Ravi Bopara has not given up hope of forcing his way back into Englands plans despite missing out on selection for the ICC World T20. All-rounder Bopara believes Eoin Morgans men will be successful at the tournament under the guidance of head coach Trevor Bayliss, who he worked with during a stint in the Big Bash League for the Sydney Sixers.England have a very good chance, said Bopara, currently leading run-scorer in the Pakistan Super League, where he is representing Karachi Kings. The conditions will suit our batsmen, as despite it being in India, I dont think youll get too much turn, especially once the floodlights come on.As the pitches get a bit more tired they may turn a bit more, but certainly at the start of the tournament, England should be able to start guns-a-blazing, and be in a good space.I cant be 100 per cent sure, but I think Bayliss has brought a really relaxed attitude to the group. I know that while I worked with him in the BBL, he was really chilled. Were just a few weeks away from the start of the ICC World Twenty20 Its nice to have that, especially on the international stage where there is enough stress already, having someone there who is smiling and takes pressure off is helpful.In the recent past we havent really had that. Previously it has been about always being switched on, and thats not possible. You cant take it too seriously at times, as often when you do, thats when you suddenly find it becomes hard work.Id love to be in the squad. I think I have justified myself as a good T20 cricketer in England in the recent past and feel I have done enough to warrant a place.Its not going to be easy to get back in but Im not giving up though. I have plenty of years left in me, Im only 30 years old. Nasser Hussain and Nick Knight pick their all-time World T20 XI. Bopara hopes he might be able to add some experience to Englands youthful-looking squad at some point, having viewed that as one of the key factors in Englands World T20 win in 2010, a tournament he was a part of.He said: You look at most successful sides in the past, its usually experience that wins you games, and tournaments.We had a lot of players in good form in 2010, at the peak of their careers some of them, and it helped see us through some tough situations. It was a strong side. It felt different to other tournaments Ive been involved in. In the past weve been guilty of picking players who were still a bit too young or inexperienced going into big competitions.You need guys who know already what theyre doing day in, day out. Thats what we had in that squad, the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Graeme Swann, Ryan Sidebottom - a very experienced campaigner - these are the guys who won the tournament for us. Ravi Bopara won the World Twenty20 title with England in 2010 Its key for our young cricketers to get as much exposure to T20 cricket all around the world to gain that experience, and thats whats starting to happen in the BBL and IPL.You get an understanding of high-pressure, tournament cricket, and how it works.

Dion Lewis injury setback isnt only frustrating news for his fantasy owners in leagues that drafted early; its also aggravating in that it takes the New England Patriots backfield a step backwards in terms of role certainty from week to week.Lewis, only nine months and four days removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, will undergo a second surgery on the knee, a cleanup procedure that will apparently afford him a chance to return before the 2016 season concludes.In all likelihood, Lewis will land on the reserve/PUP list, which requires a minimum six games absence. The Boston Herald, meanwhile, reports that Lewis will miss 8-10 weeks, which would put his timetable for recovery at around Weeks 7-9. As the Patriots have a Week 9 bye, its likely that Lewis wont be a consideration until the Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks, giving him a chance at an eight-game season, but then the difficulty in a typical players recovery from an ACL tear needs to be considered. In standard leagues, its impossible to formulate a case to draft Lewis, especially not with bench spots precious during the Weeks 3-11 bye period.In Lewis absence, the fallout might seem somewhat obvious: LeGarrette Blount, who at times during the offseason was hinted to not even be guaranteed a roster spot, now appears to be the teams primary back on first and second downs; James White, who caught 40 passes in 10 games (playoffs included) after Lewis Week 9 injury last season and was the subject of much buzz during the 2014 preseason, now steps up as the teams passing-down back.The problem, however, is that each player presents inherent flaws, and for those drafting in close pproximity to such value-changing news, the danger is in overreacting.dddddddddddd. Blount, for example, is a mere 9-for-20 in converting goal-line runs (within 1 yard of the goal line) during his career, his 45 percent conversion rate well beneath the 54 percent league average during that time span. And he scored a whopping (and league-leading) 40 of his 110 fantasy points with the Patriots up by at least two touchdowns on the scoreboard in 2015, giving him more of a look of finisher than workhorse.White, meanwhile, is an inferior talent to Lewis who had a largely up-and-down performance after stepping into that role in 2015.Thats why, while both Blount and White moved up my rankings following the Lewis news, the name that might warrant the closest attention these next two weeks is Tyler Gaffney, who in two preseason games has 20 carries for 95 and one touchdown. Gaffney, like White, possesses more limited skill than the men ahead of him on the depth chart, but without a clear-cut leading man on the roster, hes certainly capable of carving out a respectable role. After all, it was only two seasons ago that the Patriots gave five different running backs starts, had four different running backs post a 15-point fantasy game and failed to have a single back exceed 101 fantasy points for the season.With the news, Blount is now my No. 33 running back, tops among Patriots backs but still 12 spots behind where I initially had Lewis (21st). White, meanwhile, has moved up to 48th, though hed earn a ranking closer to Blounts in PPR formats. ' ' '
