Six weeks ago, Joe Mennie was happily flying under the radar, much as he has for the past few years. A call-up for Australia A was exciting, but his attitude remained the same. Im not one for putting myself out there massively, Mennie told ESPNcricinfo at the time. Im at the stage where not a lot of people, unless you really know cricket, know my name. Im not too dissatisfied with that.But that desire sat at odds with his other goal: to play for Australia. Now, that is about to become a reality for Mennie, who has been named in Australias ODI squad to tour South Africa later this month. His name will not only be known, but will be emblazoned on the back of an Australia shirt. It is a scenario that is yet to sink in for Mennie.I was very shocked actually, Mennie told reporters in Adelaide on Monday. I got the call from [national selector] Rod Marsh and I didnt know what to say, there was a bit of silence on both ends from us. It was something I didnt see coming and something Im very happy with and looking forward to.Mennie is one of three uncapped fast bowlers picked in the ODI squad, along with his South Australia team-mate Daniel Worrall and Victorias Chris Tremain. All three having been performing well for Australia A over the past few weeks in Queensland, and with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood rested for the South Africa tour, space opened up for some fresh faces.Perhaps the most surprising thing for Mennie is that his chance has arrived in one-day cricket, which has not been his strongest format. Last summer in the Matador Cup, Mennie picked up seven wickets at 50.85 and conceded more than five an over, while he topped the wickets tally in the Sheffield Shield. However, he believes the call-up has come at the best possible time.The body is feeling good, the ball is coming out the best it ever has, so from that point of view Im hitting my straps pretty well and probably youd say the form of my career, Mennie said. The last couple of years Ive hit my straps and found my game. I was really happy to get the opportunity to represent Australia A and then to get the call-up for the one-day tournament coming up is very pleasing.Although Mennie does not possess the sheer pace preferred by Australias selectors - he tends to operate around the 130kph mark - his consistency and accuracy have been key features of his game over the past few seasons. At least his record in South Africa is encouraging, if brief: five wickets at 14.60 for the Perth Scorchers during the 2012 Champions League T20.Stepping up to international cricket will be a different challenge for Mennie, who will find himself competing with Worrall, Tremain, John Hastings and Scott Boland for the positions as specialist fast men during the South African trip.Thats the next test for me, going over and putting what I do well into practice in that next level, Mennie said. Thats where a lot of people come undone. Thats the next challenge for me. Its about me performing and doing what I do. Cheapest Yeezy 350 V2 .

One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. CINCINNATI -- For most of the game, A.J. Green piled up more yards than the entire Miami Dolphins offense in a virtuoso performance. As an encore, he thrilled the crowd by juggling some Florida citrus.The Bengals receiver followed his disappointing game with a dominating one -- 173 yards and a touchdown -- and a Cincinnati defense that was inspired by Vontaze Burficts return clamped down on the Dolphins for a 22-7 victory Thursday night.The Bengals (2-2) rebounded from a 29-17 home loss to Denver on Sunday with a solid all-around game against a depleted team.Green led the way, beating the Dolphins (1-3) on every type of route . He was upset with himself after he dropped a pivotal third-down pass and failed to make an impact against the Broncos.I hold myself to a very high standard, said Green, who had 10 catches. I know what Im capable of. Last week I didnt perform to that level. I had to refocus on a short week.During the first three quarters, Green had 166 yards on catches while Miami had 152 total yards. The Bengals season-long problem of stalling out near the goal line forced them to settle for Mike Nugents season-high five field goals.Afterward, Green and Andy Dalton appeared on the postgame show, and the receiver entertained the dozens of Bengals fans who stayed around by smoothly juggling three oranges at the interview desk.Any time he was one-on-one, he was able to make the play, Dalton said.The Dolphins were missing four starting offensive linemen, two linebackers, running back Arian Foster and tight end Jordan Cameron. They had one big play -- Ryan Tannehill threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills -- but couldnt do anything else on offense.Weve got to get it fixed and quick, and by that I mean Monday, Tannehill said. Were kind of in a dark spot right now. Its squarely on our shoulders.The Bengals defense expected to get a lift from Burficts return. The volatile linebacker was suspended by the NFL for the first three games because of his illegal hits. He got a loud ovation when he ran onto the field during introductions wearing a baseball cap. Burfict knocked down a pass and had three tackles.Hes amazing, end Carlos Dunlap said. Did you see the plays he made? Those arent plays you can coach. He came off his couch and played great. Itss good to have him back.ddddddddddddMostly, it was Greens show. He caught a 51-yard pass off Daltons scramble in the first half, and had a 43-yard catch that set up another field goal in the third quarter for a 19-7 lead.REMEMBERING FERNANDEZA large fan banner in the upper deck at Paul Brown Stadium honored Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who died with two friends in a boat crash early Sunday near Miami Beach. The banner read: Jose 16 Heavens Bright.STILL CANT RUNThe Bengals rushed for 77 yards and only a 2.1-yard average against the second-worst run defense in the league, one missing two starting linebackers.SLOPPY DOLPHINSMiami had seven penalties for 68 yards. The most egregious was by Terrence Fede, who pushed Kevin Huber to the ground after he punted in the third quarter. The penalty gave Cincinnati the ball, and the Bengals got a field goal out of it.INJURIESDolphins: LT Branden Albert and C Anthony Steen were inactive with sprained ankles. Also missing were LBs Koa Misi (neck) and Jelani Jenkins (groin). C Mike Pouncey has missed all four games with a hip injury.Bengals: TE Tyler Eifert was inactive again, contributing to the Bengals trouble close to the goal line. Hes recovering from offseason ankle surgery and returned to practice on a limited basis last week. CB Dre Kirkpatrick was inactive with a hamstring injury suffered Sunday. G Clint Boling sat out most of the fourth quarter with an injured left shoulder.ANTHEM STATEMENTSStills and Dolphins safety Michael Thomas knelt with their hands over their hearts during the anthem.FANTASY IMPACTTannehill was 15 of 25 for 189 yards with a touchdown, an interception, a fumble and five sacks. Dalton was 22 of 31 for 296 yards with a touchdown and a sack.UP NEXTThe Dolphins begin a stretch of four straight home games against Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and the New York Jets.The Bengals have a tough two-game stretch, playing Dallas and New England on the road. Theyre 1-5 in Dallas, dropping their last three. Theyve dropped their last six at New England, last winning in 1986.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
