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 –

you know, moral guardians of all that is ethical when it comes to the administration of cricket as well.

You know, so I don't know.

I just think it's like, I think, yeah, a lot of people are just doing stuff.

I don't know.

I wouldn't be impugning the integrity of people who are injured, put it that way.

But I do think there's a broader power struggle going on around who is in charge of players as well.

Yeah.

You know, that's right.

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.

I mean, I think the pendulum is swinging in the game and it won't last long.

But for now, Test cricket is being prioritised.

And I think on this show, the Asian Century covering the IPL is a disgrace because I'm actually a proponent of the IPL and Chase 300.

Rahane chose not to bully him.

I mean, he followed the instructions and then decided to fire a broadside, which is very unlike a jinky Rahane, by the way, or Mafioso is normally quite, uh, reserved and, um, judicious with his commentary.

Uh, but on this occasion, he's,

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.
