Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[JonHenry]

Think AB Devilliers made it common knowledge he doesnt want to play overseas anymore as he wants to spend more time with his young family and only needs to play IPL for Bangalore to earn what he needs.
Dont see him playing Big Bash unless the money was way way too good to refuse and I dont see the BBL ever getting close to being able to afford what the IPL pays him...did read he was contemplating playing in the Pakistan 20/20 comp but they must be offering mega bucks..
I'd question the interest in 20/20 cricket in Australia...I dont go out of my way to watch it and with a small population in Aus I dont see it ever having the organic growth to compete with the overseas 20/20 comps...

There is only one thing that makes all 20/20 comps tick, and that is money.
The TV stations have paid the big bucks, now they want to have a say in the distribution of the payments to players and the scheduling.
CA should increase the Cap of each side and get more sponsorship for the better product.

If CA play this right they may be able to manipulate a scenario that allows BBL to be moved to it's very own time slot, outside of December and January.
All of February and a week or two of March sounds ideal.

That would leave first class cricket to support test cricket, at the time of the year that it should.
Have the first class final finished by end of January.
