and a few young fast bowlers coming out, Jason [Holder], everybody. You need that second team thats up to the standard to push people so that they continue to produce. The great West Indies team had that, the great Australia team had that, so thats what we need here.Darren Bravo, West Indies best bat

In 2015, actress and director Eva Longoria debuted Versus, a short film series that explored moments of inspiration in the world of sports. The compelling series highlighted female NBA referee Violet Palmer, figure skater Surya Bonaly and her one-bladed back flip, the story of Jennifer Bricker, a gymnast born without legs who later found out her hero, Dominique Moceanu, was her biological sister, and other inspiring stories.On Tuesday, Longorias second season debuts with Son of South Sudan, a film about Manute Bols work in his war-torn country.Longoria spoke with espnW about the second season, what she has learned from working on the short films and why she wanted to direct Revolution: A History of the Sports Bra,, which will debut later this month. Oh, the die-hard Spurs fan even shared her thoughts on the NBA Finals.espnW: How important was it for you as an actress to also step behind the camera?Eva Longoria: I started out as a director and fell into acting. I felt like my potential wasnt being fully used. I didnt want to sit back and wait for those stories to be told.espnW: The film you direct this season is called Revolution: A History of the Sports Bra, why this specific narrative? Longoria: I wanted to do something that doesnt focus on athletes and statistics but focuses on societal changes that people made because of an evolution that happens within the sport whether its sexism, racism or discrimination of some sort. So [ESPN] let me go at it.espnW: This isnt your first film. What have you learned while working on the series? Longoria: Every film Im surprised with something. We have this amazing film called Lady Goal and its about this Iranian team captain of the womens soccer team and how shes considered the David Beckham of Iran. And they made it to compete outside of Iran and her husband did not give her permission to go. Because in Iran you need the husbands permission to leave the country. So she wrote to the government and said she wants to play for her country, I wanted to represent my country, Im doing this for my country yet my country doesnt allow me to compete because my husband says so. Its fascinating because sometimes we forget about the liberties we have in our daily lives when you hear those stories.espnW: OK, we all know you love the Spurs, but did you watch the NBA championship?Longoria: I did watch the finals! It was heartbreaking and amazing because someone has to lose. I was conflicted. Though, it was good to see LeBron bring [the trophy] to his hometown.Vapormax Plus Saldi .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry.

Nike Vapormax Ingrosso . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night.Phil Simmons, the West Indies head coach, has expressed concern over the up-and-down nature of the teams performances over the course of the Test series against India, and believes the inconsistency may have something to do with the quality gap between Test cricket and the regions domestic cricket.I think the series was a little bit too up-and-down, Simmons said. We played well across maybe two hours, three hours sometimes, and the next two hours we would be down. And I think that was, for me, the major disappointment. Weve shown that we can do things but not consistently enough. We batted well in Jamaica, but we went and did the same things we did in the first Test [again] in the third Test. Its disappointing that we werent consistent enough.Simmons said some of the West Indies batsmen might need to tighten up their techniques to be more consistent at Test level, but said the process should be happening in domestic cricket.I think in some cases you have to adjust techniques, which is a sad thing because its something that we should be doing at a level below, Simmons said. I think the same thing with mentality because when we come up here its a lot harder to get runs and get wickets. I think at our domestic level its a lot easier, that patience and that time at the crease and things, if we bat two sessions in a domestic game a lot of the guys playing here would have a hundred or more. But if you bat two sessions here, it might be 60 or 70, so the patience at the domestic level is not tested as much as up here.Calling for a unified approach to lifting the standard of cricket, Simmons wanted the coaching staff of the Test team to meet the coaches of the domestic teams regularly.Theres a lot of things that I have asked for, and its not coming to fruition, he said. Ive asked for coaches to meet twice, maybe three times a year, and discuss cricket and so on. We need to make sure that whatever were doing upstairs is going down to everybody.You and me might be two coaches and might coach differently but the same objective we have to have. If we dont have