There are so many layers to all of this going on that are very practical, very specific, and then very existential and deep and ideological.
It's always difficult to know where to start.
I keep coming back to what you said last week, Higos, actually, which is perhaps we don't know how privatization will take shape, but we know that it will take shape.
And this is an unexpected way of taking a step towards it.
You know, there's been criticism of the way this has happened.
I just want to say from my perspective, I like Nick Cummins, the Cricket Victoria CEO.
This move strikes me very much as a rip the bandaid off move.
You know, those who are proponents of privatisation are going to try and crash through with this stuff.
It does give the feeling of shakiness on the outside.
My understanding is that
though there are some who have been you know supposedly blindsided by this um that every state ceo and cricket australia knew of cricket victoria's plan broadly since january uh and that all states are now kind of talking to their base you know cricket new south wales uh
essentially signaled that they'd stopped this madness and a lot of stakeholders like the ACA and other states, SACAs as well, trying to look like they're controlling the process.
It actually sadly to me has a few triggering echoes of COVID-19.
where we all realise that Australia is sometimes a loose collection of states that are more loyal to themselves than any notion of nationhood because everybody feels out of kilter and out of step now.
And yeah, just to reiterate, I do believe rightly or wrongly, I feel deflated about it, but the game and its finances are being reorganised around T20 cricket.
driven out of India.
We, I believe that we have buried our national heads in the sand about this and going through a reckoning on it.
It, a lot of people feel like this sucks and it's going to suck.
And I don't know if that said, I don't know if there's any way to do this in a way that a purist would like.
Yeah.
