70% of our income is from the ICC.

But I mean, with the US dollar movement...

which is quite challenging these days, that can go up and down.

We could lose a million in a year based on that, despite our best efforts to hedge, etc.

There's a couple of different ways.

So I think the government has been more sophisticated around and the Department of Sport have worked very hard around that in terms of the grants they have.

So there's the smaller scale grants, which are up to 300 or 400,000, which is probably more around repairs.

And then you've got the large scale infrastructure fund.

But that was 2018, 2019 grants.

And there is an expectation there'll be another one, but that could be another year or two.

And that's for anything over those kind of monies.

So really, if you're going to build stadiums or if you're going to build something more, it's that.

But that was massively, both those funds are constantly massively oversubscribed.

And there's been a big effort by the department to spread it out because a lot of the time those went to JA and other sports now are working really hard to get a piece of this pie.

But of course, one of the things we're trying to do as a nation is

find something physical activity sport that appeals to everybody so that all people young old abled body disabled etc can do something so we have we have done a good job we have a much more wider breadth of sport that's open to people which is really important but then everybody's looking for their their piece of the pie so probably has a good argument too yeah they do and that's why there's there is a leaning towards multi-sports facilities but i think in terms of what cricket can do we certainly have to support our clubs

you know, to get those applications in, to do a good job of those applications.

We are starting discussions, as I said, around county councils around the country.

Cricket is on their agenda, so that's really good.

But I think what's missing is a clearer strategy.
