To implement a system based on winning. The winning culture in WI cricket has long died and an endless period of mediocrity has taken over. A performance based payment system is needed now! If we're truly being honest, a performance based system was needed decades ago.
We can not sit back and watch these 'clowns' completely destroy our legacy, while making significant sums for below average performances. It hurts me to demean our cricketers, but I believe their care very little about how they're perceived. They clearly lack accountability. No accountability for themselves or for the region they represent. Hence, an incentive based performances structure should be implemented urgently.
Winning a series should constitute full pay regardless of indivisual performance. However, outside of that, match fees should be based on indivisual performances per game.
For instance, a lost series should automatically constitute 50% percent match fees per game, with individual performances, in each game of the series, increasing that percentage per game.
In other words, a player making a 100 or taking 5 wickets in the game two of a lost series, should still be able to reach full match salary, for that particular game, based on a well thought out system.
Players making 50 runs or taking 3 wickets, in a lost series, should make 75% match salary, for that particular game.
Batting scores between 0-20 should not be rewarded incentives in a lost series. Batting scores between 21-49, in a lost series, should receive 60% match fees.
Same goes for bowlers, bowlers who take one wicket or less, in a match, in a series lost, should not be rewarded incentives. Two wickets, in a match, in a series lost, should receive 60% match fees, for that particular game.
Hopefully, CWI can quickly implement something like this. Otherwise this 'bottomless pit' will only continue to get bigger.
