 30 or more points for the fifth time in six games -- all losses -- Rodgers and the offense couldnt keep up. He was 26 of 41 for 351 yards and three touchdowns, but the result was the same.We put ourselves in a tough spot, Rodgers said. Weve got find a way to get a win next week and approach it one week at a time. Thats all weve got right now.The Redskins have a big meeting at Dallas to look forward to. The Cowboys (9-1) have won nine in a row.Were feeling good, but at the same time its a short week and were playing one of the best teams in the NFL on Thursday, Cousins said.GGREEN BAY IN DEEP: The loss put the Packers two games back of the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North.dddddddddddd Each team won Sunday, meaning Green Bay may need to pull off a heck of a feat to return to the playoffs.We clearly understand the urgency thats in front of us, coach Mike McCarthy said.GUTSY GRUDEN: After kickers around the league missed 11 extra-point attempts going in, Washington coach Jay Gruden opted to go for 2 twice -- and converted neither. But he was validated when Green Bays Mason Crosby missed a 36-yard attempt at that end in the third quarter and when his kicker, Dustin Hopkins, shanked an extra-point attempt off the right upright in the fourth.Gruden was feeling risky all night, going for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 41 with 6:22 left. Cousins sneaked it to convert and reward his coach, and the drive finished with a touchdown by Kelley.The fourth-and-1 was pretty simple: It was half a yard, and the wind was pretty strong in our face, Gruden said. Thought our offensive line was getting pretty good movement (and) wed get half a yard with the quarterback sneak play.BANGED-UP PACKERS: Already missing offensive linemen J.C. Tretter and T.J. Lang, the Packers lost cornerback Demitri Goodson (knee), replacement right guard Don Barclay (shoulder), linebacker Blake Marinez (knee) and safety Kentrell Brice (back).QUICK-STRIKE OFFENSE: While the offenses were on ice early in the night, they combined for two touchdowns in the first 35 seconds of the fourth quarter. Rodgers 31-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open James Starks came on the first play of the fourth, and Cousins connected with Garcon on a 70-yard touchdown on the second play of the Redskins next drive.QUOTABLEKelley on his special night: Real special, especially for the guys in the fantasy leagues.Packers safety Micah Hyde: We have way too much talent in this locker room to be performing like that. But week in, week out, were doing it. Im speechless.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
