On Ford Australias saddest day, Supercars driver Chaz Mostert gave the Falcon faithful something to cheer about at Mount Panorama.The same day Ford Australias factories closed their doors for the last time, Falcon driver Mostert managed to provide Bathurst 1000 qualifyings feel-good story.One year after his horror qualifying crash, Mostert topped the timesheets for most of Fridays 40-minute session before being relegated to fourth in a frenzied finish.Holdens Jamie Whincup - four-time Bathurst winner - claimed provisional pole.Mostert might have missed top spot ahead of Saturdays top-10 shootout which will determine the front of the grid for Sundays Great Race.Yet he still achieved plenty.The Ford gun finally exorcised his demons 12 months after his spectacular qualifying crash on the mountain.Mosterts 2015 Bathurst title defence was abruptly ended after he broke his leg and was airlifted to hospital following his spectacular qualifying crash.Its unbelievable, Mostert said.This time last year, I just got reminded that I was carted off in an ambulance and, this time, I qualified for the top-10 shootout - pretty stoked.Twelve months since the big crash and all the people that have backed me all the way, I cant really thank them enough.It marked the first time Mostert had officially completed Bathurst qualifying in his fourth Mount Panorama campaign, famously winning the 2014 Great Race from last on the starting grid.Mosterts effort provided a silver lining to the dark cloud hanging over Ford on Friday.About 600 manufacturing workers lost their jobs when Ford Australia closed its factories at Geelong and Broadmeadows in Melbournes north, ending 91 years of production.The two Ford Supercars teams will still race Falcons next year but the brand looks set to disappear by 2018, possibly replaced by Mustangs.It would mark the end of an era.Falcons have won the Great Race 14 times since first contesting Bathurst in 1967, beginning their famous rivalry with Holden.Ford factory workers are believed to be driving in a convoy to Mount Panorama this weekend to salute the Falcon.Fords No.1 driver Mark Winterbottom - the series defending champion - hoped to provide a fitting send-off.It is emotional, Winterbottom said.It would be nice to send the Falcon out on the high it deserves.Former Bathurst champion Winterbottom was seventh fastest ahead of the shootout.Well tune her up and try and get a little bit better and see if we can start somewhere up the front, he said.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Jesse Lingard Jersey .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. Ashley Young Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Australias selectors have pushed still further towards youth, ignoring Mitchell Marsh in order to draft his Western Australia team-mate Hilton Cartwright into the Boxing Day Test squad as all-round cover for a bowling attack heavily fatigued by their Gabba exertions.Cartwright, who had already been included in the Chappell-Hadlee ODI squad to face New Zealand but did not play, is an allrounder whose virtues have been pushed by the interim selector Greg Chappell in particular, as part of the developmental Cricket Australia XI that first played in the Matador Cup two summers ago.Last season he graduated to the Western Australia state side and performed strongly with the bat in the Sheffield Shield, something he has backed up this season to average 44.50 across 16 first-class matches. His bowling record is less notable, with a career tally of 15 first-class wickets at 41.93 and only four wickets at 74.75 in the current Shield campaign.However, the acting selection chairman Trevor Hohns emphasised the desire for a batting allrounder to take a place in the top six, a role Marsh has been unable to adequately fill over time. The decision also means the incumbent No.6, Nic Maddinson, could face the axe after three Test innings of 0, 1 and 4 in Adelaide and Brisbane.The bowlers got through a high workload in Brisbane and although everyone has pulled up okay, on reflection we wanted to give ourselves the option of including an allrounder in Melbourne to ease that workload somewhat, Hohns said.To do that, we wanted a batting allrounder, someone to bowl seam-up and capable of batting in the top six as well, and after considering several names we came to the conclusion that Hilton fits that bill. We have seen plenty of him, he has performed well this season and we believe that if called upon he will do an excellent job.Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood each bowled 56 overs during the win over Pakistan at the Gabba, which for both men was their biggest workload not only in a Test match but in any first-class game. Jackson Bird sent down 45 overs, his highest tally in a Test. As such, the selection shift away from an allrounder, which took place when Marsh was dropped following the first Test of the summer, has been rethought.It depends on what sort of wickets you play on, Australias coach, Darren Lehmann, said after the win in Brisbane. You would have probably liked to have an extra bowling option in this game but we went with the six batsmen, four bowlers and they got the job done, albeit a lot of work into our quicks.Should Cartwright become Australiass 450th Test cricketer when the XI is confirmed for Boxing Day, it would mean an uncertain Test future for Maddinson.dddddddddddd On debut at Adelaide Oval, Maddinson was bowled for a 12-ball duck by Kagiso Rabada, while at the Gabba he was dropped on 0, then caught behind for 1 in the first innings. In the second, he was caught hooking for 4 as Australia sought quick runs and a declaration.Weve had two pink-ball Test matches, so red-ball Test coming up and we know hes a fine player, Lehmann said of Maddinson on Monday, before Cartwright was added to the squad. Hes just got to believe at this level. I actually thought he did a really good team thing the other day [in the second innings].I know there was some talk in the commentary and media that he probably could have gone up the order and done that, but Steves really strong on keeping the batting order very similar. So he came in for two balls, tried to get the game moving as quickly as he could. So I disregard the second innings of this one, and weve got some red-ball cricket coming up, so Im sure hell do okay.Another member of Australias new-look side who will be keen to justify the faith of the selectors is wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, who replaced Peter Nevill ahead of the Adelaide Test. The selectors preferred Wades batting fight down the order and although he scored two Test centuries in his previous incarnation in the baggy green, he has not made double figures since his recall.Wades work behind the stumps has also left a little to be desired. In Adelaide, he failed to move for a chance when Hashim Amla edged Mitchell Starc and first slip Matt Renshaw ultimately spilled the chance with his left hand. At the Gabba, Wade missed a stumping chance off Nathan Lyon when Sarfraz Ahmed had 31 in the first innings; he went on to make 59 not out. He also appeared to miss a possible catch when Yasir Shah tickled down leg off Starc late in Pakistans chase.Obviously his batting ability, although he hasnt got any runs at the moment, Lehmann said when asked what Wade brought to the squad. Hes been working pretty hard with that. And his energy behind the stumps. Hed like to keep better obviously, but I thought hes improved his keeping out of sight in the last 12 to 18 months from where we were.Peter Nevill is obviously a very good keeper as well. Its a tight call whichever way you go. But Matthews got the chance to nail down the spot and well see how he goes in Melbourne. ' ' '
