Seven West Media and Foxtel have upped their battle with Cricket Australia by making only a part payment to the sport's governing body | Pierik_AgeSport ChrisBarrett_
Seven West Media has declared it won't pay another cent for cricket this summer after transferring only a part of the $25 million payment it was due to provide to Cricket Australia on Tuesday.
"Putting aside the questions of breach, in accordance with the contract Seven has invoked the right to appoint an independent expert to determine the fair value of the media rights against the expected schedule for the season compared to the originally published schedule," Warburton said.Seven chief executive James Warburton has been critical of Cricket Australia.As part of a six-year deal worth $1.
The networks will still televise the women's white-ball series against New Zealand in a biosecure bubble later this month, despite their stance. But the pay fight is now a step closer to heading to the Supreme Court in Melbourne. Seven's concerns about the BBL have been so great that Warburton has threatened to tear up the remaining four years of the contract. The network also asked CA for the competition to be cancelled this season, in order for it to be revamped come 2021-22.
The first stipulates that CA must undertake "all reasonable endeavours" to ensure matches in an average across the season are at least on par with the highest quality and standard of Twenty20 matches in the world. The second key point relates to CA "at a minimum" putting on a season that is "overall no less" than the standard of last year's event.
