What is the significance of Todd Greenberg’s “most important strategic decision” for Australian cricket?
I'm gonna be ready to run, run, run, run.
That's still my
watch.
Shit you're good. This is easy. Linking Uber to the net set. Timber 11 is going to be amazing.
Todd Greenberg says it's the most important strategic decision that Australian cricket will make for a generation. That's right, partial privatization. As the CEO faced the SCG yesterday, speaking to the backdrop of Moorpark Trees, visually staged with modern legends, the Bunce was green-lit, begging the questions: is this a billion-dollar opportunity or are we robbing from the future? Let's face it, the sun will never. Ever set on the Knight Riders. And as Freddie Mercury sung, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now. On the show as well, we'll also talk about Australia's team for South Africa, mana stuff, of course. KP is both Mr. Beast and England's white ball mentor. We preview England Pakistan after the visit has been seven players and confiscate a couple of phones, presumably in fear of England's 2005 pace attack.
RTGC is very willing. Today, and thank you for your patience on the delivery of the podcast this week. We are late due to the famed content capture day where you neutrally capture content in flat media-based fashion. We were there at the SCG in a box while everything was taking place downstairs. Now, in Higo's barley-based leave, I'll be joined today by special co-host Gideon Haig. We are proud to have a man. of intellectual and club cricketing distinction, able filling in while Papa Higos destroys Bintang's deluxe as it is once and as he well deserves. Gideon Haig, Cricket Out Tower, we are in hot button territory. How momentous was Todd's announcement yesterday in the history of Australian cricket?
First of all, it's a great pleasure to be back. Um Considering uh last time. Um That's why what could possibly go
wrong?
Um how momentous was yesterday? Uh not really momentous. I mean we sort of knew that the Cricket Australia board was going to be in fervent agreement with itself that that private investment was um a panacea for the game. Uh It was disturbing, uh, frankly, to see how um empty the slogans sounded. You know, I think the word opportunity was used forty-seven times in the press conference yesterday, usually in conjunction with the with the word one billion, a billion dollar opportunity for Australia.
And we'll be poor the rest of our lives. And that sat ill with me as a as an Australian cricket follower, as a devotee of the game. It was it sounded like um the cry of a desperate game that lacks confidence in its future, that uh that doesn't really know what the future looks like and is uh and is is is kind of panic stricken. Um is rushing towards the guns, like Baspaul. Too they're rushing towards the danger.
Um I think everyone needs to just uh sit back because we I really want to get into this with privatization and uh particularly now that it has been greenlit. Of course we knew that it was coming, uh, in some way or other, but the the mechanics and the X's and O's are are not what we expected. Um before we do that, uh let's hear from the punters. We we did ask them what they thought about this and Marnus, etcetera. Uh so uh this is what they had to say.
Good morning. September eleven is going to be amazing, up up amazing. Good morning! September 11 is going to be amazing. Chernobyl's version of Chernobyl.
Oh no, the Blobby League's in danger. How do we get Greenberg inside solitary confinement? A stat stat. Fuck me, the blue shirts and RMs and the SCG members must be beside themselves with all this use of their favorite word. Privatization. I'm sorry, but the moment they schedule MI Melbourne to play Sydney Super Kings on Boxing Day instead of a fucking test match, we write right. I didn't sit through this West Coast season to watch fucking MI scorchies on the telly. Honestly, this Wednesday episode better be eight hours long. I need dividends. I'm trying to work out whether I want to be the Sunriser Sydney or the Sydney Super Kings. Both sound shit. Hmm. What is privatization? Boys, what's getting me hot is how nuclear code level these nudes must be that Marness has.
