Gloucestershire 69 for 0 trail Leicestershire 334 (Dexter 136, McKay 55, Cosgrove 54, Norwell 4-72) by 265 runsScorecard Leicestershire have decided against replacing Keith Piper on their coaching staff after the surprise announcement that the former Warwickshire wicketkeeper has left the club by mutual consent.Pipers responsibilities as elite development coach under the direction of elite performance director Andrew McDonald will pass to Pierre de Bruyn, who is currently 2nd XI and assistant skills coach, with academy director Nic Pothas becoming more involved with the 2nd XI.Leicester-born Piper, who was part of Warwickshires treble-winning team in 1994, worked with the county last season and impressed enough to be appointed as McDonalds number two in October but, according to the club, domestic distractions have impacted on his effectiveness this season.Chief executive Wasim Khan said: It is a blow for us to lose Keith because he had done very well but unfortunately he has had some family issues and it just wasnt working out.Leicestershire would have had no shortage of applicants had they decided to advertise for a replacement for Piper, who also broke his ankle earlier this season during warm-ups on the second day of the tour match against the Sri Lankans. Graeme Welch, who recently quit as Derbyshires elite performance director, Chris Adams and Kadeer Ali, the brother of England allrounder Moeen Ali, might have been candidates.But Khan said Leicestershire would not be approaching anyone to fill the vacancy. With the staff we have we feel we can cover for Keiths loss, he said. Pierre and Nic will each move up a level and everyone will pitch in to cover any gaps.Rain restricted play to 45.3 overs on the second day of the Championship match against Gloucestershire at Grace Road but there was long enough for Leicestershire to turn their overnight 252 for 7 to 334 all out, which they would probably feel was a reasonable outcome, given that the visitors chose to bowl first.Neil Dexter and Clint McKay, the not out batsmen overnight, extended their eighth-wicket partnership to 86 before Dexter fell on 136 to a fine catch at second slip off Liam Norwell, who then accounted for McKay when the Australian pace bowler, who had hit seven fours and two sixes in an aggressive run-a-ball 55, skied an attempt to launch another maximum.The benefits the pairs experience brought to the innings underlined Khans belief that Leicestershire can be promotion contenders this season only a year after ending a 37-match winless streak and finishing in last place three seasons in a row.We went into this match in joint third place and although the fact that only one team is promoted this season makes it more of a challenge we are ambitious, he said. We feel we have a competitive side this year with some depth in the squad.The new signings - Paul Horton, Neil Dexter and Mark Pettini - have made a difference. They were on a list of targets we identified as having experience but also plenty of cricket in them and we were delighted that they all had belief in our vision and were hungry for the challenge. They were all offered new deals by their own counties but chose to join us.The younger guys on the staff have been through the mill and the confidence among the batsmen in particular had taken some knocks.But with the older players already here we now have a core of about five or six senior members of the squad who are leaders on and off the field.Gloucestershire will resume on 69 without loss. Richard Jones, back at Grace Road for his second spell on loan from Warwickshire, shared the new ball with McKay but neither could make a breakthrough against Chris Dent and Gareth Roderick on a pitch that looked to have settled down as a good batting surface. Anthony Beauvillier Jersey . With his new coach and six-time Grand Slam singles champion Boris Becker watching him during an official match for the first time, Djokovic appeared tentative early against the Slovakian player, who often appeared content to keep the ball in play. Calvin de Haan Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. http://www.hockeyislandersonline.us/Jordan-Eberle-Jersey/ . Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Robin Salo Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Mathew Barzal Jersey . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. Traded from Seattle to Baltimore on Aug. 30, Morse also can play first base and right field to give manager Bruce Bochy some flexibility in writing his lineup. Lynden Dunn has vowed to prove the haters wrong and play on at AFL level for another three or four years, and has also revealed hes eyeing a possible NFL punting career once he hangs up his footy boots.Dunn, one of Caseys best in Sundays VFL grand final loss to Western Bulldogs, only played four senior matches for Melbourne in 2016, having averaged 20 per year over the past four seasons.The key defender, 29, is contracted for next year and believes hes capable of playing beyond the end of that deal. But - with reports of interest at rival clubs -- he conceded he wasnt sure whether that would be for the Demons, or elsewhere.I love playing footy. My season didnt go as planned - to play only four [AFL] games is disappointing but Im not the first person to be in this position and I wont be the last, Dunn told ESPN in a sombre Casey changerooms at Etihad Stadium.Im certainly not going to roll over and let my career dwindle away - Im looking forward to getting back and playing senior AFL footy. I need a break, its been a long year, but I still think Ive got three or four years left of AFL footy. Hopefully I can prove the haters wrong.The 165-game veteran said the thought of finishing as a one-club player was appealing, but added he had to weigh up all his options if it became clear he may struggle for senior opportunities at the Demons next season.Being a one-club player has always been very important to me. But Ive got to sit down with my family and go through a few things, he said. I dont want to leave but there might be an opportunity elsewhere - Ill have to look at that. Buut I havent thought about it yet as Ive been focusing on trying to win a VFL premiership, which didnt happen.ddddddddddddve been around 12 years now - what you see is what you get. I need to keep backing myself in and tidy up a few areas but Im still confident I can play at the highest level. I turn 30 next year but that doesnt mean a great deal - blokes are running around who are almost 40 these days, so Im looking forward to having a break and weighing everything up.Dunn did his best to keep the Bulldogs at bay in Sundays VFL grand final, repeatedly repelling their advances before the weight of numbers eventually took their toll.He was involved in plenty of niggle during the contest, and also showcased his powerful kick to be one of the Scorpions best.Dunn confirmed to ESPN he was considering a NFL punting career, but stressed he would only go down that path once his AFL career was over.Its in the back of my mind, definitely, he said. Ive always said Ill never cut my AFL career short because I love the game and I love our club, but if that opportunity arose, I would [look at it].Ive got a bit of work to do though - I think I tried to kick about eight barrels today and shanked all of them, so hopefully no one was watching them ... but its definitely an interest of mine. And you certainly dont have to run as far, being a punter, which is exciting as Im sick of running in pre-seasons.Its an interest, but how far I pursue that, Ill wait and see.
