And I understand what you're saying about that you don't live and breathe and sweat the result.

I mean, you want them to win, but you don't wake up the next morning like you would your AFL team losing, hurting and not waiting for the next game.

The disposability of that Big Bash League in terms of the result, I think it's the greatest selling point.

There's a game on every single night, and in some respects, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses.

You just want to see some good cricket.

But there is still a core group of supporters, Hutchie, that I'm thinking right now are going to be lost in this whole machination because while it's not going to be called the Stars, that's going to be the dominant hand in this arrangement.

A little bit, to bring it back to a VFL slash AFL perspective, it'd be a little bit like the initial Fitzroy and Brisbane Bears merger where it just disappeared.

I know they've rectified that over time and I know we're talking about great history there with the links to that sport.

That isn't the case with Big Bash.

But ultimately, you do have a club that's now not there and dead and a group of supporters that,

I think are going to be lost right now when it comes to what they're going to do.

The Bushrangers, if you recall, when I was covering the cricket, actually, back in the 90s, early 90s.

Remember back then, they went through a process.

They thought this would take off where you could wear shorts in the one-day matches.

The Victorian Bushrangers wore shorts there for at least a season.

It didn't quite take off, did it?

It was.

Damien Fleming bursting through.

I am with this one.

It is needed.
