It has been a big 12 months for Travis Head. High expectations have been placed on Head since his Sheffield Shield debut at the age of 18 and his potential was always on display, but the one large gap in his record was hundreds. In fact, at the start of last season he had made only one: 108 for the National Performance Squad in a one-day game against South Africa in Darwin in 2014. But over the past year, Heads numbers have exploded.It all started with 202 against Western Australia in the Matador Cup, the second-highest score in Australias domestic one-day competition history. Then came a maiden first-class century, 114 also against Western Australia. Then there was an unbeaten 101 in the BBL, 134 and 192 to finish off the Shield season, and last month he made his name in England with 175 for Yorkshire in Englands domestic one-day cup.No surprises, then, that Head is part of Australias ODI squad in Sri Lanka, where on Sunday he added a second cap having made his debut against West Indies in June. Although he managed only 10 having come in at 202 for 5 in a chase of 228, he got a taste of the Sri Lankan conditions and will be better placed for the second match.I feel like Im in really good nick, Head told reporters in Colombo ahead of the second ODI. I feel like Im batting really well. Ive scored runs. Its all worked towards here and now. It was nice to get some games in England. I think Ive had a nice round experience in the last 12 months, Ive experienced different things, different conditions, different players, observed a lot and just watched guys go about their business, which has helped me.Notably, Head was also used for four overs of his part-time offspin and in the absence of the axed Glenn Maxwell, the No.7 spin-bowling allrounder position is one that Head is testing out during this series. Head joined the Test squad ahead of the third Test in Colombo and did plenty of bowling in the nets, but he knows there is work ahead of him if he wants to be selected as a legitimate allrounder.Im pretty raw, still, with my bowling, Head said. Thats helped me coming over here that Ive learnt the style the Sri Lankans have been bowling their spin. I havent come in here with a certain way of going about things. Im pretty open-minded on my bowling.I just want to try and find the conditions as best as possible. If that can get me selected, the second string to my batting - Im there to make runs - but if I can come in and do a job with the ball thats a positive. Thats what Im heading towards, working on as much as possible, so that I can be a genuine option.I played last year at home as No.1 but probably wasnt ready for that role, but took it on and did an okay job. Leading into the season if I can do as much bowling as possible and make myself a genuine spinner - thats my goal.That will be one of the summers aims for Head, the South Australia captain, especially knowing that a Test tour of India is coming up in February-March. Australias selectors will be on the lookout for batsmen who can handle the spinning conditions for that series after the Test debacle in Sri Lanka, and although Head has played only one first-class game in Asia - he made 31 and 50 against India A in Chennai last year - he believes his game could suit those conditions.I played one four-day game in India when I was there last and I got two starts, Head said. I got a 50 and a 30 and I had a pretty good game-plan, pretty similar to how I played the other night. Im always going to be positive and aggressive. Its a long way away, that Test series. Its a big summer. Ive got to get runs on the board, thats the main issue with everyone in the summer. Custom Basketball Jerseys .

Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. CHICAGO -- To hear coach Joel Quenneville and captain Jonathan Toews talk about it, the Chicago Blackhawks are overcoming their early season jitters.But for a franchise thats won three Stanley Cups since 2010, they readily admit that theres still plenty of room for improvement.Chicago opens a three-game homestand Sunday night at the United Center against the Los Angeles Kings, who wrap up a two-game road trip in a building where they struggled in recent years.Nearly three weeks into the season, the Blackhawks penalty killing unit has been abysmal, allowing 15 goals in 30 short-handed situations to rank last in the league. The unit was third in the NHL as recently as the 2012-13 campaign, and finished in the top 20 each of the next two seasons before slumping to 22nd overall in 2015-16.I still think theres some areas we still got to feel that we can be better at look, and build on positives that weve achieved, Quenneville told the teams official website Saturday, one day after Chicago (4-3-1) rallied for a 3-2 overtime victory against New Jersey. As a group, lets take pride in working together, and lets make sure we get good pressure up ice, good pressure on entries, good clears, shooting lanes, all things that lead to having an effective ... penalty killing unit.Chicago killed off three of the Devils four power plays, and recent history against the Kings indicates that trend could continue. The Blackhawks have killed off 21 of Los Angeles 23 power-play opportunities while posting a 6-3-1 record over their last 10 matchups.We know this start to the year, theres been a few bumps in the road, but we know theres so much improvement and so much potential on this team. Were going to get better and better, said Toews, who assisted on Marian Hossas power-play goal late in regulation against the Devils that made it 2-2.Toews scored 28 goals in each of the last three seasons, but is still in search of his first in 2016-17. That will tie him with Ken Wharram for 10th on Chicagos all-time list with 251.I know its a long year and Ive had similar starts to this so Im not worried but definitely want to keep shooting the puck and having a nose for the net and know theyre going to start going in, Toews said.Chicago is 9-1-1 on home ice when Toews records a point against the Kings.Quenneville said Saturday that Corey Crawford will start in goal. He is 8-5-0 with a 2.83 goals-against average in 13 ccareer starts versus the Kings.ddddddddddddQuenneville also said he likes how Crawford has played recently, including a 30-save outing against the Devils.I thought hes been really good the last couple of games, they were his two best and (Friday night) was one of those games where the goalie was a big factor in us getting two points, Quenneville said.The Blackhawks were 1-1-1 against the Kings in 2015-16, with the season series capped by a 5-0 loss at home on March 14 with Crawford in net.Even though Los Angeles (4-4-0) skated away with that lopsided win, it was only the second in its last seven regular-season visits to the Windy City going back to February 2013.The Kings try to bounce back after their four-game winning streak was snapped with a 1-0 loss to St. Louis on Saturday.Peter Budaj, whos filled in admirably in goal while Jonathan Quick (lower body) and Jeff Zatkoff (groin) recover from injuries, allowed the lone goal early in the third period. He dropped to 4-1-0 with a 2.12 GAA and .906 save percentage in five starts this season.I think we worked hard, and its a tough building against a very strong team, so thats still not an excuse, Budaj told the Kings official website. ... Sometimes the bounces dont go your way, but you just have to regroup and get ready for tomorrow.However, Budaj hasnt faced Chicago since April 9, 2014, while playing for Montreal. Budaj is 0-3-1 in his last four matchups with Chicago, and 1-5-1 with a 3.73 GAA in seven games versus the Blackhawks since November 2008.As they prepare to play back-to-back games for the first time this season, backup goalie Jack Campbell could make his first NHL appearance in just over three years. Campbell, the 11th overall pick by Dallas in the 2010 NHL Draft, made his debut against Anaheim on Oct. 20, 2013, and gave up six goals on 47 shots in the Stars 6-3 loss.New captain Anze Kopitar led the Kings with four points (goal, three assists) in three games against Chicago in 2016-17. Hes tied for second on the team with six points, one behind Alec Martinez.Los Angeles may be without defenseman Brayden McNabb, who left Saturdays game with an upper body injury following a collision with Colton Parayko.
