Statistics can tell a story, but which story depends on which statistics. For example, how should Nathan Lyon expect to go against Pakistan at the Gabba this week? Badly, if you look at his Test record against Pakistan: three wickets at 140.66. Brilliantly, if you consider his Test record at the Gabba: 24 wickets at 23.95. It is the latter that gives Lyon confidence after he struggled against Pakistan in the UAE in 2014.They play spin well but hopefully I can generate a bit more bounce than I did in the UAE, Lyon said in Brisbane on Monday. Hopefully there will be a little bit more pace in the wicket as well so if there are any nicks they will carry and I will be able to hit the splice of the bats with a few bat-pads and a few caught I hope.Lyon is far from the only spinner who has enjoyed working at the Gabba: at no venue did Shane Warne take more Test wickets than the 68 he accumulated in Brisbane. And yet, every year Lyon is bemused - and amused - by the medias preoccupation with pace at the Gabba. Will Australia play four fast men? Lyon hasnt missed a Gabba Test, and hes not about to now.Ill tell you one thing, this is my sixth [Gabba] Test and every year you guys seem to write that, Lyon said. So Ill leave you guys to write that, that theres going to be four quicks and stuff. Im confident of playing, Ill put it that way.The Gabba pitches prepared by curator Kevin Mitchell Jr typically offer some movement off the surface and plenty of bounce - Lyon especially enjoys running his fingers up the back of the ball to get the ball to kick off the pitch. And he will do so this year with a certain monkey off his back, having picked up four wickets in the Adelaide Test against South Africa.Lyon may have more than 200 Test wickets but still was likely to be axed for the Adelaide Test had Steve OKeefe not suffered a calf niggle that rendered him unavailable for selection. When Lyon finally took his first wicket in the Adelaide Test, it ended a drought of 660 first-class deliveries without a wicket, stretching across Test and Sheffield Shield play.I felt like I was bowling well, Lyon said. There were a couple of chances that went down here and there but Im never going to sit here and blame anyone for missing a chance. We train hard enough and thats just the way cricket goes.I was actually happy with the way I was bowling and to be able to come out in Adelaide and contribute to a Test match win, thats my biggest thing. My biggest thing is bowling well in partnerships and going out there and taking 20 wickets as a bowling group.Marquis Flowers Jersey . JOHNS, N. Jeremy Sprinkle Jersey .

Kramers career night provided a spark for the Gators and included an error-free eight kills, a .615 clip and a team high eight blocks, including two solo stuffs. Florida posted a season high 16.0 blocks, compared to Florida States 8.5.After a solid start for the Gators in the first with a 14-10 advantage, the home team put together a monstrous 9-0 run to erase the UF lead and put the Orange and Blue at a five-point deficit, 19-14. The two squads traded points until a deadlock at 23-all, then a tie at 24-all. FSU had set point at 25-24 on a Gators error, but Holston put down one of her 14 kills for a 25-all tie. The Orange and Blue added the next two points on an Alhassan kill and a FSU attack error for the 27-25 first-set win.A 5-0 run got FSU out to a hot start in the second, but the Gators stormed back with an 8-1 run of their own, thanks in part to a six-point service run from freshman Allie Gregory. Following a 14-all tie, the Noles closed with an 11-5 run for the 1-1 tie heading to the break.Florida only seemed to improve as the match went on and Kramer kept bringing the heat both offensively and defensively for UF. While the third was a close back-and-forth battle, the Gators controlled most of the frame on the way to a 25-22 set win. The fourth was painted Orange and Blue. UF led 14-7 at one point, then made it an eight--point lead at 20-12.dddddddddddd FSU made it interesting with a run down the stretch, but the Gators closed it out for the 25-19.WORDS FROM WISEIt was actually a classic Florida, Florida State match in early season. I wont say it was the cleanest volleyball; it was an incredibly slow match. Tonight, where our offense just had a hard time getting on track, it was our defense. Our defense won this match for us. To out-block a great blocking team; it was really the emergence of Rachael Kramer. Shes got a chance to be very special.NOTABLES & TRENDS* The Gators added to their edge in the history of the series with the Seminoles, 39-19 overall, and now own a 13-9 record all-time in Tully Gym* UFs 16 blocks were its best this season.
