The Unit Earning System
I propose a Unit based earning system for cricketers:
- Every run scored: 1 unit
- Boundary: 6 units
- Sixer: 10 units
- Wicket taken: 25 units
- Catch taken: 15 units
- Successful stumping/runout: 15 units
- Match won: +100 units
- Match lost: -25 units*
- Man-of-the-match: +25 units
- ...and so on, if i missed something.
Assuming Sachin scores 77; takes 1 wicket; and further assuming if India wins, Sachin would walk away with Rs.102,000/-.
And kindergarten kid wouldn't think twice to calculate if he ducks.
In case the team loses and there is a negative figure on any player; he would take nothing and the same liability carry forwards to the next match.
Then, what happens to the prize money? To be used as a pool to upbring new players.
That's how appraisals work universally, right? Then why spare cricketers?!
Fair enough?
