Class-More money lostSeems the 100 is having to attempt some more "bribery" to get players to commit to the white elephant
Well the reason those two player missed it was not down to playing other t20 franchises. The wages were already a lot for the 100 and this hike isn't for all players, just an attempt to get England players to promote this cash drainNot sure bribery is the right word at all!
More just given the top players the money they might get in other T20 competitions
Seems fair enough wanting top players involved?
I also think we're not far away at all from FTECB telling England's players they won't be considered for Tests unless they make themsel available for the 16.4.
Quite embarrassing for FTECB that they have to keep begging/incentivising their own players to play in their flagship competition.
Why not? They used that exact threat to stop Test players going to the IPL when that first became an issue...Whilst I wouldn’t put anything whatsoever past FTECB, I don’t think that would be something they could get away with.

I don't think it's actually bribery hence the inverted commas
Except they aren't. Some test players aren't the best t20 players but are still the face of it. And this isn't even about targeting the best players with more pay, its specifically England InternationalsI think for it to survive and thrive (appreciate it some don’t want it too).
It’s natural to want the very best players available and it will be necessary to achieve that to pay top players top money.
The one big criticism of the hundred for me has been the lack of top top quality players in it as opposed to the IPL for example.
It was originally sold and promised as the world best short format cricketers been it and they have undoubtedly fell short on that promise.
So is it wrong to try to achieve that??
