ventually played, there was no way he could have

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are accustomed to weather delaysAnd, if the past two weeks are an indication, opposing teams better be prepared to deal with them, too, when they visit Raymond James Stadium.Play was suspended in the fourth quarter of a Bucs game because of inclement weather for the second straight week Sunday, when fans were ordered to leave their seats and seek cover in stadium concourses.The Denver Broncos had to wait 86 minutes to close out the final 6:33 of a dominating 27-7 victory that kept the defending Super Bowl champions unbeaten.The previous Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams held on for a 37-32 win after the two-minute warning turned into a 69-minute delay due to a severe thunderstorm punctuated by lightning.A crazy situation. You dont practice it as a coach, Denvers Gary Kubiak said.Our coaches and our players handled it like a mature group. We stayed focused. ... My biggest concern for both teams was just player safety, the Broncos coach added, You sit around for an hour, 25 minutes and come back out there, but it looks like both teams got out healthy. Thats the most important thing.While fans were urged to stay in the stadium and not flee to the parking lots, players hustled to the locker rooms. Once the weather cleared, the teams were told when to return to the field and given 15 minutes to warm up.Thunder could be heard in the distance when the game resumed in heavy rain. Most of the announced crowd of 60,375 did not return to their seats for the conclusion of the game.Unlike the previous week, when the Bucs anticipated getting the ball coming out the two-minute warning and used the delay to plot strategy to try to overcome a five-point deficit against the Rams, Sundays game pretty much was decided by the time play was suspended.To be honest, I didnt say a word, Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander said of what was said in the Tampa Bay locker room during the delay. I was just focused, just trying to get back out there and make a play for our offense to get some points on the board. We really didnt say (anything), everybody was just thinking and being focused. (A game) never feels over to me. I never give up on anything.The Bucs routinely have to juggle practice times and schedules because of severe weather on Floridas Gulf Coast. There have been delays during preseason and regular season games in the past, though none that stopped play during the closing minutes of fourth quarters in consecutive weeks.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Mel Ott Jersey .

Test sides bowl with plans to get batsmen out. The field, your history with certain bowlers and certain dismissals, the bowlers strengths, and your own habits usually indicate what that plan is. Rarely does the plan catch you by surprise. So the big screen at Eden Gardens did not need to show Virat Kohlis dismissal in Kanpur just after Neil Wagner had bowled his second bouncer at Indias captain. From the end that that Wagner was bowling those bouncers, the High Court End, the big screen was right in Kohlis eye line at long-off. It is possible he saw it too. Wagner bowling short with a deep fine leg and a deep square leg, right between his chest and his shoulder, Kohli hooking and top-edging it for an easy catch. They might as well have played Kohli under-edging a hook in Auckland to a ball wide enough to be cut.It was no secret, what the plan was. Bounce him, deny him, then bowl the sucker ball. If he wants to take the short ball on, you have the field. This time a forward and a backward short leg to go with deep fine leg and deep square leg.Different batsmen deal differently with plans. Some prefer to see that period out; let the bowlers give their best, absorb everything they have got, and then take on lesser or tired bowlers. Some hate to allow bowlers to bowl to a plan. They want to defeat the plan. The batsmans ego then takes over. Kohli usually falls in the second category, which is why New Zealand felt they could play on his patience.To be fair to Kohli, both times in Kanpur he came out in situations where he could attempt to dominate. Perhaps the situation of the innings made him play the shots he did. Here he was going to show more patience, having walked in at 28 for 2 on a pitch helpful enough to quicks, thereby allowing the New Zealand bowlers to bowl to a plan. One of the reasons you felt this patience was going to be short-lived, though, is Kohlis insistence on not letting the bowler dominate.The other big reason was that between chest and shoulder is Wagners top of off. And he is a beast when it comes to fitness and endurance. He has the field, and he can bowl to that field for long periods. You feel he will tire at some point, he doesnt. Once, in Christchurch, he took six wickets with bouncers after Australia had dominated their way to 356 for 2. None of his first five wickets was a fend, they were all aggressive shots. The batsmen had just tired of ducking and weaving. Wagner hadnt tired of bowling bouncers.dddddddddddd. Add to that that Kohli has that batsmans ego, which hates it when the bowlers think they have an obvious plan. So started this great dance. Wagner bowling bouncers. None of them to be sanctioned by the umpire. Kohli looking to show patience - for how long, you wondered. Duck. Duck. Replay on big screen. Fended in front of rib cage. Get inside the line with the short ball worryingly following you. Behind the line to fend. Another duck.Six balls were enough. Having watched Mitchell Santner tie Pujara up at the other end, Kohli pulled the first ball of Wagners next over, but he was on it too late and was lucky the mis-hit didnt go to hand. Two more bouncers followed in that Wagner spell. Kohli ducked one, and then rose to his toes to fend off the other.With nine bouncers bowled to Kohli, with the batsman on 4 off 22 balls, New Zealand thought Wagner had done his job. Wagner had softened the joint with many blows, now a precision artist was required to break it. Enter Trent Boult. For a moment, when he drove beautifully off the first ball he faced from Boult, it seemed like Kohli had seen off the tough period. The bowler corrected his length for the next two balls, denying Kohli the drive, and then bowled the sucker ball that was part of the original plan. Short of driving length but full enough to draw the batsman forward, wide outside off, away from Kohlis reach.Teams have always tried to get Kohli out by denying him outside off, bowling out of reach of his cover drive. Kohli doesnt want that to happen. On flatter pitches he bulldozes that plan, as he did in Australia. This is not to say that his way is always the wrong way or the right way. Arguably you need different characters in the team, who handle bowlers plans differently. As Kohli said a day before the match, as cricketers all you can do is prepare the best you can because of the amount of luck involved in the game.The shot that Kohli eventually played, there was no way he could have controlled it. Now it was all down to luc
