New Zealand coach David Kidwell is adamant his team are on an upward curve despite losing 14-8 to Australia in their second Four Nations rugby league Test in Coventry.Both sides scored two tries and New Zealand - who were outplayed for much of the first half - came close to a third in the dying moments through halfback Shaun Johnson which could have forced a draw.Kidwell says the performance was better overall than the opening 17-16 win over England and certainly superior to the 26-6 loss to the Kangaroos in Perth a month ago.However, he says they are capable of better.I think were definitely building and improving, he said.We improved from Perth to the England Test. I think we improved again but its about taking your opportunities.At times we didnt do that but towards the end there we started playing some football that we know we can play.Kidwell said some of New Zealands first-up contact wasnt strong enough, letting Australia rumble out of their half too easily early in the game.Some of their ruck defence was also loose but Kidwell praised their ability to scramble when the Kangaroos made half-breaks.With the Kiwis down 10-0 at the break, centre Solomone Kata barged over before Johnson brilliantly set up a try to winger Jordan Rapana with three minutes remaining.Johnson crossed himself with 4sec on the clock but was held up over the tryline by fullback Darius Boyd.It was a third loss to the Kangaroos this year but Kidwells men may well get a fourth shot in the Four Nations final in Liverpool on November 20.If, as expected, they beat winless Scotland in Workington on Friday, they will qualify for the final unless England upset Australia in London two days later.Were not going to talk about any potential final, Kidwell said.Scotland are a very good side and you cant take anyone lightly at this tournament. Joe Dumars Jersey . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. Ben Wallace Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.pistonsteamproshop.com/Cheap-Caron-Butler-Pistons-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Isiah Thomas Jersey .S. Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first ..................... with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. Henry Ellenson Jersey . Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. LONDON -- The fact that Serena Williams has a powerful serve was underlined at Wimbledon, as she recorded the fastest opening shot (124 mph) at the tournament on her way to her 22nd Grand Slam title.But on at least five other indices including women who played at least three Wimbledon singles matches, Williams didnt even feature in the top five.So, who ran the farthest, hit the fastest groundstrokes and put the most spin on the ball?Court coverageThe distance run per match could produce a list of the hardest-working players ... or the players who were given the runaround the most by their opponents. Either way, these five women -- four of whom ran an average of more than a mile each time -- certainly covered some ground.1. Agnieszka Radwanska: 1,988 metres2. Carla Suarez Navarro: 1,712m3. Ekaterina Makarova: 1,666m4. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 1,637m5. Venus Williams: 1,591mFastest forehandsThe only speeds which are usually displayed on court at Wimbledon are for serves and the fastest of the womens top 120 mph. However, second serves usually come in a lot slower and, when compared with these average forehand speeds, are not always that much more powerful.1. Madison Keys: 77 mph2. Misaki Doi: 75 mph3. Coco Vandeweghe: 74 mph4. Yaroslava Shvedova: 74 mph5. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 73 mphBrutal backhandsForehand power is a common strength, but backhand brilliance less so. Many players in the modern era hit double-handed on that side to try to get more speed and control and, given the fastest averages below, it seems to have been working.dddddddddddd1. Madison Keys: 75 mph2. Coco Vandeweghe: 72 mph3. Carla Suarez Navarro: 72 mph4. Venus Williams: 71 mph5. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 71 mphForehand topspinThe speed of a shot might be relatively easy to measure, and the values are certainly part of the broader tennis lexicon. The number of revolutions per minute (rpm) a player puts on the ball is talked about less but can be significant. The revolution count is a good indication of the amount of spin put on a ball as well as the technical execution of the shot, and these averages are impressively high.1. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 2,508 rpm2. Carla Suarez Navarro: 2,334 rpm3. Coco Vandeweghe: 2,333 rpm4. Misaki Doi: 2,294 rpm5. Madison Keys: 2,193 rpmBackhand topspinTopspin is most frequently a forehand weapon and is much harder to execute on the other side, but the desire to give a ball a higher flight and more bounce and forward momentum on landing is still very much there. These five women have good technique.1. Carla Suarez Navarro: 2,120 rpm2. Yaroslava Shvedova: 1,960 rpm3. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova: 1,829 rpm4. Lucie Safarova: 1,828 rpm5. Madison Keys: 1,800 rpm* All statistics courtesy of Hawk-Eye Innovations.
