R9.8 million for 4 hours work

Tonight's Stanford 20/20 final, 1 game, chance for 11 players to win R9.8 MILLION RAND, EACH?! Madness.

There's something about this and the way the England team and their WAGS are swanning about in Antigua that is really quite annoying and not what cricket is about, although perhaps not entirely their fault as they were invited?

Anyway not sure if anyone else agrees but would love to see the West Indies team win and will be backing them tonight, don't think i could watch Kevin Pietersen get his hands on that big cheque.

Agree 100% Southpaw - this sort of thing is overkill in my opinion but as you say you can't blame the players for jumping at the chance.

Read this article from former England captain Mike Atherton, I always thought Athers was a dour, boring, and negative captain but as a journo and Sky presenter he is brilliant. He's very articulate, never dodges a controversial topic and always give an opinion, unlike most presenters in SA who always sit on the fence. He is also not scared to ask sensitive questions and put current playing cricketers on the spot.

What was Stanford thinking off. I mean you cant' associate a team like England with excitement. Non good for his investment me reckon. And did the result show...
