Former England allrounder Dimitri Mascarenhas has been appointed coach of the Australia U-16 side that will participate in the national U-17 Championships in Brisbane later this year. Mascarenhas had quit as New Zealands bowling coach at the end of the home series against Australia in February to spend more time with his family in Melbourne.Mascarenhas said Cricket Australia high performance chief Pat Howard was influential in his appointment. I had lots of meetings with lots of different people trying to get jobs and stuff, Mascarenhas said. I spoke quite a few times to Pat Howard to see what we could do and hes been really good. He said he would help in any way he could.Mascarenhas, who took over as New Zealands bowling coach after Shane Bond left following the 2015 World Cup, said his modus operandi would have to change in his new role.When I start talking about guys like Trent Boult and Kane Williamson their eyes just light up, he said. My language will have to change. Ill probably just have to bring in an Xbox and an iPad and theyll be happy.Mascarenhas represented England in 34 limited-overs games and played in 195 first-class, 268 List A and 130 T20 matches. I wish that when I was 18 to 24 I would have worked harder on my game. Its easy to get sucked up in the whole hype of it, getting paid to play cricket. Ben Zobrist Jersey . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. Kosuke Fukudome Jersey . Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the age of 17. She most recently played for Sky Blue FC of the National Womens Soccer League. "It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. http://www.cubsauthentic.com/ . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Greg Maddux Cubs Jersey . Perez, 35, posted a 1-2 record with a 3.69 earned-run average in 19 relief appearances last season. His season ended Aug. 9 due to a torn ligament in his left elbow.

Brad Brach Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. SAN ANTONIO -- The touchdowns came more easily back home in the desert. Down in Texas, the Arizona State Sun Devils found themselves in a grinder where every yard and score was tough to earn.Kalen Ballage scored on a 2-yard run with 3:15 to play and Arizona State rallied from 16 points down in the second half for a rugged 32-28 win over Texas-San Antonio on Friday night.Heavy favorites against a Conference USA program still in its infancy, the Sun Devils found themselves down early and fighting from behind nearly the entire game a week after putting up 68 points in a win over Texas Tech.Never give up, Arizona State linebacker DJ Calhoun said, adding his team was probably a bit cocky after its previous win. We came in here thinking we could just run past this team. We fought. Never give up.Arizona State scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Ballage, who tied an NCAA record with eight touchdowns against Texas Tech, capped the rally when he took a direct snap and powered over the goal line. The touchdown was set up by a defensive pass interference penalty on third down one play earlier.Zane Gonzalez kicked four field goals, including two from 54 yards, for Arizona State (3-0) and became the Pac-12 career scoring leader.Manny Wilkins passed for 264 yards and two touchdowns for the Sun Devils.

His 45-yard pass to Frederick Gammage in the fourth quarter cut the UTSA lead to 28-25.Wilkins shook off what looked like a ferocious hit in the first quarter and didnt miss a play.I dont ever sit on the floor, Wilkins. Im going to get up and go to the next play. Ive got a fighters mentality.Dalton Sturm passed for 229 yards and three touchdowns for UTSA (1-2). He also ran for 82 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown in the third quarter that had the Roadrunners thinking about a program-changing upset.Proud of the effort we had,, Sturm said.dddddddddddd But I felt like everybody else in the locker room: It hurts.THE TAKEAWAYARIZONA STATE: It was a victorious but ragged trip home for coach Todd Graham. The Sun Devils found themselves with a lingering hangover after their touchdown party in the desert last week. The points were much tougher to come by in the Alamodome as the Sun Devils were plagued by turnovers and drives that stalled and settled for field goals. Kalen Ballage produced little against the Roadrunners until the game-winning drive and even set up a Roadrunners touchdown with a fumbled punt return.That was as hard of a win as weve had, Graham said. We showed a lot of youth and made a lot of youthful mistakes.UTSA: If one game can be a confidence builder and a crusher, this is it. The Roadrunners are playing just their sixth season of football and punched above their weight for nearly four quarters, but couldnt hold on against an opponent from a Power 5 conference. First-year coach Frank Wilson will ache about letting this one get away, but at least he found the quarterback that should lead the Roadrunners into their Conference USA schedule.We believe we can play with anybody in the country, UTSA safety Michael Egwuagu said. We believed that coming in and we believe it after.UP NEXTARIZONA STATE: The Sun Devils start Pac-12 play at home against California on Sept. 24.UTSA: The Roadrunners play at Old Dominion on Sept. 24 to start their Conference USA schedule.DEFENSIVE CRACKDOWNAfter a 92-yard touchdown drive to start the third quarter, the Roadrunners gained just 51 yards the rest of the half. Arizona States defense allowed only one first down over UTSAs final five possessions.FINAL WORDIm as happy as Ive been after a win, Graham said. All that matters is we found a way to do it. ' ' '
