How much money do you get for winning our t20 tournament? I thought the big money was in the champions league that doesn't involve English clubs. Just seems as if a lot of counties are splashing the cash on overseas players.

Thanks. I've never been convinced that signing big name players will increase crowds because those big names are only really known to regular cricket supporters.

Should make it clear that those figures are for the players pool. Winning County gets 80k,losing finalist halfish. That probably wouldn't pay Gayle' s fee.

Probably not, with most counties supposedly struggling financially it seems surprising so many pay out for two overseas t20 players.

Yup. Made a right pilchard of himself.
