It all depends in the context. Top Australian players can earn over a million a year. The income regarding the Indian players is amazing as well.. I've heard stories that Tendulkar owns a huge amount of expensive cars. The New Zealand situation is that the 20 contracted players are split into five groups, with the captain/ vice-captain/ top players earn a basic salary of $100,000 a year plus match fees, and the lowest bracket start at a retainer of $40,000. So Fleming would earn over $200,000 annually, which is pretty good for a cricketer.cricket player said:Cricketers dont get paid that much,

So basically your comment is a slight generalisation. But compared to other mainstream sports (eg rugby and league in New Zealand) cricketers do paid less on average, that is for sure.
Wow yeah, but as i said i can only comment on the countries that i know. What currency?cricket player said:You havent mentioned how much the pakistani players were paid,
They get paid 1500 dollars a month,That sucks
It all depends on the cost of living where they are.cricket player said:You havent mentioned how much the pakistani players were paid,

Australian cricketers get paid a fair bit and are endorsed and supported by many external sponsors which contribute to an overall pay package that can be huge. I think it really depends on how good the team is and how well supported the sport is in that country. For example i had a loook at the new zealand figures that are being payed to that nations top cricketers and it is a long way below the amount the australians are getting payed.cricket player said:Cricketers dont get paid that much,

Wot, u saying that is peanuts. That is about 2.5 million pounds. that is alot of money. i am pretty sure Vaughan is the most paid English cricketer and i dont think he is even close to 1 millin pounds [that is about $US 2 million]C_C said:Cricketers earn peanuts in comparison to most other sports.
The richest circketer, by a fair margin, is Tendulkar - who earns around 5 million US$ a year (with sponsorships).
And that is peanuts.
There are dozens of Hockey stars who make that much in salary alone - top hockey stars make 9-10 million a year in salary alone.
Schumacher makes something ridiculous like 30 million a year before sponsorships..
Top tennis stars make 8-9 million a year if you count sponsorship and prize money
Top golfers win something close to that too.
Top basketball or baseball players make 10-12 million a year in salary alone.
If you wanna get rich, cricket aint the sport.
Gilchrist, Ponting and Warne with sponsorships + salary are very close to Tendulkars mark. If not a little bit more.C_C said:Cricketers earn peanuts in comparison to most other sports.
