Aussie cricketers prepared to strike

[aussie1st]

Australian cricket is on the verge of an ugly industrial dispute, with the players preparing for strike action if a contract is not struck by the end of the month.

Australian Cricketers Association head Paul Marsh confirmed last night there were contingency plans should the two sides fail to agree before July 1.

The players are said to have examined a boycott of next month's one-day tour of England or the Twenty20 world championships.

Been a year for pay disputes! Never thought I'd see the day where the Aussies strike as they usually have a good relationship between the players and the board.
