I see in some of the papers that the money making machine is rolling on the back of Englands Ashes win. Low and behold a watch has been produced to celibrate this bit of history
and a nice whatch it is to though I would not buy one. Something to remember the series is all well and good but whats next books, DVD TV series who knows but does it have to go this far?
 
A book and DVD will definately follow Spuggie, infact I'm surprised they haven't been released already!
 
i wouldn,t buy one but theres always a market for this trivia,don,t blame anyone for making a bob or two.
 
they deserve it they arnt on 60/90 grand a week like your toffee nosed soft ass football players,at least they have won summat!so did the ladies congratulations to the both teams!the world today revolves around that one word...........money!
 
iwould rather cough up money to the cricket team any day.than that sniveling ,over paid ,vulgar ,excuse for celebrity footballer,(mickey) sorry i mean wayne rooney
i am glad he is not my son.....
 
although i cant stand cricket i dont see why the players cant make a few quid off their efforts although it would be nice to see a percentage goto wards promoting sports in schools etc

although there already maybe a percentage going somwhere similar
 
The players are now likely to make a few quid with magazine deals and sponsorships, good luck to them I say!
 
Why should footy players be the only ones to make a bit of money so I hope they get every penny they can from this bit of history. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
They'll probably have their own semi-naked calenders out in time for Christmas!
 
England cricketers get paid through the ECB's central contracts system which is divided into three bands. New central contracts are currently being negotiated by the Professional Cricketers Association but currently the top players earn £160,000 annually, the second level is £130,000 and the third level £107,000, although there are match fees, tour fees and win bonuses including a £500,000 squad bonus for winning the Ashes.
Your better England player with an Ashes win will have earned close to a million pounds this year with match fees and win bonuses and the lucky ones will have thier own endorsment deals which will bring in money for a couple of years.
