We have a unique product on the global landscape.
There's nothing like a BBL game in world cricket.
You can go to any other league and you'll see different things and different strengths, but a BBL game in Australia is a unique and powerful product and we can see that in our crowds.
We want people to turn on the telly if we end up executing this game.
Turn on the telly and see that looks like a BBL game with an Indian flair, I guess.
If it is in Chennai, for example, that has a unique...
They've got a unique crowd and passionate and there'll be lots of yellow Dhoni shirts in the crowd, I'm sure.
But first and foremost, it needs to be a great experience for our players if we do it and a big crowd and then look back into our Australian fans like that's an amazing BBL experience, even if it's not in Australia.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's the latter.
I mean, we'll find out if we end up doing it.
I think, you know, part of the DNA of the BBL is taking, from day one, has been taking chances, taking risks, innovating and trying new things.
Even 15 years in, we've got new rules coming in this year.
We've got new contracting models.
And if we're exploring playing games in different markets, that's the bread and butter of the big bash and always will be.
On a WBBL front, will we see night games at the Junction Oval?
Yeah, I was at the Junction Oval on the weekend and the lights are up and what I'm told, they're about to be plugged in and even turned on.
So yeah, we will see some WBBL under lights.
In fact, we'll most likely see the opening day of WBBL, a doubleheader.
at the Junction Oval under lights.
We're looking at whether there's even a BBL game there under lights during the season as well.
