Fifteen wickets fell on day two at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, where Hyderabad bowled Himachal Pradesh out for 36, the fourth-lowest total in the Ranji Trophy since 2000. None of Himachals batsmen got into double figures as seamers M Ravi Kiran and Chama Milind cut through the top order before legspinner Akash Bhandari snared four wickets to demolish the tail. Himachal, on 8 for 2 overnight, were bowled out in 25 overs.Hyderabad got into the lead with only a wicket down, thanks to a 38-run second-wicket partnership between Akshath Reddy and B Anirudh, but Rishi Dhawan ensured they didnt run away with the game. The allrounder grabbed six wickets as Hyderabad ended the day seven down for 99, only 63 ahead. Anirudh was still at the crease at stumps, on 44 off 111 balls, having hit seven fours.Players from both sides agreed that the pitch was difficult to bat on, but suggested the low totals were also down to a lack of application from the batsmen.This is one of the most-challenging surfaces Ive played on this season, said Robin Bist, the Himachal middle-order batsman who was lbw to Ravi Kiran for a duck. Yes, it was tough, but weve played on tougher surfaces in the past, so in that sense this was nowhere near being dangerous.There was inconsistent bounce. One ball would take off, others would keep low. I think most of the batsmen, including myself, were influenced by that. Maybe thats why we had as many as nine dismissals [across both innings] either bowled or lbw. There was definite help for the bowlers; all they needed to do was to be accurate.Paras Dogra, Himachals No. 4, called it a clear case of batsmen from both sides lacking application.Run scoring was difficult, but not to the extent scorecard suggests, he said. One of their batsmen [Anirudh] showed what patience and application can give you on this wicket. Lot of the shots were cross-batted, which increases the chance of lbw on any surface. One thing is for sure, this is certainly a result-oriented game. Its the kind of wicket where you cant switch off. I think the scorecard is just an exaggeration.Hyderabad captain S Badrinath was out for a two-ball duck, bowled by Dhawan. He agreed with Dogras assessment of the conditions.You just cant blame the pitch, saying it was a poor wicket, he said. [The fall of wickets] was down to a combination of both the pitch being difficult and poor technique from the batsmen. The wicket wasnt the easiest to bat [on], but there were some poor decisions and choice of shots. It was one wicket where you had to apply yourself. You dont have to be extremely skilled on this wicket; just have to be patient and play straight.Unfortunately, no batsman from our side apart from Anirudh applied. He played 111 balls, its not about the [44] runs. He showed if you can apply you can definitely bat. Anirudh looked to play straight and he got all his runs when he played straight. He was willing to be patient, and let the ball go. His choice of shots were good. He didnt go for the big, booming cover drive, and didnt play outside the line. Gabriel Landeskog Jersey . Sgt.

The 52-year-old starts his first camp as head coach of the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday without any previous experience in the 12-man game. Then again, his predecessor Marc Trestman had never coached in the CFL and had never been a head coach at the pro level when he took over in 2008. That didnt stop him from winning two Grey Cups. "Its football in the States and its football here," Hawkins says. "But its a whole different brand of football." General manager Jim Popp and owner Bob Wetenhall took a risk when they opted for Hawkins, who spent the last two seasons as a college football analyst at ESPN after a long career as a head coach at the university level in the United States. The folksy, enthusiastic Hawkins is the polar opposite of the soft-spoken, cerebral Trestman, who left in February to become head coach of the NFLs Chicago Bears. His coaching style promises to be a big change as well. While Trestman also co-ordinated the offence and left the defence and special teams to others, Popp likens Hawkins to Don Matthews, who coached the Alouettes from 2002 to 2006, winning one Cup. Matthews tended to leave the nuts and bolts to his co-ordinators and assistants while overseeing the operation from above. "Marc was a quiet guy, very reserved," said Popp. "Dans very energetic. "He has that rah-rah college side to him." Hawkins last coaching experience was not a resounding success. His record in five seasons at the University of Colorado, where he reportedly earned more than US$1 million per season, was 19-39. Before that, however, he was 53-11 at Boise State and his career record is a solid 112-61-1. He looks to be supported by a strong, almost completely new coaching staff, which includes experienced Doug Berry as senior adviser to the head coach. There are solid co-ordinators with Mike Miller on offence and Noel Thorpe on defence. A major change is they now have one man looking after special teams, co-ordinator Ray Rychelski. The kicking game had some awful moments last season, when special teams was one of several responsibilities for the departed Andy Bischoff. Thorpe was hired even before Hawkins, and Popp hopes he sticks around. The team had changed defensive co-ordinators in each of the previous four years. Popp said each had his own style, and wanted player changes to fit their game plan, causing confusion and a lot of turnover in personnel. Defensive players were prominent on the teams off-season shopping list, including linebacker Ejiro Kuale and cornerbacks Geoff Tisdale and Byron Parker. On offence, they picked up Canadian running back Jerome Messam, veteran slotback Arland Bruce and quarterback Quinton Portter, giving 40-year-old Anthony Calvillo an experienced backup.dddddddddddd. The camp at Bishops University in Sherbrooke, Que., will also be spiced up by the presence of some former NFL talent, including long-time Indianapolis Colts running back Domenic Rhodes, as well as receivers David Clowny and Wallace Wright. The Alouettes already have an impressive receiving corps with Jamel Richardson, S.J. Green and Brandon London. Popp said hes anxious to see how his two first-round draft picks work out, linebacker Mike Edem and running back Steven Lumbala, selected third and fifth overall respectively from the Calgary Dinos. "Edems really made an impression," he said. He also has high hopes that Kuale will fit well into Thorpes defence. "I like aggressive, physical players and he brings that to the table," said Popp. The Alouettes had nightmares at running back in 2012 after starter Brandon Whitakers season ended in midseason with a knee injury. Vic Anderson filled in nicely until he got hurt, then Chris Jennings took over. Whitaker re-signed with the Alouettes on Thursday. Another running back is Noel Devine, a prime candidate to take over kick returning duties from the released Trent Guy. "Can he have a breakout year?" Popp asked about the speedy Devine. Hes also anxious to see how veteran defensive end John Bowman does with Thorpe going back to a four-man line after the teamed used a 3-4 setup last season. "Well have a guy like Bowman in a system that benefits him more," said Popp. "Well see if he has his best year." Of course, the Alouettes fortunes sit mainly on Calvillos shoulders. The CFLs all-time passing leader will turn 41 on Aug. 23. He is coming off surgery on a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, and wont take as many snaps as usual in camp. Thats why it was important to sign Porter from Hamilton. Last years back-up Adrian McPherson is gone, while third-stringer Josh Neiswander is back. One area that never seems to change in Montreal is a solid, experienced offensive line of centre Luc Brodeur-Jourdain between guards Scott Flory and Andrew Woodruff and tackles Josh Bourke and Jeff Perrett. The Alouettes did not make it to the Grey Cup game the past two seasons despite posting winning regular season records. They were 11-7 in 2012, but were beaten at home by eventual champion Toronto in the East Division final. "We all felt we were good enough to win those games," said Popp. "We had a lot of injuries, but we also turned the ball over four times in one half and thats not how you get there. "Now coach Trestman is gone and theyll have the embrace Dan, but they still know theyre a special team with a chance to win a championship."
