Yeah.
But I just felt that this was, you know, going back in time.
Gerard, when you and I grew up, I think I was 18 years old before I read a copy of the Melbourne Papers, The Age or The Herald Sun, because there was no internet.
Papers didn't cross the border.
Rivalries were big.
But to suddenly start this Victorian team and expect people to rally behind it, I think you're really overlooking what the stars brought in particular and
The one thing you want in a competition is teams that people love, and the second thing is teams that people hate.
That was great with the Stars.
People got off on the fact they'd never won the competition.
They were the Collingwood of the Big Bash.
Even if you felt something towards them when they played, and that's so unusual in a T20 competition.
So the demise of the Stars particularly is very, very painful.
what is the political scenario across the the australian cricketing world now well it's so fragmented jared isn't it because victoria trying to push this through for the start of next season other states are saying hang on we haven't even agreed on private ownership yet we haven't even gone to the players to let them agree on it yet we haven't had formal evaluations of of what teams are worth
And, you know, there's concerns on a lot of fronts.
I mean, one of them, Gerard, is that, you know, the second Victorian team obviously will be sold to Indian investors and it'll get an Indian name.
You know, the Knight Riders from so-and-so, as there are in so many T20 competitions around the world.
And the feeling is they will be supported by tens and thousands of Indian fans and that's fine.
But we live in a very complex Australia at the moment.
You've got Pauline Hanson, you know, really, you know, playing her sort of racial card as she does.
And there's a lot of tension in the air.
