Dean Jones quietly rescinded his Cricket Victoria life membership on the weekend. Now we know exactly why. 🔥🔥🔥 9WWOS Cricket
Victoria's two BBL franchises, the Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades, were previously run by independent boards and chief executives but were brought under the Cricket Victoria umbrella last year.According to Jones, former teammate Shane Warne is also less than impressed with Cricket Victoria
Jones claimed former players like Shane Warne, Damien Fleming, Merv Hughes, Darren Berry and Simon O'Donnell all have some sort of axe to grind with Cricket Victoria. Jones, who is the coach of Pakistan Super League side Karachi Kings, applied for the top jobs at the Stars and Renegades last year, but was overlooked in favour of David Hussey and Michael Klinger, neither of whom had previous senior coaching experience.
"These are proper blue-chip jobs to get but yet they've given jobs for the boys and I think it's an insult, not just to me, but overseas ," Jones said."People will be listening and saying "Oh, Deano's up to his own thing' but it's not ... I just feel that the lack of respect shown to the past players and how the game is being run within Cricket Victoria is poor.

Unanimous High Court decision 'casts doubt' on the Vic criminal justice system | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the High Court’s “unanimous decision repudiating years of vile attacks against Cardinal George Pell” was a “stunning intervention in the most controversial court case since Lindy Chamberlain”. \n\nMr Jones said the unity displayed by the High Court judges in the seven-nil ruling “prompts the question of how Victoria’s Criminal Justice system allowed the case against Pell to proceed so far”.\n\nAccording to the High Court, there was 'a significant possibility that an innocent person had been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof,” Mr Jones said. \n\nMr Jones said the Victorian Bar President, Matt Collins, described the initial conviction of Pell as 'highly unusual', having been made on behalf of a victim who had never reported abuse.\n\nAfter the High Court decision, Cardinal Pell issued a statement saying “my trial was not a referendum on the Catholic Church, nor a referendum on how church authorities in Australia dealt with the crime of paedophilia in the church”. \n\n“The point was whether I had committed these awful crimes and I did not,” he said. \n
