Mark Ramprakash has warned against expecting too much of Jos Buttler if he is selected for the third Test against India.While Ramprakash, the England batting coach, rated Buttler as one of the top five batsmen in the world in one-day cricket, he accepted that his lack of red-ball experience could compromise his chances of success.Buttler is expected to replace Ben Duckett in the England side for the Test starting in Mohali on Saturday. But, if he does play, it will be just his second first-class game since he was dropped from the Test team in October 2015. He hasnt scored a first-class half-century since May 2015 and a first-class century since June 2014.Rampakash accepts that the situation isnt ideal but, with Gary Ballance having been dropped having averaged six in the Bangladesh series and having only passed 15 once in seven Test innings, England are not flush with options. Buttler is highly regarded in the England set-up not just for his talent, but his leadership qualities; he captained the England ODI side in Bangladesh.But while Trevor Bayliss, the England coach, has expressed a hope that Buttler will take the same positive approach he uses in white-ball cricket to Test cricket, Ramprakash fears that conditions in international limited-overs cricket - in particular the nature of pitches and the ball - are not reflective of the challenges likely to face Buttler in Tests. Batsmen in Test cricket are also far more likely to face a sustained challenge from the short ball.To me, Jos Buttler is in the top five batsmen in the world in one-day cricket, Ramprakash said. And that almost creates a problem with the amount of first-class cricket he can play. So, if Jos gets the nod we need to be understanding of that. He clearly has so much ability but through lack of opportunity its been hard for him to develop and I hope that people realise that and dont set expectations too high because thats the situation hes in and we have to live with that.In the white-ball game youre playing on flat wickets against a ball that doesnt move. So you can be very instinctive; you can see it early and go for your shots. Weve seen James Vince and Alex Hales in one-day cricket, but when its come to the red ball in England its moved around and theyve found it challenging and Jos would be similar to that.To help Buttler prepare, Ramprakash has been setting him challenges in the nets, but he admits it is no substitute for playing in matches.Weve tried to set little scenarios for him every now and then, Ramprakash said. So at Rajkot there was a 10-over challenge in the nets with Jake Ball and Gareth Batty. Ball would bowl an over, then Batty and we would try to set fields, so he could have more of a match feel to practice rather than just netting. Within that 60-ball challenge Jos could try to put himself into the mindset of playing in a Test match.Hes thrown himself into his physical training. Everything hes done has been like an elite athlete. His practice in the nets, his work on his wicket-keeping: hes been a real leader in the group and I cant speak highly enough of his attitude.Ramprakash was well versed in Buttlers record: only once past 30 in his last 12 England innings, a record stretching back to the New Zealand Test at Headingley last year, and only one first-class game for Lancashire last season. He was open about the issues that brings.Its not ideal. As much as we can net and do middle situations in practice, he hasnt been tested in a match. And thats where I think that if Jos gets the nod, we have to be understanding of that.England also face a challenge of where to bat Buttler should he be selected. Duckett was coming in at No. 4, but England may be reluctant to expose Buttler that high up the order. The other options are Ben Stokes, who has emerged as one of Englands most assured batsmen, Jonny Bairstow, who has scored more Test runs than anyone in the world this year, and Moeen Ali, who has batted everywhere but No. 3 and No. 4 in the top nine.None of the options are perfect. All three of Stokes, Bairstow and Moeen already have a heavy workload, mentally as much as physically, and England will be keen not to ask too much of them. Stokes notably struggled with cramp in Rajkot.Theres no easy answer to that, Ramprakash conceded. Its a really good question. Youve players who have just made Test hundreds, like Mo and Stokesy, so do you leave them where they are because you want no disruption? Stokes would be a candidate, yes, but his physical workload throughout the Tests has given him a bit of an issue hasnt it?Ultimately though, Ramprakash believes that picking another right-hander in Buttler may prove advantageous in conditions in which left-handers have it tough.As the game wears on in this part of the world, you get more rough outside the left-handers off stump, Ramprakash said. So left-handers have it tough both ways. The offspinners are at them with the DRS, but as the game goes on youve got a lot of rough for the left-arm spinner to chuck the ball in as well and that makes it quite tough.Gary Ballance is a fine player and I think well see him again in an England shirt. Hes a batsman who if he gets in he doesnt give it away, but obviously hes found life tough and Bangladesh was obviously very tough. I think tactically in this part of the world if another right-hander comes in that may be a slight advantage.The England squad took the day off on Wednesday, but return to the nets on Thursday morning when they will gain their first look at the Mohali surface. With Buttler set to replace Duckett, it also seems highly likely that Chris Woakes will replace the injured Stuart Broad.Meanwhile, the England camp have made it clear they want no part in allegations of ball tampering made against Virat Kohli by one British newspaper.Fake Jerseys Website .

Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour. "I have been having this neck ache thats been affecting my golf recently," Oyama said.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Although Jered Weaver is pitching with a fraction of his early-career velocity, the veteran right-hander still gets victories with craft and guile.And he never lost his curious mastery over the Chicago White Sox.Albert Pujols hit a pair of two-run homers, Weaver pitched seven strong innings and the Los Angeles Angels completed an emphatic three-game sweep of the White Sox with an 8-1 victory Sunday.After their worst first half since 1992, the injury-plagued Halos (40-52) returned from the All-Star break by outscoring Chicago 16-1. Los Angeles also escaped sole possession of last place in the AL West, pulling even with Oakland.Our motto is just to go out there and have some fun, Weaver said. Obviously were not in the position wed like to be, but thats not going to deter from going out there and competing. A sweep against a team like this is a step in the right direction.During the Angels first series sweep since mid-May, Hector Santiago, Matt Shoemaker and Weaver (8-7) became the first consecutive Los Angeles starters to go seven innings since July 2015.With his fastball showing a bit more speed than usual after 10 days off, Weaver beat the White Sox for the eighth time in his last eight starts against them since 2011, giving up just six hits.Im still trying to get stronger, but my body is feeling a lot better, Weaver said. Its not fun going out there and having to trick people and throw pitches that you wouldnt necessarily (want to) throw in certain counts. To have a little more of a fastball and being able to locate it keeps guys off your secondary pitches a little bit more.Pujols connected in the first and fourth innings of his 53rd multi-homer game. He has 577 career homers as he pursues Mark McGwire (583) for 10th place on baseballs career list.Obviously we didnt have a great first half, but thats the way you want to start the second half, Pujols said.Five Angels drove in a run while lighting up Jacob Turner (0-1) over the first five innings. He yielded seven hits and eight runs in his debut for the White Sox, who have lost four straight.Chicago never threatened to do much against Weaver, who repeatedly ttricked overeager hitters into harmless popups.dddddddddddd.You sit there and you marvel at the fact that its not going very hard, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Speed isnt anything to alarm you about, but he almost throws it under that, anything thats a comfortable hitting speed. He takes a little off. Big curveball. Nothing seems to be in the middle of the plate.Omar Narvaez got his first big-league hit in his first at-bat, and he scored Chicagos first run since July 9 on Adam Eatons double moments later in the third inning. The run ended a 34-inning scoreless streak for the White Sox, who have lost six of eight.We need to score runs, Ventura said. Scoring one in a series is not going to do it for us.GOT HIS NUMBERPujols improved to 4 for 4 with three homers and six RBI in his career against Turner, who hadnt pitched in the big leagues since 2014. He got promoted from Triple-A Charlotte for a spot start because Ventura decided to give an extra day of rest to All-Star Game starter Chris Sale.BIG BLASTSPujols opened the scoring with a 431-foot homer, his first since July 2. His second homer drove in Mike Trout, who snapped his longest hitless streak of the season (0 for 10) with a double off the wall moments earlier.FIRST TASTEAlong with Narvaez, White Sox right-hander Carson Fulmer also made his big-league debut, tossing two innings of one-hit relief. The 22-year-old Fulmer, the eighth overall pick in the 2015 draft, was called up from Double-A Birmingham before the series. It was impressive, Ventura said.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: 3B Matt Davidson (broken foot) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Turner on the roster.Angels: Geovany Soto was scratched before the game with discomfort in his left knee.UP NEXTWhite Sox: Sale (14-3, 3.38 ERA) goes after his sixth victory in seven starts when Chicago begins a three-game series in Seattle.Angels: Nick Tropeano (3-2, 3.12 ERA) will make his third start since returning to the rotation in early July when Los Angeles hosts Texas.
