The weather finally seems to be improving, at least to the point that there has been no snow, and the County Championship is just starting to get into full flow. Logan Stanley Jersey . It was draws galore, though, with Kent the only side in either division able to secure a win in week four but there have still been plenty high class performances and players from across the country staking their claim to be included in our County Championship team of the week.Do you agree with our XI? Leave a comment below or tweet us @SkyCricket... Daniel Bell-Drummond (Kent) The Kent opener has started the season in fine form and played a key role in his sides comprehensive 10-wicket win over Glamorgan at Canterbury. A knock of 84 in the first innings as Kent racked up 488 and a lead of 228, was followed by an unbeaten 86 in the second. Bell-Drummond and Tom Lathams stand of 190 steering Kent over the line on day four.Alastair Cook (Essex) The England captain looks to be in fine fettle heading into Englands Test series with Sri Lanka next month, live on Sky Sports, and brought up his third century of the summer on day two of Essexs draw at Worcestershire. After losing opening partner Nick Browne early on, Cook put on 222 for the second wicket with Tom Westley and was eventually the sixth wicket to fall, having made 142.Competition for the opening spots was fierce with Brett DOliveira of Worcestershire, Northants Jake Libby, Leicestershires Paul Horton, Chris Nash of Sussex, Somersets Marcus Trescothick, Chesney Hughes of Derbyshire and Hampshire left-hander Michael Carberry all unfortunate to miss out having made centuries.Alex Lees (Yorkshire) He opened for Yorkshire but Alex Lees will have to make do with the No 3 spot in our team after an impressive showing for Yorkshire against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. After top-scoring with 92 for Jason Gillespies side in the first innings, the 23-year-old left-hander added his eighth first-class century in the second as Yorkshire made a late charge for victory. He eventually fell for 107 by which time he had shown, in front of the Sky Sports cameras, exactly what he is capable of.James Hildreth (Somerset) Batting at four for Somerset, Hildreth could only watch from the non-strikers end as James Anderson ripped through his sides middle order with three wickets in five balls. That left his side rocking at 102-5, just shy of 400 runs behind Lancashires first innings total. However, Hildreth (130) held the innings together and was eventually the last man out having guided his team to 313. A total that enabled Somerset to hold out for a draw on the final day.Jack Burnham (Durham) It was a game dominated by the batsmen for long periods at the Oval and one player who took advantage more than most was Burnham. The 19-year-old hit a career-best 135, his maiden first class century, and was involved in a 145-run partnership with Scott Borthwick (77). His runs helped Durham build up a sizeable first innings lead and, although the game ended in a draw, it allowed them to push on in search of victory on the final day.Liam Livingstone (Lancashire) Playing in just his second first class match, Livingstone recorded his first ton, making 108 not out as Lancashire made 493-9 declared in their first innings against Somerset. Having scored 70 on his County Championship debut against Nottinghamshire, Livingstone again showed that he is capable of successfully implementing his aggressive batting style in the longer-format of the game, as he hit nine fours and two sixes in his unbeaten knock.Chris Read (Nottinghamshire) The Nottinghamshire captain played his part in a dramatic final day at Trent Bridge, scoring a superb 101 as his side set Yorkshire 320 to win. Read made just five in the first innings but coming in with Notts struggling at 98-5 in the second innings, he dragged his side up to 348 before becoming the final wicket to fall. A partnership of 53 with Samit Patel had eased the hosts concerns before a century stand with Stuart Broad took them out of danger and put them on the front foot. The wicketkeeper also did his bit with the gloves, taking four catches.Ryan McLaren (Hampshire) The South African was on form with both bat and ball for Hampshire in their draw with Middlesex. He took 4-74 in his 24 overs in Middlesexs first innings and then backed it up with a valuable 46 not out in Hampshires second. His unbeaten 104 partnership with Adam Wheater helped the hosts build a large enough lead to declare and press for victory on day four at the Ageas Bowl.Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire) There was already talk of Ball being a future England bowler but after his showing against Yorkshire at Trent Bridge, live on Sky Sports, calls for the fast bowler to join up with Cooks side will only grow in volume and veracity. The Nottinghamshire bowler ripped through the much-vaunted Yorkshire top order, removing both Adam Lyth and Gary Ballance as well as Joe Root for a golden duck. He ended the first innings with figures of 4-57 and took another three wickets in the second - again dismissing Lyth and Root, with the crucial wicket of Jonny Bairstow his final scalp.Mitchell Claydon (Kent) Kent were in complete control from the very first over of the match against Glamorgan and Claydon ensured - with both bat and ball - that they never lost that advantage. The seamer was the pick of the Kent bowlers in Glamorgans first innings, taking 4-59, and then did his bit with the bat, scoring 55 from 54 balls as they built up a significant first innings lead. Claydon had slightly less success with the ball in the second innings but still picked up two wickets, including the important scalp of centurion David Lloyd who had successfully frustrated Kent for much of day three.Jack Brooks (Yorkshire) Of the bowlers on show at Trent Bridge, the up-and-coming Ball may have taken the majority of the plaudits after taking seven wickets in the match but Brooks, a more experienced campaigner, matched that total and was equally impressive. The Yorkshire seamer picked up the wickets of three of Nottinghamshires top four on the opening day, as well as that of second innings century-maker Chris