Money should not be bigger than the game
It is an eye-opener in more ways than one to compare the days when I started playing the game and the way youngsters go about their job today. In the mid-1970s cricket was still an amateur sport and I can only talk for myself here as I took it up for the sheer pleasure of going out and having a good game. Accolades and money came later but unless an athlete enjoys his sport, no amount of wealth will be enough to satisfy him.
