For sportsmen nowadays county cricket wages are stunning.

Can you provide an example please ?

I would say the only players earning good money from cricket are the international players on central contracts or playing in the IPL etc. Even then they are earning less than the equivalent footballer, tennis player, golfer etc.

A county cricketer doesn't earn huge money.

I don't think they earn thousands per week like average footy players in league 1

YARKKKKKshire

They basically won the championship with homegrown players. Swap in Pyrah for Brooks and job done.

Lyth
Lees
Root
Gale
Bairstow
Leaning
Rashid
Breslad
Pyrah
Patterson
Sidebottom

Done.

This image is from a comparison article in all out cricket showing what a week of Wayne Rooney's wages will buy in county cricket. That is why his gurning mug is at the centre of the picture.

a bit less I think for an average county cricketer, but even at £60k, well an average footballer earns that a week.

Great stuff that Cowcorner. So around £40k for a seasoned opening bat.

Depends who you play for too - some counties such as Lancashire, Notts and Surrey pay well up to the top end of the sclae and others pay rather less.

Much as I would have loved to have done it, I don't doubt being a county cricketer is hard work.

You are still getting paid to do something you love, I would imagine it gets harder when you have a family, but so do most jobs.

I expect it is possible to fall out of love with cricket.
