Ivan Franjic can still recall the frightening August night he was awoken by chest pain.The Melbourne City defender had been suffering from a rare inflammatory condition that, unbeknown to him at the time, was impacting his heart.Called myocarditis, the condition was brought on by a virus and hit during pre-season when he was least expecting it.I had a virus, I was sick for one week, then one night I woke up in the middle of the night and my chest and heart were hurting, Franjic said.I went to hospital and ended up staying there for six days.Its something that, at the time, was very frustrating and disappointing, and I didnt know if I was ever going to play this beautiful game again.City didnt know either, and the club understandably couldnt put a date on Franjics return.It couldnt have come at a worse time for the 29-year-old, who had been at his fittest since sustaining a bad hamstring injury at the 2014 World Cup in Rio.Id been coming back from good conditioning into pre-season, and just to get a setback like that is something I never expected, Franjic said.It just shows you cant take anything for granted in life because it can happen at any time.But the heart specialist said its all clear, I just have to get a check-up here and there just to make sure in the future.Franjic recounts the tough times in the knowledge theyre finally behind him, having played six minutes in Friday nights 1-0 loss to Brisbane to build on last months three-minute FFA Cup semi-final cameo.He hopes to get a longer stint against Newcastle on Thursday night, though the Socceroos are also in the back of his mind.Franjic hasnt played for Australia since June last year before his injury-affected first season at City.Yet he knows Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou is still on the hunt for a more permanent right-back.Im always an ambitious person, Franjic said.The most important thing is I get back playing for Melbourne City, playing well, and then anything can happen.Its a long time in between camps but Ive got a lot to look forward to with City.Im ready for however long they need me - if its one minute or 90.

Jaromir Jagr Capitals Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. Jeet Ravals match-aggregate of 91 in a low-scorer has made him a possible solution to New Zealands opening woes, but he is a player that had piqued the selectors interest for some time, coach Mike Hesson said. One of the steadier hands in domestic cricket, Raval has averaged less than 40 in only one of the past eight first-class seasons. A correct batsman who favours the leg-side, Raval was an assured presence on debut, both with bat in hand, and in the slip cordon.For Jeet to make his debut in conditions like this where hes performed in over the last few years, was great, Hesson said. I thought his decision-making throughout was exceptional, especially around whether to leave or to defend. He stuck to his game plan - hes very disciplined and knows what that is. He was challenged over, and around the wicket. He was tested with short balls and swing. He stood up to all of them. I thought against Yasir Shah he showed he could come down the wicket, pick off his pads, and lap. He never went outside his plan even when he was challenged, which is a great sign.New Zealands other debutant, Colin de Grandhomme, had also been in the selectors sights for years. He earned his place in the Test squad after hitting a 144 not out off 147 balls, in an extraordinary chase of 373 in a first-class match, on November 1.Colin has been a talented player for a long time, but weve sort of been waiting for something to click - for him to show that hes worked out how to play at first-class level first, Hesson said. In the last six months weve seen some good signs of that, with bat and ball. It was just a matter of time really,, whether it be short-form or long-form.dddddddddddd He needed to work out his own game plan. People do mature at different stages. In this instance Colin is probably slightly a late maturer, but hes got plenty of years left in him.Though de Grandhomme himself admitted batting was his foremost suit, it was with the ball that he made the biggest impression, taking 7 for 64 in the Test, and sparking Pakistans second-day collapse which allowed New Zealand to take control of the match. New Zealand had a more experienced allrounder in James Neesham in their squad, but had surprisingly opted for de Grandhomme instead.No one thought Colin was playing a couple of days out, Hesson said. But he was presented with a surface that suited his skill set. Hes been doing that in first class cricket for years, on that type of wicket. Weve got scouts and selectors all around the country who watch a lot of cricket.The teams now head to Hamilton, where New Zealand have the opportunity to defeat Pakistan in a Test series for the first time since 1985 - though, said Hesson, the chance to alter that particular record doesnt necessarily motivate his side.Weve had a lot of series recently where if you do this, or if you do that, you could create something. Well wait and see. Weve got to enjoy the last three days which have been an incredibly good performance. Well enjoy and suck that up for a little bit. When we get to Hamilton well think about Hamilton.Both teams are scheduled to travel on Tuesday. ' ' '
