Life just keeps getting better for the two Brad's!    Both have picked up lucrative IPL contracts overnight.

The Rajasthan Royals purchased both players, with Hodge selling for $A445,000 and Hogg $A169,000.

Hogg, who turns 41 in a couple of days must still be kicking himself. He retired from proper cricket 3 years ago, but was called into the Australian 20/20 team last week.    A huge effort at his age and especially in today's game where players are called 'OLD" when they hit 30.

And Hodge, who quit first-class cricket in 2010 and retired from domestic one-dayers in January, will collect a huge IPL wage just a fortnight after signing up for the Bangladesh Premier League for $A131,150.

Not a bad pay day for these 2 fellas who questionably didn't play for Australia as many times as they should have, nor reaped the dollars they probably deserved when compared to their more celebrated team mates.

Good luck to them.   What do you think?
