Chris Jordan, the Sussex and England allrounder, has signed to play in the Big Bash League with Adelaide Strikers. Jordan comes in as an overseas replacement, covering the expected absence of his England team-mate Adil Rashid.The 2016-17 BBL starts on December 20 and runs until the end of January. Rashid is currently with Englands Test squad in India - the final match of the five-Test series is scheduled to finish on December 20 - and is also likely to be part of the limited-overs party when they return to India next month.Jordan has also been a regular selection for England in white-ball cricket over the last few years, although he was left out of the squad that played three ODIs in Bangladesh in October. He was a member of the side that reached the World T20 final earlier this year and was subsequently signed by IPL side Royal Challengers Bangalore.Jason Gillespie, the Strikers coach, knows Jordan from his time in England in charge of Yorkshire. Chris is an allrounder who has represented England with distinction and we are delighted to have secured his services, Gillespie said.He bowls very good pace, is renowned for taking early wickets and he is also known for his death bowling - and hes also one of the best fielders in the world. Hes a quality cricketer who has all three strings to his bow, and were extremely excited to be welcoming here to the Adelaide Strikers.Rashids unavailability would be a blow to the Strikers, after he finished the 2015-16 season as the competitions second-leading wicket-taker, helping Adelaide into the semi-finals in Gillespies first season in charge.

Coleman Jersey . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. RIO DE JANEIRO -- As Jenny Simpson took an extra lap around the blue track Tuesday night, Stars and Stripes in tow, and celebrated becoming the first U.S. woman to medal in the Olympic 1,500 meters, she thought back to a moment of disappointment.At the 2015 world championships in Beijing, Simpson lost a shoe after getting stepped on and was forced to complete her event with her left foot bare. She ended up 11th, a far cry from her 2011 world title and 2013 runner-up finish.Now she has her Olympic bronze, finishing third at Olympic Stadium in 4 minutes, 10.53 seconds, behind Faith Kipyegon of Kenya and world-record holder Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia.Exactly a year ago, I was on the side of the track, picking up my shoe, and now Im here with an American flag, said Simpson, a 29-year-old from Boulder, Colorado. Thats always going to be a real special memory for me.Kipyegon took control with about 200 meters left, and only Dibaba had any sort of chance of catching the gold medalist.Simpson emergedd from the next group, edging another American, Shannon Rowbury, who wound up in fourth, about a half-second back.ddddddddddddI love feeling that stress on the last lap, Simpson said. I was one of the crowd who could maybe get third, so Im really happy.She was rather self-effacing about her post-run reaction, saying she had ugly cried.Maybe.But what was really significant, of course, was doing something that no woman from the United States had before in the middle-distance race.I want to be someone that this country can be real proud to cheer for. I didnt decide to want to be that person this week or this year. I decided I wanted to be that person eight or 10 years ago. Its been a long ride of highs and lows, Simpson said.Hopefully, she added, every American watching my race tonight -- I want them to think that they can take a small piece of ownership in this medal.
