The former batsman said he just couldn't understand how the governing body reached this stage. "I just can't quite work it out. We're in off-season as a sport, and all of a sudden we're losing money hand over fist from a very strong position just a couple of years ago. I just can't work out where all the money's gone," he said. Border said Cricket Australia would have a lot of money from broadcast deals and that should have secured them.

"There's a huge television rights deal. That should be enough to cover expenses, surely, from year to year. To me it just doesn't ring true that you can be in such a strong position one minute (and then this). "So at the end of last season where were we at financially, and the start of next season hasn't happened yet ¿ so what's happened in the meantime apart from sacking lots of people? Where's the money gone?"

The 64-year-old said other officials who were involved in decision making also need to be made accountable. "Kevin Roberts has been the CEO through that time ¿ (but) some of the directors have got to be squirming at the moment. At the end of the day they sign off all those financial decisions.

"It's not just the CEO. There's got to be some others that fall on their sword as well."
