Usman Khawaja expects to be dropped from Australias ODI team the moment Aaron Finch is fit after a finger fracture, despite his Man of the Match-winning turn against Ireland in the opening match of the South Africa tour.Clearly benefiting from conditions more familiar than those witnessed recently in Sri Lanka, Khawaja stroked his way to an unbeaten 82 in the company of David Warner and Steven Smith. While hopeful the innings meant a turnaround from his wretched times in Sri Lanka, Khawaja had no illusions about where he now stood in the limited-overs order of preference.You can never count your chickens in cricket or in life, you cant get too far ahead, he said. Im only here because Shaun Marsh hurt a finger and Finch was out with a broken finger as well, so I got an opportunity opening the batting. To get out there and be Man of the Match first game of the tour is a really nice feeling.Nice to get out there early on, I enjoy opening the batting in shorter form cricket, so it was good fun and with Davey at the other end going berserk it made life a lot easier.It was a tough time over there [in Sri Lanka], its been a tough couple of months. So from an individual point of view its nice to get out there and score some runs. We played some really good cricket the back half of Sri Lanka, but I still didnt contribute the way I wanted to contribute over there, so I had a tough time there, but glad I could contribute to a win first up here.The Australians were quickly into a groove against Ireland, and now face a South Africa side shorn of AB de Villiers due to injury. Khawaja said it was useful to pick up the winning habit instantly in South Africa, and acknowledged the hosts would have to be weakened by de Villiers enforced absence.We won and thats the main thing, Khawaja said. You want to win as much as you can and keep reaffirming that winning feeling. Winning is a habit, its a cliche but its true, the more you win, the more natural it becomes. Every game you play we want to win every time, whether its a dead rubber or a final, because thatll keep us in good stead for really close games.I dont know whos going to take over [ABs] role but theyve got big shoes to fill, hes one of the best batsmen in the world. Looking at it from that point of view its never nice to see a player not play, especially someone like AB because he brings a lot of people through the gates and thats what its all about in the end. But hes a big player for them, so they are weakened, but South Africa have a lot of depth.Giovani dos Santos Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach.

Javier Aquino Jersey . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No.RENTON, Wash. -- With Russell Wilsons mobility limited because of his sprained right ankle, the Seattle Seahawks were hoping to find balance on offense.Instead, Week 2 only brought more offensive frustration.Were not getting the same balance that we felt, about mixing the run game and the pass game where we can play off the running game and it hasnt been as obvious right off the bat. Thats an issue, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said on Monday.Seattle has just 15 points in two games after Sundays 9-3 loss to Los Angeles. Its only offensive touchdown came on the final drive of the opener against Miami.The run game is spotty at best, Seattles offensive line has struggled against two of the better defensive fronts in the NFL and while Wilsons been able to throw successfully, hes not much of a running threat because of his injured ankle suffered in the opener.And to top it off, injuries are starting to mount already. Along with Wilsons ankle sprain, wide receivers Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett were limited in Sundays game.Both underwent MRIs on Monday, but Carroll did not immediately have results, saying it would be later in the week before their status was determined.Lockett missed a significant chunk of the game with a sprained knee, but returned for the final drive and caught a 53-yard pass from Wilson. Baldwin did not miss any game time despite getting rolled up on from behind while blocking in the first half.Running back Thomas Rawls also suffered a contusion to the outside of his upper left leg and like the other two will be evaluated later in the week.I dont know really good information for you, like I said, but (Baldwin) seems to feel OK and there will be three or four guys that we got to check out as the days come off this week, Carroll said.Well see what happens Wednesday-Thursday. Give them a couple days to get bback and see what happens.ddddddddddddSluggish starts to the season offensively arent new during Carrolls time in Seattle. But its the combination of issues already surfacing that are causing concern.First are the struggles of the offensive line that appeared settled through the preseason before rookie right guard Germain Ifedi suffered an ankle injury just before the opener.JMarcus Webb has started the first two games in place of Ifedi, but did not play the position for Seattle through training camp.In their defense, the Seahawks have faced two of the better defensive lines in the NFL to start the season with Miami and Los Angeles, but the problems up front have amplified the issues in the run game.The Seahawks are averaging just 3.2 yards per carry, tied for 25th in the NFL. Both Rawls and Christine Michael have been unable to find a rhythm in the run game.And the inability to find sustained success on the ground is putting extra pressure on a hobbled Wilson and the passing game, especially on third down.The Seahawks are a combined 9 of 29 on third-down attempts and many of those -- especially against the Rams -- were third-and-long situations.Carroll said he expected Seattle to pick up where it left off last season with its third down success. The Seahawks were fourth in the NFL last season converting 46 percent of third-down opportunities.Thats staying on schedule. It goes back to the running game. Remember last year how much we talked about third down, and you saw third down shift and you saw everything change, Carroll said. Thats still the key, and converting and creating a new set of downs and all that is crucial.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
