Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

Smith made AFR's rich list and punter is supposedly worth 100 million.  Test  cricket pays plenty of you're good enough.

Twenty twenty is for also rans.

This is confusing income from off-field enterprises with wages from cricket.

You'll always get the odd player who has substantial business interests, what we need are blokes who focus on test cricket as cricketers.

But this is nothing new ProfE, as you know at just about any level except 1st class the T20 and other short form teams are usually quite different to the usual 1st Eleven. Even in small suburban clubs this is normal. But in recent years it's been one team fits all for Australia, mostly because it's the short form of the game that earns the test players the big money.
