Australias plans for the Test series against South Africa have been upset by a hamstring injury to Shaun Marsh, making him an unlikely starter for the opening match at the WACA Ground in Perth.Marsh, who has a long history of hamstring trouble, suffered the injury while batting for Western Australia against Tasmania in a Matador Cup match at North Sydney Oval on Saturday.Shaun Marsh has sustained a low grade tear to his right hamstring while batting against Tasmania at North Sydney Oval on Saturday, a WACA spokesman said. Marsh will return to Perth where he will undergo rehabilitation with a view to being available for selection for the first Test against South Africa at the WACA Ground next month.Before the injury, Marsh had seemed likely to retain his place in the top six after making a century on his recall to the Test team in the third Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August.Marsh had played in place of Joe Burns, with Usman Khawaja making way for Moises Henriques. Khawaja is expected to be recalled for the home Tests, and Burns may now also find himself back in the team pending Marshs recovery.While Marsh opened alongside David Warner in Sri Lanka, he would have been more likely to assume a middle-order role in Australia.

When Howard wasnt using his glove or pads to deny Toews, Detroits skaters were rattling him and his teammates with a physical presence that is clearly making them uncomfortable. "They are getting frustrated," Howard said. "Our guys are doing a great job in front of the net." Chicagos Corey Crawford did a solid job in his net, but he couldnt kick his right leg out quick enough to stop Jakub Kindls shot on a power play midway through the second period and he was on the bench in favour of an extra skater when Daniel Cleary sealed the victory in the final minute. After losing Game 1, seventh-seeded Detroit has surged into control by handing the Blackhawks their first three-game losing streak of the year. Game 5 is Saturday night in Chicago. "The pressure is on them," Detroit defenceman Jonathan Ericsson said. Yes, it is. And, no one in the Windy City will want to extend the series more than Toews. "Weve got to find a way to force a Game 6," he said. The Blackhawks desperately need their captain to score and lead after he extended his goal drought in a composure-crumbling performance. Toews was called for three penalties in the second — two for high-sticking — and couldve gone to the box a fourth time in the period for slashing Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg while an official stood between them. "Emotions run high in some of these games, and my stick got a little loose there," he said. "I was playing hard. Sometimes that happens." The Red Wings took advantage of the second power play Toews gave them when Kindl sent a low shot to the near corner from the top of the left circle. "Wed like to keep him in the box," Ericsson said. "Hes not as good for them in the box." Chicago had killed its first 30 penalties of the playoffs and matched the 2001 St. Louis Blues feat of playing eight post-season games without giving up a power-play goal, the longest such streak since 1988. The Blackhawks had a power play with 4:45 left in the game when Kindl was called for hooking, but they couldnt tie the game. Crawford made 25 saves and allowed one goal, after giving up seven goalls in the previous two games.dddddddddddd Howard was just a little bit better, earning his first shutout of this post-season and the second of his career in the playoffs. He has helped the Red Wings win five of their last six games since trailing Anaheim 3-2 in the first round. "He has kind of been in a groove for a while now," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "And, we need that to be successful." Kindl scored his first goal of his first post-season, keeping up a trend that has helped the rapidly improving Red Wings pull within a win of their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 2009 when they got past Chicago and went on to lose Game 7 in a Stanley Cup finals rematch against Pittsburgh. Detroits young players — six playing in their first playoff season — have been contributing to help out stars Pavel Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Red Wings rookie Brendan Smith scored the winner in Game 2 at Chicago to even the series. First-year player Damien Brunner and Gustav Nyquist, who was pointless in his first four post-season games last year, had goals in overtimes against the second-seeded Ducks. Chicagos 25-year-old centre, Toews, should seemingly be in the prime of his career, but he is in a slump against a team that appears to be getting to him physical and mentally. Toews was called for three penalties in the first 11 minutes of a period for the first time in his career, according to STATS. He has gone 10 post-season games without a goal — dating to last years playoffs — in what is the longest scoring skid for a former Conn Smythe winner since Claude Lemieux went 20 games without a goal from 2000 through 2009, according to STATS. Toews, who has three goals in his last 30 playoff games, broke a tie for his second longest streak without a goal in the post-season and trails his 14-game skid that spanned 2010 and 2011. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville insisted Toews, who he put on a line with Patrick Kane, is doing a lot of things well. "We dont measure just his contribution offensively," Quenneville said. NOTES: Detroit D Danny DeKeyser, who broke his right thumb in the first round and was ruled out for the playoffs, said he is holding out hope that he can come back if his teammates can advance. ... Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2010, Chicago has lost in the first round twice and is a loss away from a second-round exit. ...... Chicago hadnt given up a power-play goal since April 22. ' ' '
