Is this rain going to last 3 days?
But it's financial viable to be a cricketer in Aus.As opposed to here when it’s up against 3.5 football codes (the 0.5 being Rugby).
Well tbf it's an ATG catch.How many Classic Catches has that McGrath catch been on?
Daly Cherry Evans and Ben Hunt are on more coin than Steve Smith.But it's financial viable to be a cricketer in Aus.
No rugby player or pigeon bread chaser (AFL) is earning as much as a Shane Watson or David Warner.
There are players in the English football league playing 2nd tier (championship) earning 7 million Aus dollars a year.
If you are a good multi sportsman athlete in the UK... cricket is a bad choice.
Googled it and the average is £50k. The top conference footballers earn more than that. Just to underline Cow’s pointHow much do county cricketers earn?
You don’t think Thurston or Franklin are earning as much as Warner or Watson? Crazy talk.But it's financial viable to be a cricketer in Aus.

I hadn't realised how they compared to conference players tbf.Googled it and the average is £50k. The top conference footballers earn more than that. Just to underline Cow’s point
I didn't mention Smith.Daly Cherry Evans and Ben Hunt are on more coin than Steve Smith.
Not sure about that. Tim Bresnan proudly representing the 155 kg trundlers.That and the fact England’s poor climate, lack of sunlight and paucity of good, fresh food means they can only grow 75kg sportsmen who are trundlers instead of the elite athletes we have here who are used to the harsh sun and flourish with a direct of healthy protein and tropical flora.
That and the fact that none of the good footballers in the EPL are actually English.English football is a ridiculous thing to compare to anything financially though, because there’s an obscene amount of money kicking around.
Outside of the Old Firm, Scottish Premiership players don’t make any more then County Cricketers.
Not all conference players, a lot of part time clubs in the division. But the top players at Tranmere are in 50-60k I believe and we aren’t necessarily the highest payers.I hadn't realised how they compared to conference players tbf.
Obviously our domestic game could still be done way better, but that's another discussion.
Not sure this is completely true. Cole Stockton left us for Hearts, turning down L1 clubs in the process. And his contract with us was signed when we were higher up the pyramid. Would suspect he would have signed on for a fair rise.English football is a ridiculous thing to compare to anything financially though, because there’s an obscene amount of money kicking around.

Yeah that useless Harry Kane really bugs me for exampleThat and the fact that none of the good footballers in the EPL are actually English.
