Average salary is £18,000. That's taking into account the London mark-up. Some shitheap county like Derbyshire - they're probably on £12,000 on average. So, someone like a decent English player, Lungley or someone would be on about 4-5 times the wage.

By 'average salary' I was on about the national average including all jobs.

Which makes their obsession with Kolpaks all the more infuriating. Ah well, it's their funeral.

Poor Leastershire.

I think the ECB have been looking at this from the wrong angle all along. Instead of trying to impose limits on the number of overseas players counties recruit - they could just as easily have decreed that counties must play nine England qualified players at all times. No restraint of trade there surely, as it leaves counties free to recruit as many non-qualified players as they like.

Thanks. That seems low considering the farkin prices you pay . . . (not that living in Sydney was cheap . . . )

Not really, theres a huge difference between London salaries and the rest of the country.

and therefore, a huge difference in the cost of living too
