WHat do they want??? Looking at this in isolation (ie. forgetting alleged finanical inducements not to play) I suppose the players thought "Well we took them to court to get a fair go in selection room, won the case and still were not selected so why should we do anything for them now? They obviously don't need us so stuff `em." or words to that effect. Seems pretty logical to me. This is all a pay back for still not selecting them (for the World Cup) even after winning the court case. All's fair in love and war.
