Hopefully it's all of the teams rather than fragmented.

The blue sky, the ridiculous idea, the one that people will scoff at, and it's a sort of a one in a hundred chance, is that in fact...

The BBL expands into India.

It goes to BCCI and the IPL and says, we want to have an India team based in India in the BBL.

It'll play in Australia.

The Australian teams will come and play in India against that team here.

And it might be that...

And you could imagine the last sale of an IPL team was for $2.56 billion.

So that's, I don't know how many million that is, that's $2,500 million.

You could imagine an Indian tech entrepreneur saying, okay, I'll pay $500 million for that Indian team, give the BCCO half, pocket the other half.

And the TV rights would multiply enormously to have an Indian team there.

Now, look, it's enormously difficult.

It's almost impossible, but it might be worth thinking about.

It might have been thought about already.

It might be in the Boston Consulting Group report.

But you asked for the blue sky thinking.

That's it.

I agree with Todd there.

I lived through the, I think the worst of the integrity issues there with three captains of the Test Playing Nations being banned for life.

So cricket has a sensitive relationship with betting.
