Angelo Mathews has said he will not run away from the Sri Lanka captaincy and insisted he wants to help haul the team out of their current trough.The 122-run defeat in Cardiff meant Sri Lanka lost the one-day series 3-0 to follow the 2-0 reversal in the Test matches. They now have the lone T20 in Southampton on Tuesday to try and take something tangible from the two-month tour before returning home to face Australia across all three formats.Mathews has been Test and ODI captain since 2013 and then also took the T20 role when he replaced Lasith Malinga shortly before the World T20 earlier this year.This tour has been a far cry from the 2014 visit to England where Mathews led Sri Lanka to victories in both the Test and ODI series.There will be good times as well as bad. This is a tough time for me as a captain and for the whole unit but you cant run away from it. You have to deal with the issues, he said. I have a good bunch of players who support me throughout and Im pretty sure if we keep improving day-by-day we can come out of this hole.In the one-day series, Mathews admitted England had outplayed his side in every department and bemoaned the same problems being repeated throughout the trip.For the past two months weve been having the same problems, either batting, bowling or fielding has let us down in every single game, he said. In the one-dayers we needed a perfect day to win against England. We didnt have that perfect game and we paid the price. Congratulations to the English boys, they put us under a lot of pressure and didnt give us the slightest of chances. They outplayed us in all three departments.Sri Lanka were one of Englands opponents when they were at a low point as a one-day side, thrashing them by nine wickets in Wellington during the World Cup having beaten them 5-2 in Sri Lanka before that tournament - the series which ended the one-day captaincy of Alastair Cook. The contrast has not been lost on Mathews.A few years back they were in the same situation as us, a rebuilding phase and they have stuck to their plans, theyve stuck to their players and now you can see the results, he said. Theyve been improving day-by-day and over the last six or eight months theyve been playing some fantastic cricket.

Nike Vapormax Utility Pas Cher .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. http://www.vapormaxpluspascher.fr/ . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. Acheter Vapormax Plus . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Vapormax Noir Femme Pas Cher . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and Clemson held the top four spots in the College Football Playoff rankings for the second straight week and Washington moved up a spot to fifth this week.Wisconsin is sixth in the selection committee rankings released Tuesday night. Louisville was the team that took a big drop. The Cardinals fell from fifth to 11th after losing at Houston.Ohio State and Michigan play Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, and the loser is likely -- though not definitely -- out of the playoff race. The Wolverines would move on the Big Ten championship game by beating the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes, though, need help to reach the conference title game.Unbeaten Alabama meets Auburn on Saturday, but the Crimson Tide has already clinched a spot in the SEC title game.Clemson finishes its regular season against South Carolina and then will play in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game against either Virginia Tech or North Carolina.Washington must win at Washington State, ranked 23rd by the committee, on Friday to win the Pac-12 North and move on to the conference title game against No. 9 Colorado or No. 12 Southern California---BUCKEYES LOOKING GOODOhio State could get shut out of the Big Ten championship game if Penn State, seventh in the committees rankings, beats Michigan State on Saturday. But listening to committee chairman Kirby Hocutt it certainly sounds like the Buckeyes have separated themselves enough from Penn State that the committee is willing to overlook their loss to the Nittany Lions and the possible lack of a conference champions.The committee uses conference championships and head-to-head results to separate teams with similar resumes.But Hocutt, the athletic director of Texas Tech, said as of now the committee does not see a small gap between Ohio State and Penn State.Hocutt said committee took a lot of time ranking teams two through five, spent little time placing Wisconsin at six, and then found very little separation between Penn State and No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 9 Colorado and No. 10 Oklahoma State.---THE BIG 12Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have set up a de facto Big 12 title game for Dec. 3, but thhe conference still looks shutout of the playoff without upsets in the other conferences.ddddddddddddhe Cowboys have two losses but one was against Central Michigan and it came on a last-play touchdown that was set up be an officiating error. Hocutt said the committee does not adjust the Cowboys record for the mistake, but it does consider the circumstances of the loss.The Big 12, at the very least, needs one other Power Five champion to finish with two losses to have a shot to make the playoff. But if it comes down to a bunch of teams with two losses the Big Ten seems to have a better chance to get two teams into the field than the Big 12 has to get one.---USC LURKINGThe Trojans have won seven straight games since starting 1-3, play Notre Dame on Saturday and still have a chance to be Pac-12 champions.With Sam Darnold at quarterback since game four, USC has been looked like one of the best teams in the country and it would be fascinating to see how much the committee weighs improvement over the course of the season against the full body of work if a couple of upsets clear a path for the Trojans to climb into the discussion for the final spot.---GROUP OF FIVEThere were four teams from outside Power Five conference in the committee rankings this week, the most at any point this season. The highest ranked champion from the Group of Five conferences will receive a bid to the Cotton Bowl.Boise State was best at No. 19, followed by Houston and Western Michigan. Navy was No. 24.The rankings changed but the situation is still the same as last week. Boise State cant reach the Mountain West championship game on Dec. 3 without a Wyoming loss Saturday. Houston is locked out of the American Athletic Conference title game. Navy has the AAC West clinched.That puts unbeaten Western Michigan in the best position to go to the Cotton Bowl if it wins the Mid-American Conference, but still in danger of being nudged out if Boise State wins its conference.---Follow Ralph D.
