Any doubts as to who runs Aussie cricket and sets the cculture....not.Fwiw, I think in this case NSW Cricket and the MCC are one in the same.
( Note; To prevent confusion to some readers, in this context MCC is the Marylebone Cricket Club (Lords), not Melbourne. For years NSW Cricket and the MCC have monopolised placements in County Cricket, and used that leverage to shift the best of Australian young talent into the NSW Cricket system pretty much against their will. If you are a talented kid playing cricket around Australia and yet to make your name, either you're in to NSW or you're out of County Cricket without some exceptional efforts! )
