AAP reports the 15 players in the Australian squad will get a win bonus of more than A$180,000 for their World Cup victory. It’s especially good news for Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson, who didn’t play a game.
All members of the squad will share equally in the $US2.24 million ($A2.71 million) prize money awarded to the winning team, according to Cricket Australia.
Alex Brown writes in the Sydney Morning Herald about the different prospects of the retired Glenn McGrath and the group of Australian coaches who are currently without posts.
John Buchanan, Tom Moody, Bennett King, Greg Chappell and Dav Whatmore will conclude their contractual commitments with Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies, India and Bangladesh respectively by the end of the month. Of those, only Moody seems guaranteed a position in his homeland, with Western Australia confident they have secured his services for at least the next two years.
