Didn't Michael Clarke sign a six figure deal with Spartan? It appears that there's paper to be made in cricket!

Pietersen was reported to be on £200k+ though by the Telegraph/Times 4 yrs ago. Clarkes was reported as in the high-six figures (AUD) for his 3yr deal, plus he has stock in Spartan.

100 k is a huge amount for any size company in the uk ,that's a fair amount of bats to sell, ss must be the biggest company in the world ? Do they pay less tax/rates in India ?
Was told 95k bats sold a year under SS branding in India, and can sell at a higher margin than any UK manufacturer (as they make in india)

They also get a government kickback on exports.

Yes all SS you can see the ton stamp on his bat. His keeping and batting gloves look quite nice. I think they are his new sponsor as if he was a free agent surely he'd just have his Slazenger softs with a blank V12?

But in this photo the SS branding on the gloves is covered up?

Personally I'd like to see him at Puma or Gray Nicolls.
England do now have Compton in the side so that fills the space Strauss left at Gray Nicolls.

England may have Compton, but that's on a trial basis at the moment!
And with a big fat duck to his name currently, then he may not be staying long.
If he gets another low score then he'll be in danger. Also if they play Root next match to try him out, and Root scores well then he'll be in danger again! So Compton only has his little toe in the door at the moment! He'll need runs to get his foot in!  ;)

Not sure about GM for Prior, maybe they should just let Samit Patel fly their flag now, and give him a bit of a push instead.  Based on current form, there's absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be a regular on this tour.  Nice to see him using the Argon too!

Think Prior could just be having a bit of fun, trying out some kit whilst he is a free man

I'd imagine many costs are lower in India; labour and property being the main two. Possibly, Health and Safety and environmental obligations are not be so onerous. Also their volume of production will help bring economies of scale.

Lets hope SS brings more luck to Proir then it did to Bopara as after he changed to SS he had a shocker..

I think even they Proir has used various brands like Slazenger his bats are usually picked at Newbery!

Bopara didn't have a lot of luck with SS. I heard a rumour that Bopara also lost a couple of his bats to someone called Harris? Not sure how true that is though!  ;)

I'd always thought that too.....for no other reason than he plays at Sussex so it seemed the logical maker to use!
