Season 15, Episode 18: Running Australian cricket will never be an easy job. Nick Hockley’s path to the chief executive chair was from left field, slotted in when administrators were getting taken out during the pandemic. A few years on, established in the role, he talked us through his backstory, his hopes for cricket’s future, and a range of the issues that have landed in his in-tray. Recorded in the Ladies Stand at the SCG as summer rain fell the day after the Test.
