Derbyshire 282 for 8 (Hosein 79*, A Hughes 55) v Leicestershire Scorecard A career-best unbeaten 79 from Harvey Hosein rescued Derbyshire on the opening day of the Division Two match against Leicestershire at Derby.The home side had slipped to 151 for 5, despite a half century from Alex Hughes, with Charlie Shreck taking three wickets but Hosein took advantage of a bad miss by Rob Sayer to steer his side to a respectable 282 for 8 when bad light ended play early.Derbyshire were trying to avoid becoming the first team in the countys history since 1924 to go through a season without winning a Championship game but they started badly after Leicestershire decided to bowl first.There was certainly some early movement for Clint McKay who nipped one back to trap Billy Godleman in front in the seventh over of the morning and he should have had Ben Slater in his next over but Richard Jones spilled a simple catch at point.It was not an expensive miss because Slater completely mistimed a drive at Shrecks first ball and chipped a gently catch to mid-off but that was Leicestershires last success before lunch as Hughes and Wayne Madsen played carefully to put the innings back on track.Madsen had bagged a pair in the previous game but he was looking set when Jones moved one away just enough to draw him into playing and give Ned Eckersley his first of four catches.Hughes was less convinced he got a touch against Shreck three overs later and he had Neil Broom taken at first slip in his next over to leave Derbyshire facing another first innings failure.Tom Wood was stuck on 8 for 40 balls on his first-class debut before Neil Dexter bowled the 22-year-old but Hosein played positively from the start although he should have been dismissed on 32 but Sayer fumbled a straight-forward return catch.With help from Tom Milnes and Tony Palladino, Hosein guided Derbyshire to a second batting point as Leicestershire began to unravel in the closing stages of the day.Hosein was given another life on 78 when he drove at McKay and Harry Dearden on his senior debut dropped the catch at second slip before the umpires decided that even with the floodlights on, the light was not good enough for play to continue shortly before 5pm.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach.

"The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The King is already contemplating his reign coming to a close.LeBron James, on the opening day of training camp for his 14th NBA season, said that the retirements of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and most recently Kevin Garnett have caused him to think about when he and his contemporaries will play their final games.It feels like our era is next, James said Tuesday. Thats what it feels like. Me, [Dwyane] Wade, [Carmelo Anthony], [Chris] Bosh. Were next. Were on deck. Were the next group behind those guys. I mean seriously, if you look at it, were the next group. So thats one of the first things that I thought about, like, once Dirk [Nowitzki], and Vince [Carter], and Paul Pierce decide to go, were next. You just dont take it for granted. Every time we come out here, we talk to you guys, step out on the floor, were going to play this game, we love it, but were on deck.James signed a three-year extension this summer that will keep him in the league at least through the 2017-18 season should he play it out.Pierce announced Monday that 2016-17 would be his 19th and final season. He is one of three remaining members of the 1998 draft class still active, along with Nowitzki and Carter.James came into the league in 2003 along with Anthony, Wade and Bosh. They have already outlasted several other notable names from their draft class, including Darko Milicic (selected No. 2) and T.J. Ford (No. 8).A visiting reporter asked James if he thought he could add to his three championships and amass as many as six, seven or eight rings before he is finished playing -- as he once suggested during a pep rally when he joined the Miami Heat.Nah, I dont do that anymore, James said. Last time I did that, everyone wanted to make a headline about ranking off how many chhampionships I was going to win.dddddddddddd For me, its just about maximizing each season, going out and playing my game, leading this team and at the end of the season see what happens, so nothing is promised and we just have to earn our way once again for another season.The reporter followed up by asking the 31-year-old James if he was satisfied with his place in league history already.What? Im not answering that, James replied. You even asking me a question like that is crazy.James was later asked if he considers his very best behind him and shot back, No. Thats insulting. Another reporter followed up on James baseball analogy and asked if that meant he was simply taking a long walk to the plate from the batters circle.I said we was on deck, James quipped, not that I was a DH [designated hitter].On a serious note, retirement could come sooner for Bosh than the rest of his fellow heralded 03 draftees. Miami president Pat Riley said Monday that Boshs Heat career is probably over after a blood clotting condition caused the two-time champion to fail a team physical.I stand behind my brother Chris, and the most important thing is his health, James said. So whatever decision he wants to do, and go forward, Im all for it. Ill support him in any way, shape or facet. Obviously we all know its probably a difficult situation for him, and its pretty surprised a little bit to hear that the team is just done with him, and then to come out and say it. Its not like Ive been there, to know exactly whats going on in the interior. So Ive only seen it from the exterior like the rest of us. So, um, I just wish the best for him and he has my support.
