defensive tackle Kendal Vickers are the only Vols who start

Fifteen wickets fell on day two at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, where Hyderabad bowled Himachal Pradesh out for 36, the fourth-lowest total in the Ranji Trophy since 2000. None of Himachals batsmen got into double figures as seamers M Ravi Kiran and Chama Milind cut through the top order before legspinner Akash Bhandari snared four wickets to demolish the tail. Himachal, on 8 for 2 overnight, were bowled out in 25 overs.Hyderabad got into the lead with only a wicket down, thanks to a 38-run second-wicket partnership between Akshath Reddy and B Anirudh, but Rishi Dhawan ensured they didnt run away with the game. The allrounder grabbed six wickets as Hyderabad ended the day seven down for 99, only 63 ahead. Anirudh was still at the crease at stumps, on 44 off 111 balls, having hit seven fours.Players from both sides agreed that the pitch was difficult to bat on, but suggested the low totals were also down to a lack of application from the batsmen.This is one of the most-challenging surfaces Ive played on this season, said Robin Bist, the Himachal middle-order batsman who was lbw to Ravi Kiran for a duck. Yes, it was tough, but weve played on tougher surfaces in the past, so in that sense this was nowhere near being dangerous.There was inconsistent bounce. One ball would take off, others would keep low. I think most of the batsmen, including myself, were influenced by that. Maybe thats why we had as many as nine dismissals [across both innings] either bowled or lbw. There was definite help for the bowlers; all they needed to do was to be accurate.Paras Dogra, Himachals No. 4, called it a clear case of batsmen from both sides lacking application.Run scoring was difficult, but not to the extent scorecard suggests, he said. One of their batsmen [Anirudh] showed what patience and application can give you on this wicket. Lot of the shots were cross-batted, which increases the chance of lbw on any surface. One thing is for sure, this is certainly a result-oriented game. Its the kind of wicket where you cant switch off. I think the scorecard is just an exaggeration.Hyderabad captain S Badrinath was out for a two-ball duck, bowled by Dhawan. He agreed with Dogras assessment of the conditions.You just cant blame the pitch, saying it was a poor wicket, he said. [The fall of wickets] was down to a combination of both the pitch being difficult and poor technique from the batsmen. The wicket wasnt the easiest to bat [on], but there were some poor decisions and choice of shots. It was one wicket where you had to apply yourself. You dont have to be extremely skilled on this wicket; just have to be patient and play straight.Unfortunately, no batsman from our side apart from Anirudh applied. He played 111 balls, its not about the [44] runs. He showed if you can apply you can definitely bat. Anirudh looked to play straight and he got all his runs when he played straight. He was willing to be patient, and let the ball go. His choice of shots were good. He didnt go for the big, booming cover drive, and didnt play outside the line.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Butch Jones will thoroughly, thoroughly examine every aspect of his program as the Volunteers prepare for the Music City Bowl and attempt to reverse a late-season slide.After getting off to a 5-0 start and being ranked as high as ninth, Tennessee (8-4) dropped four of its final seven regular-season games, including surprising losses at South Carolina and Vanderbilt . The Vols face No. 24 Nebraska (9-3) in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30 at Nashville, Tennessee.Obviously we did not finish (the regular season) the way we wanted to finish, Jones said. Thats unacceptable in our program. I take responsibility for that as the leader of this program. We have to do a better job of finishing.Tennessees slump makes this a different type of bowl season for the Vols.Each of the last two years, Tennessee posted one-sided bowl victories that capped late-season surges. Tennessees 45-6 Outback Bowl blowout of Northwestern last year highlighted a six-game winning streak to close the season. Two years ago, the Vols won four of their last five games, including a 45-28 TaxSlayer Bowl triumph over Iowa .Tennessees players say they remain as motivated as ever for the bowl game. Theyre eager to stay in their home state and correct the mistakes theyve made in their last few games.Well be excited to actually play another game and redeem ourselves from our last performance, quarterback Joshua Dobbs said.This isnt the way Tennessee anticipated ending its season. The Vols were picked to win the SEC Eastern Division title but finished behind Florida, a team they had beaten early in the season. They still had a legitimate shot at earning a Sugar Bowl bid until their loss to Vanderbilt.The recent struggles have Tennessee eager to address the long-term health of its program while also preparing for the bowl game.I will thoroughly, thoroughly examine everything in our football program in moving forward, Jones said. Every amount of time where Imm not recruiting or not in a home or not in a high school, Im examining that and will continue to do that.dddddddddddd Thats a process. You have to take the emotion out. You have to look at where youre at, you have to look at how far youve come and then you have to look at your deficiencies as a football team and a football program.Jones said one of Tennessees major offseason priorities is adding depth. A multitude of injuries and a porous defense prevented Tennessee from maintaining the form it showed early in the season.We have to continue to recruit that depth, Jones said. Our starting 22 could play with anybody in the country. I think we saw that starting out 5-0.Dobbs, defensive end Derek Barnett, offensive tackle Brett Kendrick, wide receiver Josh Malone and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers are the only Vols who started all 12 regular-season games. Injuries have caused Tennessee to start seven different offensive line combinations and 10 different secondary combinations. The defense lost tackles Kahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle, linebackers Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Quarte Sapp plus safety Evan Berry to season-ending injuries.The bad news on the injury front continued Monday when Jones announced offensive tackle Chance Hall has undergone surgery and will miss the Music City Bowl. Hall missed Tennessees last three regular-season games with a knee injury.All those injuries may help explain why defensive end LaTroy Lewis says this year is definitely not a disappointment, even though the Vols didnt live up to their preseason billing.I probably can sit here and talk to numerous friends playing around the country, and they would trade (for) our eight wins in a heartbeat, Lewis said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ' ' '
