Chucked out

Chuck has left the Vics.

According to Cricket Victoria, beacons of truth that I am sure they are, Chuck has left to spend more time with his family and such.

It’s a nice story.

If it were true.

It’s late September.

The pre season has already started.

The season starts on 12 October.

Is this not a weird time to leave your position.

Last year Boof Lehmann was given the ass by South Australia.

Roy has just been shit canned by Cricket Australia.

And now Chuck is gone.

See a pattern here, larrikins, free spirits, party guys, or non probots.

Is Cricket Australia slowly stripping away all the personality and flair from the ranks?

Maybe I am reading too much into this.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

But, splits this close to the start of the season are very rarely amicable or simple.

Dodsy had this to say.

“‘Chuck’ has played a key role in Victoria’s success throughout his playing and coaching career. His experience, knowledge and passion for the ‘Big V’ will be sadly missed but we wish Darren and his family the very best in the next chapter of their lives.”

Let’s hope this is a simple split, and not part of a James Sutherland masterminded plot to get rid of all cricketing personalities.

Thanks chuck.
