First-year Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente has been impressed with how fans of the No. 23 Hokies show up everywhere they play.Theyll likely be well-represented Saturday at Duke.The schools are separated by about 165 mostly highway miles, so its not a hard trip. And while Duke (3-5, 0-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) is having an off year after recent success under coach David Cutcliffe, the Hokies (6-2, 4-1) are experiencing a resurgence and in position to capture the leagues Coastal Division title.The Blue Devils have struggled to fill their 40,000-seat stadium, and with their last three home crowds averaging nearly 18,000 empty seats, that historically means lots of room for fans clad in maroon and orange.Oh, its been great, Fuente said of the following, which also made its presence known last Thursday night at Pittsburgh. ... It was kind of odd last week. Usually theyre all kind of in one spot. Last week, they were kind of separated throughout the stadium. Ive said this before, but its very nice to work at a place that really wants to support what your kids are doing on a weekly basis, whether theyve got to drive a couple hours or not. Our kids certainly notice it. I know that.It helps that the Hokies are back in the Top 25 after several seasons of struggling heading into November, and sometimes even into the final game, just to keep their bowl streak going.Already assured of extending their nation-best streak to 24 straight bowl appearances, they have set their sights higher. Though they arent looking ahead, earlier this season they climbed to No. 17 in the Top 25 , then stumbled mightily at Syracuse, losing 31-17 .Wide receiver Isaiah Ford said everyone remembers how deflating that defeat was.Any time that things come about that were talking about ... the game this week, thats the first thing that comes out is, `Hey, you know what? Weve had this happen to us before. And lets learn from it, he said.Syracuse, however, is a nearly 600-mile drive from Blacksburg, Virginia, and Ford, a junior, has come to count on the Virginia Tech fan base being well represented, especially in games a reasonable distance away.Every game is a home game when you play at Virginia Tech, the programs career leader with 23 touchdown receptions said. Our fans travel and they travel well and travel in packs. And its amazing and its a privilege. When our fans are cheering louder than theirs, it speaks volumes about our fan base.Ford is just eight receptions away from passing Jarrett Boykin as the Hokies career leader with 185 catches, and needs just 363 receiving yards to supplant Boykin as the schools career receiving yards leader.He has an outside chance to break both records this season, but whenever he does, he can pretty much rest assured that there will be plenty of fans of the Hokies there to celebrate the milestone achievements.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjrAnders Bjork Jersey .500 on the season.

On Wednesday, Dhoni left Taylor smiling wryly after running him out with a cunning back-hand flick, with sunglasses on. Taylor had just heaved a length ball to the left of Dhawal Kulkarni at fine leg. The fielder swiftly collected the ball and threw it at chest height to Dhoni, who nonchalantly deflected it back onto the leg stump - as he often does - his back facing the crease. Cue in massive cheers from Dhonis home crowd. The Mishra drop I Amit Mishra is the second-oldest member in Indias squad, behind Dhoni, and probably the least athletic of the lot. Mishras issues in the field were put in the spotlight in the seventh over. Martin Guptill, who was in the mood to hit out, had looked to shovel an Umesh Yadav slower ball straight down the ground. The lack of pace meant Guptill dragged it in the air to the left of mid-on. Mishra lumbered in, dived, but the ball merely grazed his left hand and bobbled onto the ground. Not a straightforward chance by any measure, but Mishra could have had a go had he reacted quicker.The Mishra drop II The day would get worse for Mishra in the field. After dropping Guptill on 29, Mishhra botched a much simpler catch at long-off when Guptill was on 62.dddddddddddd Seeing a short, wide delivery, Guptill belted it down the ground. It could have been a regulation catch for Mishra had he stayed on the edge of the long-off boundary. Instead, he ran in. Realising he had misjudged the ball, he did not leap as he stretched his hands upwards to intercept the ball. It wasnt enough. The ball went over his head and then plonked behind him for a one-bounce four. Scott Styris, who was on TV commentary at the time, quipped: Guptill picked out the right fielder. Guptill went on to make 72.Latham shows them how its done Latham plucked two sharp catches, which highlighted the gulf between the two teams in the field, towards the end of the chase. When Manish Pandey unleashed a fierce bottom-handed shovel against a Tim Southee slower ball in the air in the 33rd over, Latham timed his jump to perfection and took with catch with both his hands over his head at mid-on. Mitchell Santner, who was at midwicket, also leapt in his position in a neat synchronised routine. Three overs later, Latham ran to his left from wide long-off to track down a loft from Hardik Pandya with precision. ' ' '
