Peter Handscombs mother was in tears at the sight of her son notching a Test match fifty on debut, but Australias new No. 5 stated plainly after stumps that he does not wish this day to be the high-point of his international career.Helped greatly by the platform Matt Renshaw, Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith built on the first evening and second afternoon, Handscomb was able to showcase his batting method - crease-bound defence allied to adept shots all around the ground - while skating through a 99-run stand with Khawaja. He hopes it will be seen on plenty more days.Very determined, Handscomb said when asked how determined he was to make a midde-order berth his own after the raft of recent changes to the Test side. There is that chance there to try to cement a spot in the middle order, which Ill be trying to take with both hands. Ill just go out there and do what I do and hopefully that will be enough.It was an amazing platform they set, especially Matt on debut. It was a great testament to him. He went about playing his own way, playing his own game and hopefully thatll continue to work for him. Uzzy [Khawaja] did an amazing job last night and today. They set that platform where the middle order were able to come in and still wait for that bad ball, but we were able to try and jump on it and score as many runs as we could.Handscomb got a good idea of what Test match batting should look like from Khawaja, who made his own debut in 2011, the same year Handscomb first played for Victoria. Hes seeing the ball really well and his movement patterns are great, he said.Batting out there with him was awesome because he just kept it really calm. In between overs, we discussed what we think the bowlers trying to do and from there we developed our own plans. He was very collected and very calculated.He never looked flustered out there even if the ball beat his outside edge, hed just go back, do his routine and do what he was doing all day, keep backing his process. It was awesome to watch.Normality can be hard to come by in the week a cricketer first receives his baggy green, but Handscomb said the presence of numerous friends in town for the occasion had helped to keep his head from expanding too much.A few of my mates have been coming in and having a coffee before the game, he said, which is nice to get away from whats going on around me. You can keep a level head, which is good.As I was going out to bat as well, the mates were off to the side yelling all sorts of stuff. It takes your mind off whats happening, you go out and try to play with freedom.As for mum, Handscomb wasnt aware of the tears, but looked forward to a catch-up. I didnt actually know that, I havent been able to speak to her yet or see her, he said, grinning. Looking forward to getting back to the hotel. Going to see how shes going and hopefully shes feeling alright.

Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary.CARSON, Calif. - An offside call that turned into a goal helped end the Vancouver Whitecaps club record six-game unbeaten streak Saturday night. Jose Villareals goal, originally ruled offside, enabled the Los Angeles Galaxy to rally for a 2-1 victory at StubHub Center in front of an announced crowd of 20,093 that included David Beckham and Victorias Steve Nash. Camilo scored his league-leading 13th goal for the Whitecaps (9-6-5), who fell into a four-way tie for third place in Major League Soccers Western Conference with the Galaxy (10-8-3), Dallas and Colorado. Vancouver held a 1-0 lead before Villareal tapped a two-yard shot past goalkeeper Brad Knighton in the 29th minute. Juninho began the play with a 34-yard free kick that Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez headed toward the net. Lineman Jeremy Hanson raised his flag to indicate Villareal as offside. But after conferring with referee Chris Penso, Villareal received credit for the goal. The Whitecaps players immediately surrounded Hanson to protest, and Vancouver coach Martin Rennie argued with fourth official Juan Guzman. "I havent seen that before," Rennie said of the decision. "If youre in doubt, usually, you dont give a goal, and there was obviously some doubt." Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes, stationed behind Villareal, was in position to head the ball into the goal. Had Zardes toouched the ball, Villareal would have been offside.ddddddddddddBut a replay showed Zardes barely missing his attempted header. "It was a key moment in the game," Rennie said. "But were not blaming the referee. We have to be good enough to overcome that." Zardes put Los Angeles ahead in the 57th minute. Zardes retrieved Todd Dunivants long ball along the left flank near the end line, eluded defender Brad Rusin and struck a seven-yard shot inside the far post. The Whitecaps best chance to tie came in the 73rd minute, after Kekuta Manneh made a steal and passed to Kenny Miller. But Millers nine-yard shot hit goalkeeper Carlo Cudicinis right ankle. "I dont think we played as well in the second half as we would have liked to," Knighton said. "We were too open, at times. A team like L.A. is going to take advantage of that, and they sure did." Camilo scored his 10th goal in the past eight games in the 19th minute. Russell Teibert deflected Lee Young-Pyos cross from the right flank to an unmarked Camilo, who converted from 17 yards. That goal kept Camilo one ahead of Chicagos Mike Magee in the race for the goal-scoring championship. Los Angeles played without Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane. Donovan is with the United States Gold Cup team and Keane injured his hip flexor muscle July 13 against Portland. ' ' '
