Scott McLaughlin and Jamie Whincup have urged Supercars organisers to run longer races in New Zealands sole meet for next year after a bland days racing at Pukekohe Park on Saturday.In the series penultimate meet, there wasnt a successful overtaking move by the top seven drivers across 70 laps except for moves off the grid.The reversion to four 100km races has negated the use of pit-stops, and therefore any strategy as the drivers championship comes down to the wire.Hot competition between the series-leading Red Bull duo of Shane van Gisbergen and Jamie Whincup gave the big crowd plenty to cheer for, but it was hard to shake the impression that New Zealand racing fans were being short-changed.McLaughlin said the cost of crossing the Tasman Sea explained the decision to run shorter races and leave fuel rigs back in Australia.I personally dont like it, the 23-year-old said.I understand why we do it, saving costs and fuel rigs and all that.A strategy always mixes it up but at the end of the day weve got to think about the teams as well.Whincup agreed with his young colleague.Pit stops are good and I think we should do that over here, he said.I think we should come over here a couple of times as well if we can - or change a tyre.Then came a less serious suggestion from the six-time champion.Maybe a jump over the back straight would be cool, he joked.In addition to the lack of strategy, other factors contributed to the lack of movement through the field.The fast Pukekohe circuit has few turns suitable for overtaking.More races also means fewer points on offer for each race and a smaller incentive to make risky moves with not as much on the line.If you really wanted to move forward you had to have a really big crack and be a little bit more desperate than you would be, Chaz Mostert said.Well see if anyone else does some moves tomorrow.Van Gisbergen was the chief beneficiary of the format, qualifying at the front and grabbing a first and second place to maintain a 148-point lead.McLaughlin said both drivers and fans enjoyed longer races at Pukekohe and everyone would benefit by switching back to at least one 200km drive.The races weve had across the years is a testament to the series, he said.When we come out here and back to the old way and how we had problems, its obvious why we changed. Karl Joseph Jersey . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. Antonio Brown Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. http://www.cheapraidersjerseyschina.com/kolton-miller-jersey/ . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. Jim Plunkett Jersey . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Brian Burt Jersey . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. Northamptonshire could be facing a raid on their best players as rival clubs look to exploit their troubled financial situation.ESPNcricinfo understands that Olly Stone, Ben Duckett and Josh Cobb have all been targeted by other clubs who hope to sign them ahead of the 2017 season.While Stone is currently sidelined with an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament - a freak injury he sustained celebrating a wicket - the 22-year-old is seen as one of the most exciting young pace bowlers in England. ESPNcricinfo understands that Hampshire lead the race to secure his signature.Duckett, the third highest run-scorer in Division Two of the County Championship so far this season, is contracted at Northants until the end of 2017 but, as was the case with David Willey last year, the club could agree to release him should they agree a transfer fee with another club and Duckett decides he is prepared to leave.Ass a young player at one of the smaller clubs, though, he offers outstanding value to a rival club.dddddddddddd Precedent suggests any transfer fee is likely to be around 50 percent of his salary.Cobb, meanwhile, has the option of another year at the club but is waiting until later in the season before he decides what to do. It is understood he is of interest to several other clubs with a view to white ball cricket, in particular.Despite their well-chronicled off-field difficulties, Northants currently sit at the top of the North Division of the NatWest Blast table and can count both Duckett and Stone
