Lahiru Thirimanne, the Sri Lanka batsman, might need a break from cricket to sort out his problems, said the A team coach Avishka Gunawardene.Thirimanne had played in the four-day matches against West Indies A in October and averaged 9.83 from six innings, continuing his struggles in long-form cricket. Since January 2014, he has made only two fifties in 16 Tests. As a result, he has missed Sri Lankas home series against Australia in August and was not in the squad for the tour of Zimbabwe either.Everyone goes through a bad patch sometimes, Gunawardene said. It is best to give it a break, a few weeks from cricket. Sometimes when you do wrong things and when you take a break you forget them. You basically tend to forget what you are doing wrong and you come out fresh.Thirimanne needs to take his mind off cricket and take a break. There is hardly anything wrong with his technique. The issue is probably more mental than technical. You could see that when you talk to him.When he debuted, in 2011, Thirimanne was seen as a player who could take over the No. 3 spot for Sri Lanka in Tests. Kumar Sangakkara had been their specialist in that position and though it has been over a year since he retired, the transition has not happened. Thirimanne has slipped down the pecking order and 21-year old Kusal Mendis has been given the No. 3 position.Gunawardene felt Thirimannes major problem was confidence. In the four-day game, he dropped a few chances and its all to do with confidence. His confidence level is a little down. He tried to defend while batting and he got out and in the second innings. He tried to attack and still got out.Thirimanne is a very good player and we all know he is capable of big innings. To me he just needs to get out and take a break for a couple of weeks and come out with a fresh mind.Thirimanne would still need runs, though, to make it back to the Test side and Gunawardene believed a profitable domestic season could help him achieve that goal. Its a good opportunity for him in the upcoming domestic season to go and get back into form, score some big runs and get his confidence and rhythm back. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Jake-Matthews-Jersey/ . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Hats/ .

Kentucky CapsuleEds: With BC-BKC--Kentucky Preview.By The Associated Press=KentuckyLast season: 27-9, lost in second round of NCAA Tournament.Coach: John Calipari.Nickname: Wildcats.Conference: Southeastern.Whos gone: G Tyler Ulis, G Jamal Murray, F Skal Labissiere, F Marcus Lee (transfer), G/F Charles Matthews (transfer), F Alex Poythress.Whos back: G Isaiah Briscoe. The sophomore is the Wildcats leading returning scorer and rebounder at 9.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game last season; F Derek Willis. The senior is coming off a career-best season in which he averaged 7.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per contest and became a key part of Kentuckys rotation.Whos new: F Edrice Bam Adebayo, a 6-foot-10 McDonalds All-American who is expected to provide a needed presence on both ends of the floor; F Sacha Killeya-Jones, another 6-10 All-American and big man; 6-9 F Wenyen Gabriel; and 6-3 Gs DeAaron Fox and Malik Monk, both All-Americans who can score and play the point.dddddddddddd.The Skinny: Kentucky lost scoring and floor leadership with the departures of Ulis and Murray to the NBA Draft but Monk, Fox and Briscoe provide plenty of ball-handling options. Inside presence wont be an issue this year with Adebayo, whos already being compared with past Wildcat greats Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. If Kentuckys big men attack the basket and the boards as expected and the team finds some offense, the Wildcats might reach their fifth Final Four in eight seasons under Calipari.---Online:www.collegebasketball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
