Todd Greenberg on the "damn difficult" BBL privatisation process

About this episode

Todd Greenberg discusses the complexities of the BBL privatisation process with host Corbin Middlemas.

The man in the middle of the BBL privatisation debate is Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg and he sits down with Corbin for half an hour to pull back the curtain on one of the most talked about cricket decisions in decades. Find out why Greenberg says that trying to convince the States was “like trying to land a very big jumbo jet on a very skinny runway”. The two run through the possibility of a hybrid model, the place for gambling, a potential T20 leagues Grand Slam, what type of investors might be interested and how the Big Bash and test cricket can coexist in a busy schedule over Summer. Big topic, big guest, must listen.
