Kid Dynamite 6082 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 So does Stokes literally get £1.7mil in his back pocket for 6 weeks work? On top of his £700k central contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I was wondering about that myself. Apparently Durham will get some money from the ECB for him being there and missing some time with them. So you would think that the ECB must be getting something out of him being there.

Alex 30758 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I thought I'd seen something in the past about some money going to the player and some going to the BCCI but all the articles I've seen reporting it seem to think he gets £1.7m for the tournament.

David Kelly 1117 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Aye the write up about it in the Guardian says that Stokes is getting £1.7m. I think he might have to pay something to people who helped him get that though but I suppose that the same as any athlete paying an agent. He's getting more than Kholi and Dhoni which is the biggest surprise. It will be interesting to see how they use him. I think with England he has to bat a fair way down the order because of the other batsmen. I think he could do a lot better if he was played further up.

I definitely think Stokes has got a lot more to give in the ODI format for England like. We're seeing the best of him in test matches, but we could see more from him due to how talented he is. As you've mentioned though I don't think it's all down to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Good test here between India and Australia, could go either way. Kohli kicking off with Smith for trying to take advice from the dressing room whether to review or not. Pretty pathetic from the Aussie commentators saying Smith might not have known the rules. He's been playing with DRS for a lot longer than India have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 20135 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Looks like it'll clash with test matches in the English summer too so the likes of stokes and Buttler might not be able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm surprised at the initial proposal of allowing only three overseas players too. Thought there would be a lot more, although probably gives more clout for the franchises to offer obscene money to your Kohlis etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Michael Vaughan can fuck off getting behind the idea of playing some World Cup games in the Olympic Stadium like. Perhaps if they want to take matches away from Lords or the Oval then absolutely crack on with it, but there's not a chance that they'd do that. They'd just end up taking games away from a region that could really do with having the exposure of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
