interesting..

Adding the interest makes you think he's just being a dickhead, but the base claim arguably has merit.

Damp Squarie · Jan 19, 2015

Proves what a cork sucker the collar standing prick was.

What a vegetable.

ClokesShankedIt · Jan 19, 2015

Not sure what problem people have with this? CA are famous for not wanting to have anything to do with players the second they are dropped - I would not be surprised if there is something to the claim.

PHX · Jan 19, 2015

MacGill claims he is owed injury payments to the tune of $1,640,890 and interest of $984,534.

This amount includes tour payments of $846,090 for 15 away test matches, tour payments of $140,800 for 11 home game test matches, annual retainer payments of $627,000 and $27,000 prize money for nine series.

MacGill was a contracted cricket player since 1998 and entered into a one-year contract for the period 2009 to 2009 in June 2007, according to the writ.

Stuey must rate himself as quite the investor too with that interest accrual over six years.

But if he was contracted to the end of 2009 it at least appears the claim has legs even if he is a right corkpaigner.

Why has he taken nearly six and a half years to make this claim, though? You'd think if this was money that he was genuinely owed, and he was making his living from cricket, that he would have been right onto it at the time it was not being paid, or soon after.

Well he still had all the other endorsements and potential future playing career in other forms of the game to take care of. Go public then and he would've been instantly black-listed. This seems a little slow even considering that but would be the main reason I'd think.

he has probably run out of dough for his wine cellar

If he's owed money, fair enough pay him and get on with it. The interest thing is bound to raise eyebrows though.

Maybe he's been trying behind the scenes to get CA to play ball, and has been forced into this due to them refusing to talk.

If you're in a dispute with someone, you don't instantly sue as the first resort. You try other routes first.

Whats next, blokes suing CA for being dropped. What a joke.

It's pretty standard to include interest on any writ.

If you don't ask - you don't get - out of court settlement financial details suppressed coming up. Fwiw, I had the pleasure of having a night in his company at the Randwick Rugby Club almost 20 years ago - he is no fool, calls a spade a spade, but I enjoyed the fact that he was prepared to explain his position on anything with a more than reasonable argument.

Interesting to see how two 43 year old spinners hailing from W.A. are going ?.

One is rolling his arm over very nicely ( still bamboozling the whippersnappers ), building a nice list of endorsements and media gigs.

One is in the background, media gigs are in the past and his calculator used for interest calculation, is suffering from a short circuit.

He's looking for a return of roughly 8% there which is ridiculous really considering the risk free rate over the last 6 years has been low. Makes me think he's just being a dick.

yeah why not? as it hurts their feelings and decreases their earning potential and marketing capacity :drunk:

04 Durif · Jan 20, 2015

This claim would be treated like any workplace injury. He is more than entitled to claim lost earnings and treatment costs. May as well claim as much as you can and negotiate from there.

Like Matthew Hayden, Damien Martyn, Justin Langer et al

Bodicifer · Jan 20, 2015

Wonder if he's gone down the no win no fee path with the ambulance chasers

King Elvis · Jan 20, 2015

Apparently part of the issue relates to the fact he retired off of his own bat, when CA apparently wanted him to play on.
