Totally agree. Looked what happened at Rugby Australia; Murdoch press against the CEO for months, and than overnight she is gone, there man installed and bingo we are friends with RA again.
Same with the NRL, nine and fox against the sitting ceo and bingo house of cards folds.
Murdoch is throwing his weight to save him money on a tv platform that is almost dead.
Well so they should. They signed up for this ridiculous deal so they should be expected to pay. If all the content is delivered then thereās no reason that they cannot fulfil their contract. CA should take them to court if they refuse.
It depends on whether they can get the international stars here for the Big Bash. It certainly isnāt going to be as desirable if they donāt have all the stars here.
and realistically there werent that many of them - theres little reason why a reasonably full strength Big Bash canāt run if the current conditions continue.
The international season on the other hand is a different story
Eddings comments make me wonder whether Roberts was open to a renegotiation but the CA board werent
He is a very popular figure here in SA and a lot of cricket supporters will go to the game talking about him. I am not sure if there are others from other clubs but it is quite the concern for the Big Bash, which was starting to wane anyway over the last few years, to not have those big stars for the Summer.
