CDG seems to be benefitting from his team mates carrying the slack left by him, the fact the entire Kiwi top 6 have been making runs and the bowling double of Southee and Boult have done so well have really covered over the fact that CDG hasn’t been making runs or taking wickets.
I think if the side wasn’t winning so much he would have dropped by now.

Ya its anyone's guess- I'm going with about 8k a month. The difference is your money generally goes a lot further in those countries. Here you burn through 4-5k just trying to survive and live a vaguely agreeable existence.
4k a month in those countries and you're paying off a mortgage on your own place, have a decent car or two, kids are at good schools, there's savings in that as well.
I don't know what he's getting for this BBL, but it will be anywhere from 50k-150k. That's years of savings rolled into a month.

Surprising that he got a lucrative deal a this stage of his career. Good for him. For me, he is a typical Zimbo who knows how to use the aggressive field setting in tests to his advantage by going after the bowling, but has made lesser impact as a batsman in ODIs and T20Is (kind of rich man's PJ Moor :D). But overall, the mark he leaves is significant. He has made telling contributions to NZ cricket. One of the actual success stories of leaving Zim to forge a meaningful international career elsewhere. There aren't many of those. Best wishes to him with the next stage too. May be he can give Zim cricket a crack as a 39 year old later? :D

I think the Grandhomme family was extremely p**sed with ZC back in the day.
Kind of like a ‘get f***ed I’m out and f**k you I’ll do a s**t on your lawn on the way out’ thing.
That’s my memory from 15 years ago so don’t quote me, but not a stretch to believe.
