While a few metres away Matt Renshaw and Peter Handscomb collected their bags for the very first time as Australian Test cricketers, Callum Ferguson reflected on how he had been picked and discarded in the space of a single week.The scenes at Adelaide Airport - apart from the scuffle between South Africas support staff and an eager television reporter - reflected these strange and tumultuous times for Australian cricket. Handscomb and Matthew Wade arrived from Melbourne a few minutes before Renshaw and Usman Khawaja jetted in from Brisbane.They were accompanied by the South Australian side that failed by 12 balls to eke out a draw against Queensland in the Sheffield Shield match at the Gabba. After the travails of the past two weeks it isnt hard to imagine numerous figures at Cricket Australia hoping the Test team can be that competitive against South Africa this week.The last man out at the Gabba, Chadd Sayers, wandered through the arrivals hall in an Australia team polo Ferguson had donned only a few days before. Though he had every reason to be upset, even bitter about his treatment, Ferguson put on a commendably brave face, befitting the even temperament of a man who has retained his perspective and hunger to perform even in the face of two knee reconstructions.Asked whether he was confused by how he had been dumped so rapidly, Ferguson did not bite: Just disappointed at this stage, as you are whenever you get left out of a team. It is disappointing anytime you get left out of a side, so its back to the drawing board. Make runs for South Australia, win games and hopefully fight my way back in.It was certainly a really exciting week but a disappointing one. We had a really tough week on the field. Im backing the Australian side to bounce back after this, it has been a tough few months but certainly theyve got the quality in the side so I think they can bounce back.The interim selection chairman Trevor Hohns had offered Ferguson a slight glimmer of hope for the future when informing him that his services were no longer required - there has been talk of taking him to India. I spoke to Trevor the other day and he said the door is certainly not shut, he said. Get out there, make runs and certainly youve got an opportunity to get back in there if you do put them on the board.The sheer turnover of Australian players was not lost on Josh Hazlewood, formerly a young bowler in the team yet now one of the more senior members. I think with such a young group, it is exciting, he said. We get to build something together. I think there is not as much pressure because its everyones first game. We need to start from a point moving forward and hopefully this group gets an opportunity to do that, not only in one game but over a period of time.Later in the afternoon, Renshaw trained at Adelaide Oval for the first time, and in practice occupied the first slip post that had until last week belonged to Adam Voges. All connected with Australian cricket, even Ferguson, will hope the revolving door stops here. Seth Joyner Eagles Jersey . Murray beat Sam Querrey 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3 to clinch Britains opening-round victory against the United States on Sunday at Petco Park. "Im proud of the way Im playing just now, because I had to do a lot of work to get back to where I want to be," Murray said after celebrating with his teammates on the red clay court in a temporary stadium in left field of the downtown home of baseballs San Diego Padres. Ron Jaworski Womens Jersey . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Dallas-Goedert-Jersey/ . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Fletcher Cox Youth Jersey .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Reggie White Jersey . The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season. In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Andre Johnson keeps himself loose and warm on the Tennessee Titans sideline, walking around and exercising by lifting his knees up towards his chest.He wants to be ready to go when needed.Biding his time is something different for the man with the most catches and yards receiving of any current NFL wide receiver, and Johnson is doing his best to fit in with his third team in as many years. Johnson showed why the Titans signed him at the start of training camp when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Detroit last week.Its a new role for me, Johnson said of being a backup. In the beginning, it could be really frustrating because its something youre not used to. But when youre able to go out and make a play like that to help your team win a game, it makes it all worth it.Johnsons 14th NFL season didnt start until the Titans signed him to a two-year deal on the day they reported for training camp. The seven-time Pro Bowler had been looking for a team after a lone season in Indianapolis, which followed his first 12 seasons with the Houston Texans who drafted him third overall out of Miami in 2003.Johnson came to Tennessee having started 181 of the 185 games he played in the NFL.Tennessee doesnt need Johnson to start. The Titans signed Rishard Matthews away from the Dolphins and have rookie Tajae Sharpe, a fifth-round draft pick, are in those roles.They want Johnson catching passes to extend drives and win games, just as he did against Detroit. Johnson caught the second pass thrown to him on fourth-and-5 over two defenders for the game-winning with 1:13 left. After the game, Johnson and offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie shared a brief moment .Hes one of the reasons why I came here, and he just gave me a hug and told me thats what youre here for, Johnson said.The 6-foot-3, 229-pound Johnson still offers a big target for a quarterback and great hands. He used his body to finish off the TD reception with a linebacker already clawing at the ball. Then again, Johnson now has 1,057 receptions for 114,139 yards -- both within the NFLs top 10 all-time -- with that the 69th touchdown of his career.ddddddddddddakland quarterback Derek Carr has known Johnson since he was 12 and calls the receiver a good friend.I think he is a Hall of Famer, Carr said Wednesday. Theres no doubt in my mind hes one of the best receivers to ever play this game.Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has only started 14 games so far in his NFL career, and he certainly understands what he has in Johnson.Andre, his play his entire career gives any quarterback a whole lot of confidence, Mariota said. So for me, it doesnt matter whos out there. I trust every one of those guys. They put in a lot of hard work throughout the week. But Andres level of play, its easy to throw the ball.Johnson celebrated by tossing the ball from his first TD catch with Tennessee into the stands. He said the catch ranks up near the top in his career, though the reaction by some of his new co-workers took him by surprise.After the game because I had so many of the people that work here and some of my teammates, and they were like, `Were glad youre not doing it to us anymore, Johnson said. It was kind of funny just hearing that. But at the end of the day, Im a Titan and Im here to try to go out and make plays that to help win games. Thats what Im here to do.Game notes Titans coach Mike Mularkey announced right guard Chance Warmack chose to have surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right hand and will go on injured reserve. Either Brian Schwenke or Josh Kline will replace him. ... LB Derrick Morgan (left hamstring) and WR Kendall Wright (left hamstring) took part in individual drills.
