Not that I do anything like it (never even had a cigarette before!), but amongst people my age doing this kind of recreational stuff seems pretty accepted and the norm, its very worrying how easy some of this stuff is to get!

Ramps talked about the changing culture last year in the Surrey dressing room and the amount of money and temptation on offer

clearly he views things differently, i'm sure when he joined Middx they all liked a few beers back then but drugs I don't reckon would have been part of the culture he grew in in pro cricket

I met him last year lovely fella and a top top dedicated professional

Ramps and Adams have a different view on the goings on - it isn't a surprise that Ramps had to retire.

Agreed. Temptation is always there, just depends if you are strong enough to hold out. Especially if I was getting the money these lads were getting at 20 years old.

yes plus win bonus, final bonus,sponsorship etc on top on that for a top player
Surrey are one of the highest paying Counties.
Since Chris Adams got there it's basically been open cheques and they now have a huge playing staff.
Whether that's the right way to go i'm not sure but it's modern professional sport.

some of the other Counties are not in that league thou

you can double that and some.
the salary cap for counties is £1.9mln for the playing staff.

Players like Harmison, Trescothick and Hoggard signed contracts around the 100k-130k mark when their central contracts expired.  Very promising pros, especially ones around the 21-24 bracket, probably attract between 40k and 100k depending on teh county.  Surrey, Hampshire, Lancs and Notts are known to be the most generous remunerators...
