When you bring someone in like that without a fee but big wages it does risk having a knock on effect. Agents of other players then argue that if that player is getting £x, then their client should get nearer that as well. It can lead to ballooning inflation of the wage bill (even more so that...
Yeah, but they could do the same carbon neutral stuff without needing to plant huge numbers of trees if they just didn't go on tours or do gigs.

Fact is...
Losing the Ashes I can accept. What I can't accept is the manner in which they've gone about it.
Piss poor preparation. Risky squad selection which inevitably bit us on the arse. Playing a style that isn't going to get you consistent results in test matches. The fact that the egos of those in...
