Setting the record straight on the BBL sale and what comes next
5/4/202647 min
Cricket Australia have pressed pause on their proposed sale of the Big Bash for now so Corbin & Ed get into why all the states weren't on board, what needs to change and what the road ahead looks like.
Ed sets the record straight on NSW's concerns, how they would like to see the original report recommendations implemented as well as what other states may have been taking into consideration in their decisions. It's an insight into the 12 month process like no other.
There's also an IPL and PSL catch up with 31 Aussies involved, listener questions galore and lots of player payment chat off the back of the Paul Marsh interview last episode.
