Interesting example used there sim dog :)

not everyone gets a flat rate at some clubs either... But nobody is meant to know about all that anyway. I got paid 'performance' last year but won't this year. Its ridiculous that a cricketer as bad as I am can get pocket money for playing cricket.

Got paid to play in England as an overseas and had offers from other clubs but haven't taken them.

Would be great to get paid for doing the sport we all love!

I may have a word with the Chairman and see if I can get 5p a run and 10p a catch! May even have enough to treat myself to a pint by the end of the season!  ;)

Used to get a certain amount for scoring over 40/60/80/100 at a club in Wales  when I was at Uni (and bonuses for any wickets if I had a spell), only played a few games for them in the end and the standard was lower than I usually play but it paid for a couple of nights out at least!

I get paid by my job to play same wage if that counts, around 20-30 days a season.

Club wise well that's a benefit scheme

Work has just said it'll pay us for any excess hours... What they forgot to check was my hour sheet!! It's at just over 120 extra hours as I was building them up for cricket.. Bonus coming me thinks!!

Does mean I'll be doing stupid hours for the rest of March to build up flexi :(
