Derbyshires director of cricket, Kim Barnett, said: He is an experienced match-winner who will also help our talented youngsters.Meanwhile, John Sadler, who was Derbyshire coach during a disastrous 2016 campaign, which included a winless Championship campaign in Division Two, has left the county by mutual consent.Sadlers departure became likely after Barnett announced a comprehensive restructuring of the coaching department. John Wright, the former India and New Zealand coach, has already been named as a specialist T20 coach - the first such appointment in county cricket.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Neither Arizona Coyotes coach Dave Tippett nor Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette are willing to pin their teams early-season struggles entirely on goaltending. There are myriad issues facing each team as they muddle through sluggish starts.That said, Tippett noted that his teams win over San Jose on Tuesday marked the first game this season in which a Coyotes goalie had posted a save percentage above the league average.A save here or there would make a big difference in how were looking at things right now, said Tippett, who got a career-high 39 saves from backup Louis Domingue against the Sharks. It can clean up a lot of other mistakes.The Coyotes at least have a fair excuse in net. Starter Mike Smith has been out since suffering a left leg injury in the second game of the season at Ottawa that still has him listed as week-to-week. That has forced Domingue and third-string goalie Justin Peters to fill in.For Nashville, the goaltending struggles have come down to a once-elite player underperforming. Entering Thursdays game against the Coyotes at Gila River Arena, Predators goalie Pekka Rinne (2-4-1) is tied for 22nd in NHL save percentage at .914 and owns a 2.88 goals-against average, which ranks 31st.Its a team sport. But, inside a team sport, its an individual position, Rinne told the Tennessean on Thursday. Every single goal you give up matters and it shows in your statistics, so its easy to look at those statistics and let that show you how youre playing.Ive learned not to look at those numbers. Eventually, if you keep doing the right thing, playing well and working hard, those things are going to take care of (themselves).Rinnes season has been a story of inconsistency. He has posted a save percentage at or above .917 four times. In the three other games, his nnumbers were .dddddddddddd905, .765 and .885. He stopped 28 of 29 shots in a 5-1 win at Colorado on Tuesday -- a performance the Predators hope will spark a good run.We need and he needs to be part of the solution to get us out of this, GM David Poile told the Tennessean. Higher save percentage, the save at the right time. Do I think hes playing good? Yes, I do. Do I think he can play better? We need him to play better, just like the same thing Id say with the forwards and defensemen. Everybodys got to take their game up a notch.For the Coyotes, Smith skated for the first time in equipment on Wednesday, but he is still at least a week away from returning to game action. That means Domingue will shoulder the brunt of the load, including Thursdays game. Domingue has been plagued by soft goals this season, but he is hoping Tuesdays performance against the Sharks will get him back to the form he displayed last season when Smith missed three months for surgery on a core muscle.I was feeling good, but Ive been feeling good almost all year, Domingue said. It was just a matter of being focused for 60 minutes and getting the job done.Tippett said Wednesday that center Martin Hanzal was going for more tests after leaving Tuesdays game with an upper-body injury. He is questionable for the Predators game. Left winger Tobias Rieder (left leg) is probable after leaving Tuesdays game following a shot block. Defenseman Michael Stone (upper body) will miss his third straight game and sixth of the season.For the Predators, center Mike Fisher (upper body) is day-to-day and could play, while left winger Miikka Salomaki (upper body) and defenseman Anthony Bitetto (upper body) are out.
