Australia's players won't be pressured by board - May

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The Australian cricket board faces an uphill battle to convince players to jettison a revenue-sharing model that has underpinned the game's development for 20 years, according to former union boss Tim May, who brokered the landmark deal in 1997.

As the inaugural chief executive of the Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA), May played a leading role in landing the model that has made the country's cricketers among the highest paid in the world.