the same objective, then we spin it up in muddles. I think thats lacking. Its quite a few things to be fixed, but at the end of the day the quality of cricket that is downstairs is not good enough for the maturity of the players to be quicker.Other measures, he said, would include improving the facilities all around the region.Things like our pitches and our practice facilities need to be better, a lot better, in order to produce players, not just fast bowlers as were lacking now, but batsmen, because the better the pitches the better batsmen show themselves. Little things like that we need to put in place. The gap between [Test cricket] and our cricket needs to be filled, whether it can be done with an academy, which we dont have right now, A-team cricket, which we have one [series] a year, we should have two to three a year. Something has to be done to fill that gap, you know? Were missing a few things.Only 22 overs of play were possible over the five days of the fourth Test at Queens Park Oval, and there was no play on the last four days despite the ground receiving plenty of sunshine in that time. Simmons said he could not put his finger on why the outfield failed to dry sufficiently to allow play.Extremely surprised, because, as far as I know, in my years here, this has never been a ground like that, he said. I dont know what is the position is over on the other side [the ground officials], but it was really bad and after two days of sun, and when I saw it yesterday morning, I couldnt believe how bad it was. I dont know what thhe position is there and what caused that, but Im surprised and I never expected that here.ddddddddddddest Indies next Test assignment is a tour of the UAE to play Pakistan, who were recently crowned the No. 1 Test team in the world. Simmons said it was important for the Test players to get some rest after the series against India, but hoped they would have adequate preparation ahead of the Tests in the UAE.I dont know about [whether we need an] extended camp because you just played four Test matches, well three-and-a-quarter Test matches, back-to-back, and we underestimate the power of rest after Test matches, but we also have two T20s [against India in Florida]. We also have a one-day squad and T20 squad for the first part of the Pakistan series.So from the point of view of being together, were trying to get the Test team to the UAE early enough, so that we can have enough practice time before the first two-day game. And this is something that I keep trying to get when we go on tour because I think its harder on tour. If we get two, sometimes three practice games before the first Test match, then that would be ideal.Some places we cant get it, but we have to keep trying to get that because we see that we improve [with warm-up games]. On the other side, its a case of us trying not to slack off now as players and coaches, and make sure that players continue to do what weve been doing over the last two weeks, with their technique and temperament and everything like that.One positive for West Indies from the Tests against India was the promise shown by some of the younger batsmen, notably Roston Chase and Shane Dowrich. When asked where that left the Test career of Marlon Samuels, who has averaged 25.80 since the start of 2013, Simmons hoped the performances of the younger players would push established players to perform.[Samuels] Test career still stands there, Simmons said. [Younger players] are pushing him which is nice because when you have people pushing you from outside, you either get pushed out or you lift your game. So, I think its a case where you have youngsters pushing him now, and thats good for the team.Same thing with Shannon [Gabriel] and a few young fast bowlers coming out, Jason [Holder], everybody. You need that second team thats up to the standard to push people so that they continue to produce. The great West Indies team had that, the great Australia team had that, so thats what we need here.Darren Bravo, West Indies best batsman, had a poor series, with only one half-century in seven innings, and ended the series with his Test average dipping below 40. Simmons backed Bravo to come out of his lean patch, and said his career record reflected the state of the team when he came into it, without too many world-class seniors to share their experience with him.We talk about Darren Bravo, and we talk about him a lot because we see his potential and where hes supposed to be right now. But you look back at things and you look at all the people around his age and what theyve come through, the help that theyve had in the team when they came in...We talk about Virat [Kohli]. When Virat came in, look at the players around him. Thats where you get that little bit of experience, little bit of help from. Bravos had to turn up and be the senior player and I think sometimes that affects people. But no doubt about it, hes working extremely hard on trying to get his game together and trying to score runs, just as he did when he came into the team. ' ' '
