Brian ODriscoll believes the reappointment of Andy Farrell to Warren Gatlands British and Irish Lions coaching team would be welcomed by players. Farrell is favourite to reprise the defence role he performed with distinction in 2013 when Australia were beaten 2-1, with Gatland scheduled to announce his assistants in Dublin on December 7.

Farrell is good man manager and motivator and we got excited when he started talking. Kick chase became exciting, ODriscoll said.

He talked about getting off the line, about no logs on the ground, about making sure youre back on your feet.It was all about energy. The way Farrell talks, he really gets into it. And if he was on the coaching ticket I think he would be a really great addition. ODriscoll thinks Farrell should be part of the Lions staff in New Zealand next summer Farrell was Englands defence coach until the hosts demise in last autumns World Cup, but has since been recruited by Ireland.Former Ireland captain ODriscoll believes his imprint was stamped all over the historic 40-29 victory over New Zealand in Chicago on November 6.Andy has been incredibly influential. I have spoken to the boys and the very first session that he took they were incredibly excited about what he was saying, the enthusiasm that he had, ODriscoll added. Ireland celebrate their historic win over New Zealand in Chicago The boys who were on the Lions Tour in 2013 said he has brought his coaching to another level since then.When I was playing, we were all relatively organised defensively as a team, but it was probably one cog that we missed because [head coach] Joe Schmidt was taking it and he had everything to think about.When you give responsibility for defence to one person, I think it only adds value to the team because they are so focused. You have seen it with Wales for many years with Shaun Edwards.Now the players get excited about how their defence goes. Attack for them is an added bonus, but how their defence responds in a game is how they earn their crust. ODriscoll enjoyed the victory at Soldier Field and won some money as well Irelands victory against New Zealand in America was their first taste of success against the world champions in 111 years and on Saturday they face a rematch at the Aviva Stadium, live on Sky Sports.ODriscoll backed Ireland to beat the bookmakers spread of winning by plus 23, winning a couple of quid, nothing life changing but enough to add to a good weekend, and insists they can do it again.Its obviously a bigger challenge because theyve poked the bear.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. The first-over wicket Talk about throwing a kid to the wolves. Avishka Fernando, 18, entered this match without having played any senior cricket at all - that is, no first-class, List A or domestic T20 matches. He had impressed for Sri Lankas Under-19s, but walking out to open against Mitchell Starc is quite another matter. Especially given Starcs record of striking in the first over of an innings. Fernando blocked his first ball but was trapped lbw from his second by a quick inswinger. It meant that for the fifth time from 10 innings across the Tests and ODIs on this trip, Starc had made a breakthrough in the first over of the innings.The Pereras Three Pereras - Kusal, Thisara and Dilruwan - played in the earlier matches of this series, but Sri Lankas selectors decided they still didnt have enough. And so for the fourth ODI in Dambulla, they decided a fourth Perera in Angelo was necessary. Just to confuse matters further, they batted respectively at Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 10, which meant that often a pair of Pereras batted together, and sometimes one replaced another. For the record, 12 Pereras have played first-class cricket in Sri Lanka in the past year, so there is scope for an entire team of Pereras, plus one to carry the drinks. A policy of one Perera per era would make things much simpler.The rough time Glancing at the scorecard will reveal nothing of what Angelo Mathews went through in scoring his 40 from 71 deliveries. On 2, Mathews ducked into a bouncer from Scott Boland and was struck on the helmet, the protective flapss flying off on impact.dddddddddddd He needed a few minutes to compose himself and receive some treatment from the physio, but Mathews batted on. Then when he was on 6, Mathews pushed a single to mid-off and had to duck to avoid the fielders throw that whacked him in the head again. Finally, on 28, Mathews clipped one to leg and took off for a single, injuring his right calf in the process. He limped off the field to retire hurt. Mathews hobbled back out there near the end of the innings to add 12 more runs, and was the last man out from the sixth ball of the 50th over.The drop It wasnt easy, but it was costly. The eighth ball of Australias innings was lofted down the ground by Aaron Finch off Amila Aponso. Thisara Perera misjudged a chance to take the catch at mid-on, having to backtrack at the last minute and thrust his hand over his head. The dropped chance came with Finch on 4. He went on to equal the record for the fastest ODI fifty by an Australian, and ended up with 55 off 19 balls.The no-ball At 131 for 3 and with Australia speeding along at more than nine an over, Sri Lanka needed wickets. Dilruwan Perera duly obliged, bowling Travis Head with an arm ball. But umpire Michael Gough asked the batsman to wait while a potential no-ball was checked. And indeed, Dilruwan had overstepped. The first no-ball of the series came four matches in, from a spinner, from a ball that took a wicket. Ouch. [url=http://w
