Cricket's exponential growth - a bubble ready to burst?

As private equity marches deeper into cricket's ownership structures, the game should take note of parables from other sports about the perils of chasing a buck.
Here's a cheeky idea. Let's teleport - using the ingenious medium of words - into the office of a chief executive at an English county. This can't, however, be just any old cricket county.
It must be a Test venue and must have an associated franchise in The Hundred. It would help if there were trophies in the trophy cabinet downstairs (on the way to the notoriously bolshie members' pavilion) and an iconic heritage grandstand and a view of a sluggish river, the subject of a local song.
