Yup, about $13.5m USD, so thats about £7m pounds.

Not Ryan Sidebottom.

I've heard John Freida was sounding him out for a Frizz Ease endorsement.

 

[Kweek]

What do you mean? Indians should pay Sidebottom?

no, that being a professional cricketer isnt a top earning wise job.

and don't go watch more cricket outside the indian team, and support cricket worldwide.

Ah, well thats obvious. But it should be noted that the money made by Indian stars is not because of the BCCI. The salary that the board pays them is very little compared to the endorsements they sign with Nike, Reebok, etc.

Well its more about advertising. I dont know what it has to do with 'support cricket worldwide' Its similar to English soccer players making more than US soccer players.

still think the BCCI pays more then the ECB

meh, to off topic, need another topic for that.

 

[silentstriker]

It does not. BCCI pays approximately 1 crore to its top players (50 lakh retainer, plus fees per match). That comes out to $125,000 pounds. ECB pays more than that.

 

[Kweek]

The 12-month contracts are worth 130,000 pound and the players are likely to earn as much as 350,000 pound per annum once the match fee in both Test and ODI cricket is added to the sum.

So that means ECB does pay more.

According to one of the broads on SSN's, Flintoff received £500,000 from the ECB last year.

Yea, I was relatively sure that the English, Australian and South African boards pay more.

Indian players make their money off endorsements, not actual salaries.

I am sorry but whenever I start to type a reply to one of your posts, my eyes wander to that icon and I forget what I am trying to say.
