David Willey blogs on that hat-trick, Adil Rashids potency in India and the challenge of out-blasting West Indies... Taking a hat-trick against England isnt quite how I imagined preparing for my first World Twenty20!It felt strange bowling for a Mumbai XI against my team-mates in our last warm-up game, but after missing out against New Zealand it was great just to get a run out and a few wickets in the end column. My only previous hat-trick came for Northants against Surrey in the 2013 domestic T20 Blast final - a match that, to be fair, had a little more on it.Every wicket for your country means a lot but I struggle to celebrate when you get wickets at the end of the innings because someone slogs it up in the air. Give me a batsman nicking off outside off stump any day - especially if that batsman is Chris Gayle on Wednesday.Our opening game really is up for grabs; I truly believe we have a squad full of match-winners but West Indies play such an entertaining brand of cricket that it could be a case of us thumping them or vice versa. Thats the beauty of Twenty20 cricket.Theyll miss Sunil Narine no doubt but in Gayle, Darren Sammy and Andre Russell they have players with vast global experience, which counts for a lot when youre playing in big tournaments.So to have a captain in Eoin Morgan who knows what it takes to win a global tournament is a real asset. His ability to stay calm in pressure moments has always surprised me and this will be nothing new to him. Jason Roy looks on as I bend my back Everyones raring to go and as a squad we are exactly where we want to be.Weve been fortunate enough to have some good practice sessions at the Wankhede Stadium, the same ground where we play our first couple of games, which is a luxury.Its actually quite a small playing area so the atmosphere should be unbelievable on Wednesday; the passion for cricket here has been overwhelming ever since we touched down, with fans trying to get pictures of us whenever they can - which is a little disconcerting over breakfast! England begin their World T20 campaign against West Indies on Wednesday We didnt beat ourselves up about our defeat to South Africa. We werent quite sharp enough in some of the key moments and thats just made everyone work even harder and smarter.At practice were not just trying to smash balls out of the nets all of the time; we are working hard on skills that well need in sub-continental conditions, especially against spin on worn pitches, and doing plenty of fielding drills to a high standard and intensity.Being able to draw on the experience of someone like Mahela Jayawardene has been a real bonus and its been great for the guys to talk through different scenarios with him. Learning from the master, Mahela Jayawardene During the tournament well definitely be looking to attack different bowlers so were expecting the same back and are ready for it.Weve got all bases covered, with guys who bowl at different angles, with different trajectories and with different skills, which is crucial in one-day cricket if you want to make it as tough as possible for batsmen to line you up.Adil Rashid is going to be a massive weapon for us; he has taken his fine form from the Big Bash through South Africa and is now performing well here too. Rob Key looks at Adil Rashids technique during the series against South Africa I think guys are genuinely struggling to pick him and hopefully hell continue to take wickets in that middle period, which is crucial going into the back end of an innings.As for me, I feel pretty good having played a lot of one-day cricket this winter and am ready to go if selected.It truly is a dream come true to be here; Im still pinching myself a little bit! These things happen so quickly that you do need to take a few minutes to realise where youve come from.No one is getting carried away even though the vibe in the squad is very positive and thats brought the best out of us in training, especially in our football matches - the standard of which has been so good that Roy Hodgson should probably consider sending a couple of scouts out.You may have seen that Moeen Ali scored a fantastic overhead effort in training the other day. What wasnt widely reported was that it was subsequently disallowed on the grounds of height… Moeen Ali - the next Wayne Rooney?

John Randle Jersey . The Argentina striker has not played for the Premier League leaders since September when he refused to warm up during a Champions League match and only returned last week from a three-month unauthorized absence at home. City coach Roberto Mancini had initially told Tevez he would never play for City again after his act of public insubordination, but later softened his stance and only asked for an apology. Chuck Foreman Jersey . With the union re-formed, negotiations with owners will resume Friday on the remaining issues that would be in the collective bargaining agreement, according to a person familiar with the plans.SAKHIR, Bahrain -- Mercedes further demonstrated its early-season dominance by outpacing its rivals in Fridays practice sessions for the Bahrain Grand Prix, indicating the team is well poised for a third straight win to start 2014. Lewis Hamilton followed up his victory last week in Malaysia by having the fastest time in both sessions, the second of which was held under lights for the first time at the Bahrain International Circuit, which has switched to being a night race. Hamiltons time of 1 minute, 34.690 seconds was one third of a second faster than teammate and championship leader Nico Rosberg, and more than a second faster than third-place Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. "The car feels better than when we were testing here -- balance-wise, it was extremely good," Hamilton said. "There are still some tweaks we need to make it feel perfect, but Im feeling good." Defending four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel was a distant seventh on the timesheets, behind his fourth-place Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo -- who carries a 10-grid-place penalty into Sundays race. The pair was split by Felipe Massa of Williams and McLarens Jenson Button. Vettel, who was a competitive third in Malaysia, was downbeat aboout Red Bulls prospects of hanging on to the Mercedes coattails on Sunday.dddddddddddd "They are very quick. It is not a surprise, they were very quick in the testing here. They have proved that again," Vettel said. "It will be a long way for us to catch up." Even more dispiriting for Mercedes rivals was that the dominance reflected by their lap times on lighter fuel and soft tires was even more pronounced when using higher fuel loads to practice for race conditions. Williams had a distinctly different approach to the days practice, doing relatively few laps to extend engine life, reckoning that it had all the data it needed about the Bahrain track after extensive preseason testing there. Toro Rosso rookie Daniil Kvyat was eighth fastest, ahead of McLarens Kevin Magnussen and Force Indias Sergio Perez. The night session, which began in falling desert temperatures at 6 p.m. local time -- the same as Sundays race -- saw many drivers struggling to get sufficient heat in the tires, misjudging braking distances and running off track. Max Chiltons Marussia went into a violent spin after a front brake failure, while Saubers Adrian Sutil and Caterhams Marcus Ericsson both had sudden power losses.
