I think there are
Six Australian players who earn $2 million or more, three between $500,000 and $1.5 million, and seven under $500,000, the lowest of which is Xavier Bartlett on $122,000.
So lots of money there.
The 100, England's competition, it has a salary cap of $4 million.
The highest-paid player there is 890,000.
The highest-paid Australian is Tim David on 650,000.
Now, we come to the BBL, and we've got a salary cap of 3.1 million.
The highest-paid Australian players...
are on about $400,000 from the BBL.
They get well paid elsewhere by Cricket Australia, but from the BBL it's about $400,000.
So we see $4 million in the IPL, $890,000 in the $100,000, $400,000 in Australia.
And the numbers go down.
As you work your way down the list, the numbers in Australia are correspondingly lower than in the other leagues.
So, and we look at South Africa, we look at the USA, Pakistan, West Indies, they've all got their own leagues and they're all competing for the same player pool.
Now, the issue there is, is it important to Australia to have players
a strong 2020 league?
Or can we just sit back and say, look, we're not going to get into a player payment war here.
We're just going to take, we'll take the best players who want to play in our league at our level.
We'll keep the player payments at about the same level and we'll do the best we can and see where that leaves us.
I think that's dangerous.
