David Warner admits that Australias batsmen have fallen into a debilitating pattern of middle-order batting collapses that are wasting decent starts, and also says he does not know how the problem will be rectified.Having made 97 in an opening stand of 158 with Shaun Marsh, Warner said he was demoralised by watching the loss of all Australias 10 wickets for 86, surrendering prime position in the WACA Test to South Africa despite the visiting teams loss of Dale Steyn to a serious shoulder injury.The passage of play mirrored numerous innings on the recent tour of Sri Lanka despite vastly different conditions, and Warner said he could see the pattern stretching even further back, to the 2015 Ashes tour.I feel there has been a trend as well in the last 12 and maybe 18 months that also follows on to when we were in England and we were playing there, Warner said. Its tough to see as an opening batter sometimes when you get off to those starts as a top four and then you sort of fall away that easily.Its quite hard to take that when youre in the change rooms. I cant really remember, unless we go back to Hobart last year, where we really capitalised in that middle period. Thats something weve really got to work hard on, and at the moment I dont really have the answers.But we have to really knuckle down as a batting unit and try to build partnerships. We always talk about someone going on to get a big hundred in the top four, but its on everyone else in the middle as well to put their hand up and accept some responsibility to move forward as well and create that partnership.The Australian middle order seems an area for particular concern, most notably the failings of the allrounder Mitchell Marsh and the wicketkeeper Peter Nevill. Both were put more or less on notice before this match by the selection chairman Rod Marsh, but neither could assert themselves on day two - Nevill admittedly on the wrong end of an apparently incorrect decision after making a start. Warner said Marsh needed to work out how he batted best.You have to back yourself as a player, whether or not theres mixed messages there, him as a player knows and understands the game, Warner said. Hes here at this level for a reason, hes been chosen and selected in the team for a reason, thats to score runs and take wickets. He has to work out what he has to do to score runs and take wickets for the team. Then for his sake hell gain a bit of momentum.Ive been at the other end, I go back to a game at Wellington where he came out and won us the game against New Zealand, he played his strokes and played beautifully. Thats the Mitch Marsh we know as well. Im pretty sure for him as an individual I dont think hes clouded in any way.Pondering the state of the game with Steyn ruled out and the pitch currently playing well but likely to deteriorate, Warner said the first session on day three would be vital, with early wickets a must.Weve seen here before once its a great batting surface as it is. If you get yourself in, make the most of it and capitalise I think anythings chase-able, Warner said. They need to bat for two days if they can with two frontline bowlers, so we have to come out and bowl well. Were going to have to work really hard in that first session.Theyve still got two very, very good fast bowlers, and weve seen the wickets theyre capable of with the ball going both ways. We have to respect that. We cant look too far forward. Weve got to bowl well first tomorrow, then weve got to know that you get through that first period with the new ball they can only revert back to spin. Weve got to really knuckle down and apply that pressure on their two frontline bowlers.Im disappointed for Dale, all the amp and the talk in this series, I know how pumped he wouldve been. I know hes had this injury for a while, I just hope he can get back on the park. Trevon Wesco Womens Jersey .

The Longhorns (14-4, 3-2) got their biggest win of the season with their third in the row in the Big 12. ARLINGTON, Texas -- As he sat half-dressed at his locker putting on a pair of socks, Tony Romos new reality became clear.Ten feet to his right, a throng of reporters four or five deep listened intently to rookie running back Ezekiel Elliotts every word. Next to Elliott, a member of the Dallas Cowboys public relations staff huddled with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott.Another large group of reporters waited for wide receiver Dez Bryant, whose locker is adjacent to Romos, encroaching on the former starting quarterbacks space.A couple of reporters waited for the NFLs highest-paid backup quarterback, one TV camera focused on him.Guys, Im not talking, Romo said as he pulled on a pair of black Gucci loafers. I appreciate it. Thanks.Romo spoke briefly to tight end Gavin Escobar, hugged him and left the locker room through the trainers room so he wouldnt have to face any more media. His cousin carried his duffel bag.The Cowboys beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-17 on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. It was Romos first game on the sideline as the backup quarterback. Five days earlier, he announced that Prescott had earned the right to be the Cowboys starting quarterback.Prescott showed why he has earned the job, passing for 301 yards and three touchdowns as the Cowboys rallied from a pair of early deficits to win their franchise-record ninth straight game.A few minutes before the game started, Romo and Prescott played catch to warm up. During the game, Romo wore a headset so he could hear the plays, and he spoke to Prescott between series like he has always done.He was as helpful ass he always is, said Prescott, giving me feedback and telling me things we may need to do here and there.dddddddddddd The only difference I guess is he was in a uniform. Hes been a great help all year.For a moment in the second quarter, it looked like Romo might have a chance to get in the game. As Prescott rolled right and threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Cole Beasley, Baltimore linebacker C.J. Mosley drove Prescott into the turf out of bounds.Mosley was called for a personal foul, and Prescott was on the turf face first for several moments. Then he slowly got up, walked for a while, then jogged to the Cowboys sideline.Prescott led the Cowboys to points on each of their three drives in the second half.As time expired, a smiling Romo turned and shook play-caller Scott Linehans hand. He dapped up running back Lance Dunbar and walked through the congestion of players to shake Baltimore quarterback Joe Flaccos hand.They exchanged pleasantries, and Romo headed to the locker room, slapping hands with a couple of fans as he walked into the bowels of the stadium.[Cowboys coach Jason] Garrett has done a good job of keeping us locked in about what were supposed to do individually, and we focus on our job and not worry about whats going on around us and outside our locker room, Beasley said.We just keep grinding. Its next play, next minute. Its just live in the moment.Thats also a good way for Romo to deal with his new reality. ' ' '
