Having come in at the fall of an early wicket, Cheteshwar Pujara had done most of the hard things right in the Antigua Test. He had seen off the new ball, achieved a 100% control rate against the oppositions most dangerous bowler, Shannon Gabriel, and gone to lunch unbeaten. Shortly after the break, though, he got himself out, top-edging a pull off legspinner Devendra Bishoo.With that, his last five scores in Test cricket were 21, 31, 14, 28, and 16. Its the kind of sequence that, on paper, suggests a batsman isnt converting his starts, or is losing his concentration too often, and a not-too-dissimilar sequence - though longer - briefly cost Pujara his Test spot in early 2015. Pujara, though, says he isnt worried about his form. Speaking to the media on Thursday, he pointed out that some of his recent in-between scores were important contributions in a low-scoring home series against South Africa.Overall I have been batting well and even in the South Africa series there have been good scores and good batting on challenging wickets, he said. So at times you have to be realistic and see the contribution without seeing whether I am getting hundreds or big double-hundreds. Its always about contributing to the teams success.I feel I am batting well without worrying too much about it and at the same time I realise I played a bad shot in the last Test match when I was looking good. I did the hard work in the first session when the ball was moving. Obviously I played a bad shot and there are things to learn from that particular game. Overall the team did well and I am really happy with the way things are going.Pujara was one of only four Indian players - the others were Ajinkya Rahane, KL Rahul and Bhuvneshwar Kumar - who turned up for an optional practice session two days before the second Test against West Indies in Jamaica. He said he wasnt working on anything specific, and that he just liked to take every opportunity to bat at the nets.I think I just want to practice a little more since I didnt score runs in the first Test match so I can get some extra hits, he said. Whenever there is an option to practice, I prefer to practice. It is always about the individual, [whether he] wants to take a break or practice. I am the kind of player who prefers to practice even on an optional day.There was a healthy covering of grass on the Sabina Park pitch on Thursday, but Pujara said it wouldnt affect the teams plans, or change their preparation, all that much.I dont think so, he said If we see the first Test, there was good pace and bounce from the wicket, and we did well. We just need to continue doing what we have been doing well and there have been many partnerships from the last game. In particular, [R] Ashwin batted well and [Amit] Mishra did well; the top order is doing well and there are contributions from the lower order which is a positive sign from the team.Pujara said his role in the side remained just the same under new head coach Anil Kumble.Things remain very simple, he said. I always have to contribute and play with responsibility. And I have been doing that and keep working hard on my game as I have been. And I dont think I need to really worry much about the kind of performances I have put on or what everyone is saying.I have spoken to [Kumble], he told me about a few things which obviously I cannot disclose here. He has been very positive with the way I have batted in the past and contributions I have made. And he is very happy with the way I have been batting. Vans Shoes Cheap Australia .

TRONDHEIM, Norway -- A superb solo goal by Dani Carvajal just before the end of extra time gave Real Madrid a 3-2 victory over 10-man Spanish rival Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup on Tuesday.Madrid, the Champions League winners in May, took the lead in the 21st minute through Marco Asensio against a Sevilla side that lifted the Europa League trophy for a third straight time last season.Sevilla hit back with an equalizer from Franco Vazquez and a second half penalty from Yevhen Konoplyanka that looked to have sealed Europes pre-season showcase match.But captain Sergio Ramos leveled for Madrid in the third minute of stoppage time and Sevilla defender Timothee Kolodziejczak was sent off at the start of extra time, before Carvajal went on a run from the halfway line to score the winner in the 119th minute.The essence of Real Madrid is that we never give up, Carvajal said. A goal after the 90th minute and another one at the end of the added period make us champions.While Zinedine Zidane became the fifth coach to win the trophy also as a player, his milestone spoiled the competitive debut of counterpart Jorge Sampaoli at his new club.A new-look Sevilla side that has lost Kevin Gameiro, Gregorz Krychowiak and Ever Banega during the offseason fell to the Champions League winner for the third straight season. In a cup match that has been dominated by Spanish sides in recent years, Madrid beat Sevilla 2-0 two years ago before Barcelona also needed added time to prevail 5-4 last year.Its unbelievable that the match got away from us, Sevilla defender Nico Pareja said. We deserved to win. We played better andd in one detail it slipped away.ddddddddddddWith star forward Cristiano Ronaldo injured, Gareth Bale not in the squad, and Karim Benzema only fit to play the last half hour, Madrid had to turn to a pair of defenders and a youngster making his first appearance in European competition for its goals.Helping to fill in for a Madrid side that was also missing Toni Kroos from midfield, 20-year-old Asensio staked his claim to a spot with Zidanes team with an exquisite left-foot shot from outside the area that dipped just in time to squeeze inside the woodwork.Sevilla, however, held firm and responded through Vazquez, who slotted the ball inside the far post when it fell to him in the area four minutes before halftime.The stalemate lasted until Victor Vitolo Machin was brought down by Ramos inside the box in the 72nd minute, allowing Konoplyanka to roll his spot kick into the corner while goalkeeper Kiko Casilla went the wrong way.Sevilla appeared to have the elusive trophy in hand until Ramos came through in heroic fashion, similar to his headed goal that sent the 2014 Champions League final into extra time before Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 4-1.The Spain centerback made up for conceding the penalty by joining the fray in front of the goalmouth, where he nodded home Lucas Vazquezs cross with seconds remaining in stoppage time.I was lucky enough to level the match, but the team showed it can rise above any injuries, and our young players really gave it their all, Ramos said.
