***Official*** Stanford Super Series

[social]

Stanford series has been a hit with Carribean audiences. If it sparks a revival of interest in the West Indies, so be it.

Great for West Indies but they dont pay the bills

Haha, Agnew summed it up nicely "It's been excellent apart from the cricket"

Go home, realize this is all absolute hogwash, get some whites on, and go play something properly.

No doubt the Windies players would have been up for this one! Is the big $$ prizemoney, the spark that reignites cricket in the dreams of young West Indies cricketers?

Did England lose this then?

I was spending the time during this game in a rather more worthwhile location than watching - in a nightclub.

What's the monetary breakdown? That's all that really matters.

And BTW, can someone merge this?

English XI - 0 Vs Stanford XI 20Million.

I doubt Alistair Darling is very happy about this - 40% of $20 million would have made a worthwhile contribution to HMRC who, I understand, are a tad strapped at present

I could've sworn the ECB got some sort of participation package.

Who gives a **** as long as the pointless bugger is over.

Can't help but lol at the English players after this result, it seems almost as if they didn't even turn up for this game, i mean after all the crap they have gone through the last week atleast they should have made it worthwhile by taking the cash home, look who cares whether Stanford 20/20 is real cricket or not, from a players POV there is unheard cash up for grabs and its the only thing that should really matter to them tbh.

The amount of money the ECB gets is the only thing anyone does give a **** about.

I think it was three million to each board and fourteen million to the players of the winning team, actually.

It is.

Yeah good call, talent has been bleeding out to other more glamorous sports like basketball apparently so hopefully this and the riches of the IPL can get the youngsters back.

Always assuming Mr Stanford doesn't do a Lehman Brothers of course

 

[TT Boy]

How is or was Fletcher's keeping, good enough to replace Ramdin who can't buy a run internationally?

 

[Richard]

Could do this too while you were at it.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Haha, massive to England TBH, they deserved every penny they got.

 

[Richard]

Didn't get?
