Now...

I don't want them to take Geoff Rarcher out of the IPL because I love the fact that the players can earn money all over the world.

I think it's great.

But if you were employing someone, you're a big business, a bank, you employ someone and they miss 70% of their day's work over the last six years and still take a full wage and you cover all of their expenses and yet they will prioritise making a buck on the side for someone else,

That was kind of where I had the issue.

And it's not an issue with Joffra Archer.

It's an issue with just the situation.

Are you prepared to train?

And so for me, the answer is you only get your answer if you take away his ECB contract and take away everything that goes with it and put them on a game-by-game basis.

then you kind of find out how much these guys will want to play.

So you can't kind of have your cake and eat it too.

I note the Aussie boys, yes, they get paid well too, but I would imagine that very few of those bowlers will play the IPL next year.

with what's coming up for Australia, Cummins, Stark, Hazelwood, I imagine they will play very little of the IPL next year.

No.

Look, I sort of... I think they know what they get now.

And I love the IPL.

It is a cracking tournament.

It really is.

But I'm not going to go there and say that it's all fluffy and it's all roses because I wouldn't be being true to myself.

And if you're sitting at home and watching and you can see something and I can see something and I'm not saying it, then...
