Hausaufgabenhilfe » monopolising an opening partnership of 73 with Sam Curt

MINNEAPOLIS -- Tickets to see the Minnesota Vikings in their new home this season have been expensive. On Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts make their first visit to U.S. Bank Stadium, ticket buyers will be treated to a bunch of desperate playoff scenarios for free.Both the Vikings (7-6) and the Colts (6-7) are clinging to hopes that they will be playing after Jan. 1, and both are going to need a win on Sunday -- and plenty of help -- to get it done.Its also billed as a meeting between two No. 1 overall NFL draft picks with Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (the top pick in 2010) facing Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (the top pick in 2012).The injury bug seems determined to take a bit of the shine off that showdown. Luck missed practice on Wednesday with a sore shoulder and elbow on his throwing arm -- leftover ailments from the Colts loss to the Houston Texans last weekend in which he was sacked just once but hit on more than a dozen occasions.I didnt feel as good after that game as you would like, Luck said Wednesday. December football. Nobody feels like they want to at this point. You just make sure you are ready to go on Sunday. However, Luck was not listed on the injury report Friday, so he will definitely play.Bradford will also be ready to go on Sunday and practiced Wednesday but was limited by a sore shoulder. However, he also was not on Fridays injury report. However, for the Vikings, Wednesday was more about one player that was back at practice and less about those that are missing.Star running back Adrian Peterson, who has been out with a knee injury since the third quarter of Minnesotas Week 2 win over Green Bay, practiced with the team and offered an immediate emotional lift.Then, in an interview with Dash radio on Friday afternoon, Peterson insisted he would play against the Colts.Im gonna give you the inside (scoop), Peterson told interviewer DJ Skee. Im gonna go ahead and go this week. Im getting back out there this week.The Vikings did not activate Peterson Friday, but they can do that Saturday. Coach Mike Zimmer said earlier Friday that no decision had been made.It was great to see him out here in the walk-through today, Bradford said after Peterson returned to practice. I think hes just one of those guys, he has been a leader on this team. Obviously, hes one of the best players in this league, and he has been for quite some time. So I think just having him back out at practice in the huddle, I think its a definite lift to our guys.The possible re-emergence of Minnesotas running game could hardly come at a better time for the Vikings, who won in Jacksonville last weekend despite getting stuffed on the goal line twice and ending up with zero points in two trips to the 1-yard line.The defensive-minded Zimmer said hes just as focused on stopping the Colts running game and speed at receiver.They have the eighth-best rusher in NFL history. So thats kind of a challenge. Frank Gore is a terrific back, Zimmer said. Theyve got tremendous skill, speed with (Donte) Moncrief and (T.Y.) Hilton obviously. Theyve got great speed.Theyve got two decent tight ends. Ones a second-leading receiver (Jack Doyle) and defensively the 3-4 stuff. Weve been in a little bit of a 4-3 mode the last couple of weeks. So weve got to get back to the 3-4 and the things we do there and changing some of that up.However, Moncrief was declared out Friday becasue of a hamstring injury.Sitting third in the AFC South behind Houston and Tennessee, Indianapolis is in must-win mode and could be eliminated Sunday if it loses and the Texans and Titans both win. The Colts have won their last three road games but know a unique challenge awaits inside Minnesotas new stadium, which is notoriously noisy.Weve got to go on the road in a hostile environment, in a new venue, Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said. We understand the elements and the noise and all that other stuff that we have to deal with, that our offense has to deal with. Were trying to do the best we can to replicate that and put them under as much duress as we can.The Vikings, who started 5-0 and have gone just 2-6 since then, cannot be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday but would face long, long odds with a loss. They close the season with divisional games at Green Bay on Christmas Eve and at home against Chicago on New Years Day. Chris Taylor Dodgers Jersey .

New Zealand women 223 for 5 (Satterthwaite 123, Sadia Yousuf 3-49) beat Pakistan women 220 (Zafar 50, Javeria Khan 50, Newton 5-31, Kerr 4-42)Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Amy Satterthwaite led New Zealand women - as captain, and with the bat - to a win in the last match of the ODI series against Pakistan in Nelson, helping them complete a 5-0 series sweep.Satterthwaite became the first woman to score three centuries in consecutive innings in ODIs. Opening in place of regular captain Suzie Bates, who sat out of the game, Satterthwaite struck 18 fours in her 99-ball 123 after Pakistan had won the toss and set New Zealand 221 to win. New Zealand chased it down in the 39th over.Earlier, medium-pacer Thamsyn Newton and 16-year-old legspinner Amelia Kerr both picked up career-best figures - Newton took 5 for 31, Kerr took 4 for 42 - to subdue Pakistan after they had got off to a strong start. Ayesha Zafar (50), Javeria Khan (50) and Nahida Khan (31), the top three in the order, were responsible for that. But Newton and Kerr struck regularly as Pakistan went from 157 for 2 to to being bowled out for 220 in the 50th over.New Zealands chase was powered by Satterthwaite, who scored most more than half the runs requirred, having begun by monopolising an opening partnership of 73 with Sam Curtis (9) that took only 9.dddddddddddd2 overs. She then put on 53 for the fourth wicket with Katie Perkins - the second-highest scorer, with her 23 - to bring New Zealand within 35 runs of the target before Sadia Yousuf (3-49) broke the stand. The left-arm spinner dismissed Satterthwaite shortly after, but New Zealand had no trouble chasing the target down.When asked about what the record means to her, Satterthwaite said she was happy, but New Zealands performance as a team had impressed her more, particularly in the absence of some stalwarts.Its always nice to achieve something like that, but at the end of the day, you just want to put your best performances to contribute to a team win, Satterthwaite said. It was great for our team to get a win without having Suzie (Bates) and Rachel (Priest). Theyre important players for us and to perform like that without them was great.This was both teams last ICC Womens Championship fixture, and the win sealed third spot for New Zealand. Pakistan finished in seventh place. ' ' '
