Cricket Australia lying, says Marsh

Paul Marsh believes "in nine days time, cricket potentially will be a sport in a world of pain".

The man who negotiated the most recent pay deals for Australia's footballers and cricketers has accused Cricket Australia of lying in its latest pitch to players.

Money talks, the rest is lip service

AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has brokered an amicable player pay deal, while cricket struggles to resolve its impasse.

So one of the two great sports pay dramas of the day comes to an amicable end, with only one i left to be dotted and t crossed at the end of the season.
