Mega paid under performers.

under performers, possibly

mega paid??? surely not

How much are they paid?

a/ for the 20/20
b/ annual income? (All in)

(I will some research!)

KP - 20/20 income vs performance - massively overpaid I expect.
All the IPL guys overpaid.

If they are going to play the IPL - need to be able to play properly on their central contracts.

In the infamous Stanford event - only one team wanted it - lots of the English apparently didn"t need the money!?!

Feels weird to be playing for your country and being so off the boil.

So happy to say "oh well" ...

Now Louis, that is worrying!!!

You must remember that 4 he hit to win the one day final for Notts ... in "89

One of those hot balmy finals ...

I loved watching those finals - especially when Somerset made it - (Botham, Garner, Richards).

Cricket felt better then ...

Collingwood Press Conference:

"We are due a good performance" - why?

"The best team doesn"t always win" - true - but is this the best way to prepare?

Aside - have to fancy NZ to beat Pakistan.

Pakistan on fire ... Affridi just held an amazing catch ... 73-5 (12.3 Overs)

Looks like I will take a shoe"ing on my bet.

All the momentum with Pakistan, par score at the Oval is 180.  Unless NZ bowl out of their skins this group will be wide open !

[Honeybadg]

Pakistan so hot and cold ... but with tails up looking good ...

I expect they might make a meal of the chase ... but looking like a feeble total.

Kiwi"s can"t handle the pressure, great bowling by Gul !

Kiwi"s can"t handle the pressure, great bowling by Gul !

Gul doing a Wasim Akram cameo ... fair play ... nightmare to face straight bowling with late movement ...

Wow 99 all out!

Should be a stroll in the park for Pakistan now, only 5 an over.  NZ need a miracle.

[Honeybadg]

NZ start narrow favourites.

Now 16.5/1

I had NZ for most sixes too ... so hopefully they get them in singles!

One to beat!

[Honeybadg]

Pakistan trying to conjure up an absurd defeat ... would be a classic! 61-3.

cmon Ireland

Great performance by Ireland, once again pushing their opponents all the way ! Coming out of this tournament with more credit in the International Cricket Scene.

Superb bowling performance by the Irish, against one of the best one day batting teams in the business !!
