Few FC tons for SA, didn't he?

EDIT: got into a bit of trouble with both SA and TAS for not getting his body sorted out with off-season surgeries, instead playing IPL.

i know i'd be chasing the cash in the IPL rather than waiting around on the fringes of shield teams

This BBL kinda sucked in that it feels like anything between 160-200 is an automatic win. No one has been able to do well in a high run-chase.

Great Moments in Berry's Column

On a different level but even more concerning is a tale of a lesser-known state-contracted player who has had a below-par season in all formats of the game.

This player is super talented and strikes the ball as cleanly as anyone in the country. He also happens to have an IPL contract worth just the base salary of $20,000. He has an injury that requires surgery immediately but instead has chosen to delay the surgery because he can still play with minimal discomfort. The IPL unashamedly is his priority. The recovery time after surgery will be three months and will greatly affect his preparations for the next Australian summer. This is less than ideal. The bright lights of India and the trimmings that he believes will come with it have won the battle. There are more like this.
What price Australia? Baggy green can cost $500,000
