While there can be no doubt that golfer earn more than any other sports people, I have discovered recently that the cricketers are earning far more than I anticipated. I pretty much had regard to the national and provincial packages that they get plus the bonus schemes they get when they do well in a major tournament. I did not realise that they are as lucky enough to be auctioned off at the Indian IPL cricket auction every year, actually get whatever they are auctioned for, less 10% tax only, each year for three years! In other words, if you are auctioned off for $400 000,00, essentially for your 6 or 8 weeks of IPL cricket, you now get a guaranteed, after tax $360 000,00 a year for three years! Have a great month just before the auction, like J P Duminy had in Australia some years ago, and the $900 000,00 you were auctioned for will essentially make you rich for life!
