If it's any other metric, I think it's been unbelievably successful.
Yes, I do.
So I think there's two things.
We had one game, I think, with the old Big Bash when we were playing as Victoria where we had 80,000 to the MCG.
So I think it's possible to achieve big crowds without it being a derby.
But the other point to impress is that there will be another Melbourne team.
So there is still going to be a derby.
The derby is, as you rightly identified, the most important game that we have or games we have each year.
So that remains the case.
And so when we sell one of our licenses, one of the most important things we're going to be looking at is the team that comes in, the buyer of that team, how can they bring to life the Derby and get the biggest possible crowd?
How can they inspire parts of Melbourne that perhaps are not currently engaged in the Big Bash and bring them in big numbers?
So turn that 68 into 88th.
So, yeah, look, the derby is the most important thing in our organisation.
We understand that.
But we also think that, A, the derby will remain.
There'll still be two teams in Melbourne.
But, B, we think that second team will be able to activate parts of our community that perhaps haven't been all that engaged in Big Bash.
India just did what they needed to do.
He goes, they're barely out of second gear.
They may not have annihilated the Netherlands who fought hard, but they got lots out of the game, like a business experimenting with new revenue sources.
