Mike McKennas departure as operations chief at Cricket Australia has led to another exit, with the long-serving head of events, Chris Loftus-Hills, also quitting to help McKenna oversee Perths new stadium.In more than a decade at CA, Loftus-Hills pulled together events at a moments notice, and managed such intricate functions as ticket sales and the back-end production of international matches, among other things.He joins the Perth Stadium team having already worked in collaboration with the Western Australia government and builders to prepare cricket facilities at the stadium, including the drop-in pitches to be used at the multi-purpose venue. It is set to host Perths Ashes Test next summer.I am excited to be joining Mike McKenna and the team that will bring to life the new Perth Stadium and deliverworld-class sport and entertainment events, Loftus-Hills said. My time at Cricket Australia has been a wonderful journey filled with incredible experiences. I would like to thank both Mike McKenna and James Sutherland who have given me such unique opportunities and supported me faultlessly during this time.It has been a pleasure to build programs and develop an outstanding team that delivers events for a sport that I am deeply passionate about and that is so important to so many Australians. I am very fortunate to be able to take with me a decade of special memories. I am very much looking forward to working with all the major sporting codes and other hirers to deliver a premium fan experience in a world-class facility that the people of Perth are going to be immensely proud of.The departure of Loftus-Hills contributes further to a significant drain of talent from the governing body, which in the past 12 months has lost a broad selection of staff from a wide variety of roles at its Jolimont headquarters. These include:Executive general manager (EGM) of business and advisory services EGM of operations Head of HR Head of communications Two womens team communications managers Legal counsel Two managers of schools and junior participation programs Community relations manager Hospitality manager Internal communications manager Big Bash League commercial managerThere are believed to have been a range of difficulties faced by staff beneath senior executive levels for some time, contributing to the high turnover. Roles at crickets governing body have always been in high demand, ensuring a steady flow of fresh candidates eager to take the places of those who walk away.Some issues raised have included a lack of time off in lieu for staff, and cramped working conditions at the Jolimont office, which has served as CAs Melbourne home since 2001, albeit with expansions to its upper floors. One minor concession to staff this season has been an internal memo stating that the wearing of ties in the office is no longer mandatory.A CA spokesperson declined to comment on Loftus-Hills exit.

The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period.Michael Smith has revealed his fright at sharing the oche with a record-breaking Michael van Gerwen two weeks ago. The Premier League Darts newcomer will play Gary Anderson this week, live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 7pm, and will be hoping for an easier ride than Van Gerwen gave him in Aberdeen.The mighty Dutchman recorded a highest ever televised average of 123.4 en route to a 7-1 victory that left Smiths jaw on the floor. I was just thinking when are you going to stop. When are you going to have a bad few legs? He never did. Michael Smith I just had to stand and watch, there was nothing I could do, Smith told Sky Sports. Even when I was nearing a finish, he was checking out the 132s and stuff like that. You were trying to get in to play, but he would not even let you. You just had to watch what he was doing.I was just hoping he would miss, so I could win a leg. I didnt was to get nil-ed! When he missed the double 18, I got a shot at the 116 and I checked it, I thought at least I got one. The debate has started. Is Michael van Gerwen the greatest darts player ever? I was just thinking when are you going to stop. When are you going to have a bad few legs? He never did.You have to try and focus on your own game, but it was hard to because Michael just didnt miss. He didnt let you concentrate whatsoever. Michael van Gerwen produced another inspired performance to take top spot of the Premier League last week Smith earned his maiden point of the Premier League after drawing with Dave Chisnall last week, giving him confidence to take into this weeks match against his mentor Anderson.ddddddddddddhe reigning champions absence through illness on the opening night forced Smith to play twice and the youngster is cheekily seeking revenge. Wayne Mardle and Rod Harrington debate whether Michael van Gerwen can replace Phil Taylor as the best darts player ever It was a bit hard to play two on my debut, he said. It was hard enough finding my feet in the first game, never mind playing my second. It would have been nice if [Anderson] was there, so I could have asked a few questions and it would have chilled me out a lot more.We are both going up there, both of us to win. We have played four times and its two-all. I wont say anything, because I know hell get me back one day! Ill just go up there to try and get the win.I was scared that I was going to end up with no wins and no points. To finally get the point against Chizzy and that win last week, I can relax and have fun.Watch Premier League Darts on Thursday live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 7pm.
