Allrounder Jimmy Neesham has been ruled out of the second Test at least because of his rib injury that had kept him out of the Kanpur Test too, but thats not the end of New Zealands problems. The flight supposed to carry Mark Craigs replacement, offspinner Jeetan Patel, was cancelled, and he will now arrive only after midnight of Wednesday, which gives him a little over 24 hours to acclimatise before becoming New Zealands third spinning option. New Zealand will play three spinners unless the pitch is dramatically different from the one in Kanpur or the ones India have been using recently. The second Test starts on September 30 in Kolkata.Jimmy Neeshams injury will rule him out of at least this Test, coach Mike Hesson confirmed. That takes away options in terms of changing our balance a bit. But thats okay. We are not able to get any replacement in time who is a batting allrounder. Unfortunately, we have got a few other injuries at home as well, which makes that really challenging.Neesham, who suffered the rib injury batting in the nets in Delhi, is not the first man to be ruled out on this tour. Tim Southee injured his ankle even before the three-day warm-up game in Delhi. Craig suffered a side strain bowling in the second innings of the Kanpur Test. He came out to bat, but could not resist for long. Of the three New Zealand spinners, Craig was the closest to bowling the optimum pace on Indian pitches, and was the most accurate, especially in the first innings when New Zealand competed more on even terms.If the Kolkata pitch is similar, New Zealand will at least get a like-for-like replacement in Patel, no matter how little acclimatised to the conditions. He is flying from England where he was the leading wicket-taker in the County Championships, with 69 scalps for Warwickshire. New Zealand also have decisions to make in the batting department. Martin Guptill came here under pressure, and with scores of 21 and 0 in Kanpur and 15 and 0 in the warm-up in Delhi, he hasnt done much to free himself of that pressure.With Neesahm out, New Zealand have only one option left should they leave Guptill out, Henry Nicholls, the left-handed batsman who averages 27.62 from six Tests. He had scored a half-century in his last Test, against South Africa in Centurion last month. As New Zealand opted not to train on Wednesday, that decision is likely to be made only on Thursday, the day before the Test.We are restricted in some of our options, Hesson said. We have got Henry Nicholls in our group. Once again he has never played in India but played really nicely in South Africa in conditions that once again are distinctly different. He is a smart lad. He spent the last week trying to keep evolving his game plan. He is an option for us. And we will look at the conditions first before making a call. Redskins Jerseys Authentic China .

Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed for Manchester United on Friday, handing one of soccers most enigmatic players a late career move to the worlds richest league and a chance to help revive a fallen giant.The 34-year-old Swedish forward, who was a free agent after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired last month, joined the 20-time English champions on a one-year deal with an option for an additional year.It will be the well-traveled Ibrahimovics first spell playing in England, having also played for Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan.I compare it with the (Floyd) Mayweather-(Manny) Pacquiao fight, Ibrahimovic said of the 2015 world championship boxing bout. They said it would never happen, but it happened.I am super happy. My decision was the easiest part. The rest was a puzzle but the puzzle came together.Ibrahimovic has won league titles in four countries, including a hat trick of successes at Inter Milan where he worked briefly under new United manager Jose Mourinho.The only regret I have with Jose was that I had a short time with him. I had one season (2008-9), Ibrahimovic said. We won together, we enjoyed together and we had a great time together.I learned a lot and I got to know him ... he is a winner; I am a winner. We know both what we want: we want to win. Wherever we go, we win. And we will win.United is relying on their thirst for glory to power the club back up the Premier League standings and back into the Champions League.I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad, Mourinho said.Ibrahimovic will face competition for a starting place from a player almost half his age: 18-year-old striker Maarcus Rashford.ddddddddddddBut what Ibrahimovic guarantees United is a highly marketable personality, an attractive proposition as the club seeks to retain and expand its global array of sponsors to fund such luxury signings.What is less certain is the impact Ibrahimovic will have on the field as the club tries to halt the stagnation that set in under Louis van Gaal, who was fired despite winning the FA Cup in May.Ibrahimovic scored 38 goals in 31 French league games last season, as PSG eased to a fourth successive title by a remarkable 31 points. But the figures also point to a lack of domestic competition, and the striker is in the swansong of his career.Ibrahimovic will find it far tougher in the Premier League where he is joining a club that has not won the league since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and finished fifth last season. He will have to settle for playing in the second-tier Europa League next season after United failed to qualify for the Champions League.Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world and a player who always gives 100 percent, Mourinho said. He has won the most important league championships in the world of football.Now he has the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles.Ibrahimovic will be completely focused on United after retiring from international duty when Sweden was knocked out of the European Championship in the group stage last month.Now the hard work starts, Ibrahimovic said.
