And I think from a player's perspective, they probably feel like, I'm not sure many of these like franchises or administrations are the โ

Like, like Cam Green's not bowling, so it can be available for Bangladesh in Darwin.
And if you're a Kolkata fan and they've paid $4 million for him to bowl and he might be able to bowl now, you're wondering why is he being rested to prioritise Test cricket in Darwin?
And if you're in Australia, you're thinking that's fucking awesome because that's what matters to me most.

decided to, you know, criticize implicitly Cricket Australia, who have then come out and said, but you knew about it.
I don't think that's really the point that KKR knew about it.
