I seem to remember that someone told me rob key, Martin van jaarsveld and geraint jones were all on big deals at Kent a few years back that was contributing to their financial issues. Could have sworn someone said they were on over £100k each which looking at these figures seems pretty high

Key and jones were international/ex int cricketers so they are bound to be on a fair wack. This discussion is looking more at the more standard county pro.

Fair enough, just figured it might help.

Imagine smith at Surrey is on a fair whack!

KP, solanki, smith, tremlett..all will be on more than the average I'd expect.

There are senior county players who have never played internationally on 80 to 100k year, but also depends how good you are. It is a performance lead sport, the better you are the higher the wage you can command.

Also depends on the county.  I think when Hamilton Brown was bought back to surrey as captain, it was on a 6 figure salary

Should be a spin off topic - the best current county players never to have played internationally. Really for a county you want the best possible player but not that good that they get called up.

Whilst having good players who play little international cricket is good, I believe I'm correct in saying that counties don't have to pay wages to players with Central contracts? Which means whilst you may only be able to play them a few times a year, they are not a burden on your finances.

Yes it's correct, the club also receives financial compensation from the Ecb for that player, so financially the club benefits. But I really meant in terms of on field results clubs are best having players just below international standard, or ex internationals I suppose.
