Kate Banozic has left her post as the Cricket Australia chief financial officer after more than 14 years, a departure that leaves the chief executive James Sutherland as by far the longest serving member of the governing body. Tony Dorsett Womens Jersey .ESPNcricinfo has learned that Banozic is departing for a corporate role with Endota Spa, having been part of CA since 2000. She previously worked for Ford and then the Geelong Football Club. Banozic and Sutherland, who became CEO in 2001 after joining CA in 1998, had worked closely together over that time.However there is a growing mood for change at CA, following a raft of governance and financial changes that have invested steadily more responsibility in the hands of the management team based at the games Australian headquarters in Jolimont, near the MCG.Numerous departures and appointments have followed the unprecedented move of Kevin Roberts from the position of independent board director to that of executive general manager, people and strategy. Other moves are expected to follow at senior executive level, with Banozic far from the only long-term role player who may find themselves heading elsewhere.The initial goal I set myself when I joined the organisation, was to be here for three years, Banozic told The Delivery earlier this year. I think the reason Im still here is because there has been so much progress and change during that time. Of course, like any job, there have been many sliding-door moments. However, I honestly believe that the game is making a real difference and what it brings to peoples lives, is bigger than cricket itself.Sutherland paid tribute to Banozic, who among other things had delivered CAs financial reports at the board AGM for most of the past 16 years.Kate has been with Cricket Australia for more than 16 years and has made an enormous contribution not only to the organisation but also through her strong working relationships with member cricket associations and key stakeholders across Australian cricket, Sutherland told ESPNcricinfo. We sincerely thank her for her work with us.Kate has been presented with an outstanding career opportunity, providing her with greater responsibility and significant career progression and we wish her every success in this next stage of her working career.Other changes since Roberts arrived have included the appointment of Graham Manou as national pathways manager, and the arrival of David Saker as Darren Lehmanns new assistant coach with the national team.Sutherland moved from a fixed term contract to a salaried employment position in 2015, meaning both he and CA will be able to end their association more easily when the time comes. Roberts has been widely touted as a future CEO, as no previous board director has ever left their post to join the management team. Emmitt Smith Jersey . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety.Dak Prescott Cowboys Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St.http://www.cowboysproshopauthentic.com/Customized/ . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. Alastair Cook has admitted that England lack the consistency to be rated the No.1 Test side.England could, had they won at The Oval and seen other results around the world fall in their favour, have moved to the top of the Test rankings. Instead they suffered a 10-wicket defeat that leaves them fourth in the rankings and reflecting on something of a reality check.Most of all, they were left to ponder the continuing fragility of their top-order batting that saw only two of the top five (predictably, Cook and Joe Root) average 30 and the unreliability of their close catching which, on average missed two chances an innings.While Englands middle-order, specifically Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow, often bailed the side out (both men averaged in excess of 50 in the series), none of Alex Hales, James Vince or Gary Ballance were convincing. Hales averaged 18.22 at the top of the order, while Vince has been given the entire Test summer in the side without registering a fifty; statistics that left Cook admitting they havent been good enough.At the beginning of this game the talk was you can become No.1; you could do all this, you could do all that, Cook said. But these four days probably show exactly where we are. Were a good side when were on it, but theres a few areas we need to improve to make that next step.Consistently over the summer, we havent scored enough runs at the top of the order. It is frustrating for us as a side. Its a big area weve got to keep working on - and obviously, for us to take that next step to consistency, top-order first-innings runs are vital.The lower order have got us out of trouble some of the time and its great that weve got strength in depth down there. But the majority of the time they should be putting the icing on the cake, not making the cake.There is a hell of a lot of talent in the guys who are playing, but they just havent got that score. I cant fault the lads efforts. Its not for lack of that. Its just they havent been good enough at this precise moment in time, and its something we have to look at.Cook also conceded that England had to go back to basics to improve their catching. They put down 15 chances over the course of the series - four more than Pakistan - rendering the job of their bowlers all the harder. Larry Allen Jersey. With the catching this summer, well need to go back to basics and work incredibly hard again, Cook said. We cant afford to drop as many catches as we have in this series if we want to bowl sides out on good wickets like this one here.Theres could haves and should haves - all that kind of stuff - but weve given them four chances in that first session on day two. We should take three out of those four, and that puts a different complexion on it. That is a frustrating feeling.There were, Cook felt, some positives from the series. He credited the improved performances of Jonny Bairstow, who has every chance of establishing a new record for the most runs scored in a year by a Test wicketkeeper, and Moeen Ali, as well as celebrating the much-improved relationship between the two sides. Bairstow has now scored 992 Test runs (from 16 innings) in 2016, meaning only Andy Flower (who scored 1,045 runs from 16 innings in 2000) has managed more. England, however, have another six Tests scheduled before the end of the year.The relationship between the sides is a lot better than its ever been, Cook said. Both sides have made a conscious effort to talk about the cricket and let the cricket do the talking. We knew they were a good side and 2-2 is probably a fair reflection. The series was played hard, but it was played in good spirits.Moeen has done a fantastic job for us since he came into the side as a batter who bowled a bit. Hes had to share a lot of responsibility to do that as part of a five-man attack.Hes not a Yasir Shah as a spinner and he probably never will be. But he continues to work incredibly hard at it and he picks up vital wickets.Jonny Bairstow has had a great summer. I dont know if he has scored a thousand Test runs this year, but if not, he almost has. And, in these four games, hes kept really well as well. Hes made a really good step forward, and he should be very proud of that.Theres still a hell of a lot of work for him to do, but the way hes batted and contributed to the side, he can be very proud of a good summer.
