I think they will sense that there is enormous upheaval.

I'm just talking about your mile-wide, inch-deep Aussie fans of cricket.

I still think there is a pathway there where very good players on good teams with well-marketed stories –

are playing games of T20 cricket at night that Aussies want to watch.

And part of that is because of our flippant relationship to the tournament, you know.

So I'm deflated that the game is being reorganised around T20 cricket.

These are forces well beyond Australia's control in my view.

But I didn't – nobody expected this this week apart from obviously the stakeholders of the states.

But yeah.

Yeah, he got it.

Yeah, yeah.

So just on Vape have Surya Vanchi –

And this leads into Chappell's three ideas.

He says, if a child who has barely completed his physical development can step onto the global stage and effortlessly humiliate elite international bowlers, it exposes a systemic illness within the sport.

Surya Vanchi is the ultimate canary in the coal mine, showing us that the modern environment has been engineered to make bowling extinct.

The combination of hyper-engineered bat technology, drastically shortened boundary ropes and completely lifeless flat pitches has swung the game monstrously in favour of batters.

This lopsided environment threatens to reduce T20 cricket to a repetitive, mechanical loop of boundaries that will ultimately alienate the sporting public.

The entertainment value of any sport relies fundamentally on jeopardy, and when that jeopardy is stripped away, the spectacle quickly loses its gloss.

Greg Chappell's got three rules to fix this.

One, the number of wickets a batting team is permitted to lose in a T20 inning should be reduced to six.
