The privatisation of the Big Bash.

And I get that.

That's the way you are built as a businessman.

You look at it differently.

I've been very wary of it.

And I'm not one to say no to things, Hutchie, straight away.

I like to see what's going on.

But I'm really concerned about privatising the Big Bash League franchises.

So are you suggesting as part of this wider conversation about privatisation, about access to international talent, about Australian cricketers holding off on contract deals and the balance between playing for the local competitions against the big monies that can be made in the T20 leagues around the world, are you arguing to blow the system up here?

It has been.

We've said this regularly on this show.

I think we forecast the doom on it when they went to so many matches, too many matches, and it suffered.

And to give it its credit, I think it's had a good – let's go with two seasons, but it might be three seasons of good comeback.

Yep.

What's also clear is that it's not an easy way out.

And what I'm now worried about, Hachi, without wanting to be too doomish about it, this might just wreck the momentum of the last three years of Big Bash.

Okay.

Just board numbers here, Hutchie.

What would a, and I'll try to use names that will be known, but throughout the country, like a Stoinis and say a Maxwell, I know they have played for the same team, but what would that, what would the biggest Australian based player or Australian origin to player get from the big bash campaign?

Are we talking $350,000?