Read. He added another three wickets in the second innings to end with match figures of 7-143. Also See: CC Div One table CC Div Two table Domestic fixtures/results Get Surrey tickets! Nikolaj Ehlers Jersey . Yet now its time for the most important pick of them all; the Grey Cup. The thought of going 5-0 with the correct choice is quite intoxicating, I dont think I have ever gone perfect in my CFL futuristic playoff speculations and would take great pride in guessing - I mean analyzing - correctly. Joel Armia Jersey . Erik Cole scored on a breakaway with 4:49 to play, and the Stars rallied to defeat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Saturday night. http://www.nhljetsauthority.com/authentic-dale-hawerchuk-jets-jersey/ . But Josh Bailey scored the shootout winner to lead the Islanders to a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in a battle of the Eastern Conferences two worst teams.At the recent Cup of China, it was a shocking collision during the 6-minute warmup of the mens event that unfortunately overshadowed the competition and stole the headlines. Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan and Han Yan of China collided full speed at centre ice and both were left lying on the ice holding their heads while they tried to get up and the medics tried to reach them. Both were helped off the ice and attended to and the warmup was stopped to give shocked officials and the other competitors a chance to regroup before it was restarted. Hanyu and Yan were examined by doctors who found no concussion symptoms. Both elected to skate and, while they struggled valiantly, the toll of the crash was obvious in their performances. It looks unlikely that Hanyu and Yan will be ready for their next Grand Prix events as Yan is due up next week in France and Japanese officials have said that Hanyu, who is at home in Sendai recovering, will be off for 2-3 weeks which is when he is due to compete in Japan at the NHK Trophy. We saw the skaters resolve and determination in China so stay tuned. The unlikely may happen. With his second place finish, Hanyu is still in the running for the Grand Prix Final in December and his next competition is on home ice so his motivation to compete will be strong. The bright light for Team Canada in China was the performance of 16-year-old Nam Nguyen, who continued to show remarkable composure and consistency in his second outing on the Senior Circuit. He was the first competitor to take the ice after the unsettling warmup and once again stepped up big time, nailing another quadruple jump and delivering a virtually clean skate. His only error came when he singled a planned triple axel but, showing a focus and confidence beyond his years, he added it later in the program in combination with a triple toe loop. Not only was it a smart calculation by Nam, it was a risky move that only a handful of skaters in the world would be capable of. He finished fourth overall to add to his surprise bronze medal win at Skate America. Interesting to note that Nam just started trying and landing his quad this summer and is 3-for-3 in competition this season. Quite remarkable. He is young and still growing so lacks the power of some of the top guys but what he has shown us so far this season, his love of performing and ability to pull in top technical scores, is that he is heading down a path that is reminiscent of some of the Canadian legends in the sport. As expected, the Russian ladies continued to dominate in China but what was a surprise was that it was not Olympic team gold medalisst Julia Lipnitskaya who was the eventual winner, it was her teammate Elizaveta Tuktamysheva who stole the show. Blake Wheeler Jersey. Where Julia fell completely apart in the free skate, calling it my worst skate ever!, Elizaveta delivered an ambitious and engaging long program. She is, for many, the sentimental favourite when it comes to picking among the deep pool of young Russian talent. We watched her rise to prominence as a 14-year-old, only to have it slip away as the Olympics approached due to a maturing body which resulted in inconsistent jumps. In 2011-2012, the Russian golden girl became a Sochi spectator and this summer, her quest became a personal one about getting back to where she once was. Well, she has done that, and then some. Her triples are technically as good as they come. They are light and springy, and clean and controlled. Her performances now have soul. There is a heartfelt emotion that was not there previously. As the saying goes, you dont know what youve got till its gone, and Elizaveta knows what she lost and one can see the triumph of having it back written all over her face. With the win in China and a silver at Skate America, she has earned a spot at the Grand Prix final where, at only 17, she will likely be the elder statesmen in what is shaping up to be a very young field. Also in the ladies event in China, we got our first look at the 16-year-old Canadian silver medalist Gabrielle Daleman on the senior circuit. She finished in a respectable fifth place but was in a virtual tie for fourth (.01 back) in a tough field. Gabby has both the jumping arsenal to contend and the determined focus to attack and deliver. I like what I saw from her in China on her first time out at this level this season and while her face in the kiss and cry said that she did not like the results, she is in the game and, with a little fine tuning, can get the scores shes hoping for. We are now at the halfway point of the Grand Prix season and this is where the spots for the final (six in each discipline) will begin to be locked up. Canadians are strongest in the pairs and dance this season and are on target to qualify two teams in the dance and one in the pairs. Our attention turns to Russia this weekend and the Rostelecom Cup. Canada has only a couple of entries but the Russians of course will be out in full force, except for Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova who is now out due to injury. In the renaissance that is Russian skating, it will be fun to watch some of their new teams in both the pairs and dance as they jostle for prominence in the early stages of this Olympic quadrennial.
