Summary
Season 20, Episode 9: Stand down, defenders of the realm. The brave Queenslanders have come to the aid of New South Wales (did we ever doubt them?) and that means that with 33% of the states now off the idea, Cricket Australia can't take the Big Bash to the sale yard to get a price. Everybody is seemingly pissed off with somebody. Is this a good outcome, bad outcome, head in the sand, resolute belief in the future? Plenty of ways to look at it. Also this week, storylines abound in county cricket, we have Enakshi's IPL wrap, and all of Australia was breathless in following the fortunes of the mighty Hyderabad Houston Chicago Illinois Kingsmen starring Woody Harrelson.
