The guys unpack what this means for the competition, the risks of external ownership, and whether the league can grow through a self-funded model instead. They also cover the latest from the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, including Mitchell Starc’s recognition, debate the quirks of Wisden’s selection rules, and take a global look at Aussie performances across the IPL, PSL, and county cricket. Plus, there’s discussion around Cameron Green’s struggles, David Warner’s off-field controversy, and what it all means for leadership and accountability in Australian cricket.
