The only thing most stomachs want after their bodies have been violently ill is to settle. Dry toast and black tea, a hot-water bottle, an extended period of bed rest without much to challenge the brain or body so the internal storm can pass.South Africas Test team is that stomach. The next two weeks is its chance to settle. But circumstances may not allow it to do so completely.The 2015-16 summer was the teams worst in recent memory. They lost back-to-back series against India and England, they tumbled off the No.1 ranking and slipped to the bottom half. They lost their premier pace bowlers to injuries, their senior batsmen to bad form and even their captain.Now that 2016-17 has arrived, South Africa only have some of that back, but they have to start somewhere as they seek to begin a climb back up the rankings.Weve got to go back to the basics of our game, opening batsman Dean Elgar said. In the last two seasons we havent really done that well. Weve a lot of chopping and changing throughout the team, whether that was from a selection point of view or because of injury. So weve got to establish ourselves in world cricket again by ticking the boxes, doing the right things correctly.The shifting in the South African XI has stopped at the top, where Elgar will have his third opening partner in as many home series, except his one seems set to stay. Stephen Cook, who succeeded Stiaan van Zyl and Alviro Petersen, has been identified as the medium-term solution, and Elgar seems hopeful he can bring stability to the early part of innings.I think Stephen has played 15 years of first-class cricket. So hes very well established in that position. Hes opened the batting for 100% of his career. So hes definitely the man for the job, Elgar said.But that is where some of the certainty ends. The middle order can look imposing, but remains in limbo with Faf du Plessis and JP Duminy keeping their places in the squad - du Plessis has been elevated to lead the side in AB de Villiers absence - despite being dropped last summer. Add to it the inexperience of Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock.The risk of too much change by blooding someone new has forced South Africas selectors to stick to the names they know, and hope they perform better than they did last summer. We might not have had the results in the past but we know that the crop we have now - the squad and the back-up - are definitely the guys for the job, Elgar said.In the bowling department, South Africa will welcome back two old hands in Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander, who missed large parts of last summer with injuries. To compensate, South Africa stacked their pace pack with options including Kyle Abbott, Wayne Parnell and Chris Morris. Against New Zealand, they will likely have to pick three of the six to play.At least, they have limited the spin choice to just one person - Dane Piedt - and have ensured that six other members of the Test squad have done some pre-series preparation so they are not caught undercooked, as South Africa so often are.South Africa sent A teams to Zimbabwe and Australia, under Cooks captaincy, with Elgar, Parnell, Philander, Piedt and van Zyl all in the touring party. The results, however, were not entirely pleasing. After winning the Zimbabwe series 1-0, South Africa A lost both matches in Australia, leaving themselves open to questions over the quality of their depth.Its not that bad. Most of the guys in Australia had a good run out, Elgar reasoned. It was challenging cricket. Sometimes its good to have that first up. We know what we need to do and we know how to prepare before a series. The guys arent taking it lightly. The intensity throughout the squad is possibly the best Ive seen it.Still, he could not help himself from gazing across at the opposition camp where the stomach bug has long passed and everyone is in good health. Theyve had quite a bit of success throughout the last season or two. They seem to be a lot more established with regard to their roles in the team. Its going to be a massive challenge for us but we dont see it as a bad thing. We see it as something we can look forward to and try and test ourselves and see where we are as a team by playing a very good side. Devan Dubnyk Wild Jersey . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Alex Stalock Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. http://www.authenticwildpro.com/Jordan-greenway-wild-jersey/ . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. Luke Kunin Jersey . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday. Jordan Greenway Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. CINCINNATI -- Scott Schebler stood and watched his first career game-ending homer stay inside the foul pole, and then flipped his bat and made the tour of the bases. Quite a return for the outfielder.Scheblers three-run homer in the ninth inning rallied the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night in their first game without Jay Bruce. Schebler was called up earlier in the day to take his roster spot, and wound up winning a game.I didnt know if it was going to stay fair, and I stood there longer than I wanted to, Schebler said. Thats as good as it gets right there.Brandon Moss and Tommy Pham hit solo homers in the eighth for a 5-4 lead, but the Cardinals couldnt hold on in a game that had four lead changes in the last three innings.Seung Hwan Oh (2-2) escaped a bases-loaded threat in the eighth, but gave up a pair of singles to start the ninth. Schebler connected for his second homer of the season.That was long, loud and historic, manager Bryan Price said. That was something, especially after having the bases loaded and nobody out against the same pitcher. Oh has been sensational.Jumbo Diaz (1-1) fanned Oh with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth to keep it 5-4.The second-place Cardinals are hoping to make a run in the NL Central now that their lineup is closer to full strength. Moss and Jhonny Peralta returned from injuries on Tuesday, and the Cardinals expect to get leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter back later in the week.Instead, their second-straight walk-off loss dropped them nine games behind the first-place Cubs.Its hard, for sure, but theyre painful just like the other ones are painful, said Adam Wainwright, who lasted five innings. You dont want to get beat 11-0 either.Moss and Peralta had doubles that accounted for a run in the sixth. Moss tied it with a leadoff homer against Blake Wood in the eighth, part of his three-hit game. Pham followed with his first career pinch-hit homer, the fourth by St. Louis.Wainwright and Jedd Gyorko also had solo shots for St. Louis.Cincinnati played its first game since Bruce was dealt to the Mets. The right fielder and Adam Duvall were tied for the team lead with 25 homers at the time of thhe trade.dddddddddddd Duvall moved from left field to Bruces old spot and hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Kevin Siegrist for a 4-3 lead.Cincinnatis Joey Votto had an RBI double among his four hits and extended his hitting streak to a career-best 16 games. Yadier Molina doubled and extended his hitting streak to 16 games as well, the longest by a Cardinal since David Freese hit in 20 in a row in 2013.Wainwright hit his second homer of the season off Dan Straily, but couldnt beat the Reds. Wainwright went 3-0 with a 1.77 ERA in July, but lasted only five innings on Tuesday. Hes only 8-10 career against the Reds in 21 starts.VOTTO APOLOGIZES TO FANVotto wasnt happy with a fan in a Reds jersey who reached for a foul ball in the seventh, preventing him from making the play. Votto glared and tugged on the Reds logo on the fans jersey before heading back to his position. He later signed a baseball for the fan and stopped to pose for photos with him.I made a mistake crossing the stands-field boundary, Votto said. I misplayed it, and I took my frustration out on the fan. I felt bad about it. He apologized, but I was the one who shouldve been apologizing to him for bullying him.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: Even as they get some stalwarts back, the Cardinals lost another.
