With the series poised at 1-1, Georgia Elwiss blogs ahead of England Womens crunch Championship ODIs in West Indies... Wagwan from Jamaica!After Hurricane Matthew fortunately passed the island without too great an impact, we got our training underway at the amazing Trelawny Stadium in Montego Bay. Its a wonderful facility which was purpose built for the 2007 ICC World T20 and its a pretty imposing place with large stands looking over the ground and with beautiful views over the sea. Unfortunately the close proximity to the ocean didnt quite register with one of the girls (I cant say who, shell kill me!), and after one particularly tough session, she wistfully asked if we were at altitude… FINE! The picturesque surrounds of Montego Bays Trelawney Stadium Dishing out team fines is something we enjoy doing throughout the duration of tour - basically a fines master is appointed, and they are then responsible for collating an ongoing list of embarrassing moments or daft comments for each player and member of our support staff. On the last night of tour we gather as a big group to go through them all. It helps to keep things light-hearted and maybe stop people being stupid - even the management!In good spirits and ready to go, we played a warm-up game against a Jamaica womens representative XI ahead of our first ODI, which featured some excellent contributions from Amy Jones and Danni Wyatt. Our preparation block at the National Cricket Performance Centre leading into this tour has so far proven to be spot on. All the talk back in Loughborough was about being able to play on slow, low, turning pitches and making game plans to enable us to negate the threat of spinners and how to score runs with low risk options. So far, the pitches we have played on for first two ODIs were exactly that although with 9.30am starts out here, there was a little more help for the seam bowlers early in the morning.The first ODI was perhaps one of the best games of cricket I have ever been involved in. The game ebbed and flowed, momentum shifted in the space of a few balls and true to the universal law of low-scoring games there was an exciting finish - with an exceptional spell of bowling from Katherine Brunt to give us the victory.Unfortunately, it wasnt to be in our second ODI where in another low scoring game we fancied ourselves to chase 149, especially when we were so well positioned at 90-3. However, as in the first clash, momentum changed very quickly and after a devastating spell of bowling from Deandra Dottin we found ourselves all out for 110. Deandra Dottin once again proved her pedigree, in the second ODI The local support from hotel staff and English tourists has been fantastic. We managed to nearly fill one of the large stands for the first ODI with England fans (staying in the same hotel as us for a big family wedding!) who wholeheartedly took on the vuvuzelas of the West Indian fans and created one of the best atmospheres for us to play in front of. Although there were probably only 300 people in the ground it felt like 3,000!Back at the hotel the staff have been fantastic, always so friendly even though they were supporting the West Indians. Although Im pretty sure for the first few days they were trying to slip some rum in our banana smoothies to throw us off our game!We have been caught in a few tropical storms over here resulting in some proper rain! I have been rooming with Jenny Gunn who is normally petrified of storms but I ran back to the room to check on her and she was playing photographer extraordinaire out on the balcony lapping up the slow-mo feature on her phone and filming crazy videos! She said the heat must have been getting to her! We join England Women on their tour bus as they prepare for the final three ODIs of their series against West Indies. We are off to Kingston now for the remainder of our series and for the three ODIs which also carry ICC Womens Championship points - the qualification competition for the ICC Womens World Cup in England next year.

Yeezy 350 Store . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Steve Pearce is eager to take advantage of every opportunity hes given to help the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old journeyman outfielders opposite-field double snapped a scoreless tie and Nelson Cruz added his major league-leading 22nd homer, providing all the run support rookie Kevin Gausman and two relievers needed to shut down the struggling Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 for manager Buck Showalters 1,200th career win on Wednesday. Gausman pitched six innings and Pearce, who homered during a 7-5 victory over Tampa Bay on Tuesday, went 2 for 4 to boost his batting average to .324 with six homers and 15 RBIs. Not bad for a guy who was out of baseball for two days after the Orioles designated him for assignment and eventually released him in the opening month of the season. Since re-signing with the team on April 29, hes gradually built confidence while making the most of limited chances hes had to contribute. "And I want to keep continuing it and doing what I can do to help the team win," Pearce said. "Thats 10 at-bats in two days, I dont know if Ive ever had that in my career." The first of Pearces two doubles, a line drive down the right-field line, drove in Nick Markakis from first base in the fifth inning. Alex Cobb (2-5) would have gotten through the fifth unscathed if second baseman Ben Zobrist hadnt mishandled Markakis two-out grounder for an error. Cobb yielded four hits and four walks in seven innings. The right-hander fanned six in his sixth start since returning from a five-week stay on the disabled list with a left oblique strain. "Its kind of been the story of the year so far for us in the fact that on those days we pitch good, its been tough to come across some runs," Cobb said. "On the other hand of that is were pitching poorly and the offence is putting up a lot of runs," the right-hander added. "Weve just got to get on the same page and ... and play the type of baseball we should be." Gausman (3-1) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out five, including Zobrist and James Loney after the Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the first. The Rays were blanked for an AL-leading 11th time, finishingg with five hits and going 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.dddddddddddd "We just didnt hit," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "How many times have I had to say that this year?" Pearce is hitting .444 with three homers, three doubles, five walks, five runs scored and six RBIs against Tampa Bay this year. Most of the damage has come at Tropicana Field, where the Orioles have won five of six meetings between the AL East rivals to build a 7-1 lead in the season series. Cruz, who also leads the majors with 58 RBIs, homered for the first time since June 3. The solo shot off Kirby Yates made it 2-0 in the eighth. Tommy Hunter pitched two perfect innings and Zach Britton worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his ninth save in 10 opportunities. The Rays loaded the bases in the first on a leadoff walk, Kevin Kiermaiers single and shortstop J.J. Hardys fielding error. Gausman worked out of the jam, striking out Loney and Zobrist before getting David DeJesus to foul out along the left field line to end the threat. The Rays wasted another opportunity in the sixth when Evan Longoria had a leadoff double, Loney struck out and Zobrist hit a soft liner to left field that Pearce caught on the run before tossing the ball to second for an easy double play, when Longoria continued to run, mistakenly thinking there were two outs. "Stevie just seems to be dialing up what we need," Showalter said. "Its probably no coincidence that he was involved in the double play, too. That was pretty good positioning." NOTES: Pearce, who grew up in nearby Lakeland, has three homers in 18 at-bats against the Rays this season. All of the homers have come at Tropicana Field. ... After striking out with the bases loaded in the first and hitting into a double play in the sixth, Zobrist has one hit in his last 36 at-bats with runners in scoring position. ... The Orioles have Thursday off before beginning a weekend series at Yankee Stadium, with RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (2-8) facing RHP Hiroki Kuroda (4-5) on Friday. The Rays continue a 10-day homestand, opening a four-game set against Houston, with RHP Chris Archer going against RHP Collin McHugh (4-4) on Thursday. ' ' '
