The Cobras players will apply for the right to strike after failing to resolve concerns over coach Paul Adams with the Western Cape Cricket (WCC) board. The long-standing issues continue after the board refused to implement a recommendation by the countrys dispute resolution body, the Council for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) to appoint an independent assessor to look into Adams suitability for the job.While the CCMA cannot make a binding ruling, it can issue confirmation of unresolved matters which then allows for lawful and protected industrial action.Any kind of industrial action is always a very last resort for players and we hope it doesnt come to that, Tony Irish, CEO of the South African Cricketers Association (SACA), said. However the players have been asking the franchise to properly address this issue for many months, but to no avail, and have exhausted every constructive process available to them with the franchise. We will now seek Cricket South Africas assistance and intervention before considering what further steps to take.At the end of the last season, the players expressed their concerns over Adams tactical acumen and man-management skills following a trophy-less summer - the first since he took over in 2012. Over the winter, Adams underwent a leadership course and was offered a new two-year contract, prompting the players to ask for SACAs assistance.They players raised a formal grievance with the board, who brought in Paddy Upton, the former South Africa assistant coach, as a mediator. In a report which has not been made public, Upton recommended Adams be moved to another role at the Cobras and a new coach be sought.The WCC dismissed Uptons materially deficient report since he had not interviewed all the franchise players. Instead, they appointed Ashwell Prince as Adams assistant and Alan Dawson as convener of selectors. Dawson has since resigned, citing an inability to make an impact given the fundamental problem between the players and the coach.While the players have not made public their exact complaints about Adams, they continue to speak through SACA about their disappointment in what they see as WCCs unwillingness to solve the situation.SACA and the players are disappointed by the franchises response to our proposals on a process which we believe would have resolved the matter once and for all, Irish said. We had proposed a process for an independent cricket person to monitor and assess the coachs situation on the ground within the team over a three-week period and thereafter to make a recommendation as to what should happen with the coaching situation. His recommendation would be accepted by all, and binding on the players.The franchise has however rejected the proposal out of hand without proposing any alternative, despite having indicated to us that they were in favour of some form of monitoring. It is very obvious that the franchise team is in disarray. The most frustrating aspect is that it appears that the board of the franchise simply refuses to acknowledge that there is actually a problem at all, despite everything that has happened, and is now happening, around it. The unhappiness has spilled onto the field too. The Cobras have lost three of their first four first-class matches and are playing their fifth without captain Omphile Ramela, who is suspended following disciplinary action on an unrelated matter.

The Rays had scored a total of five runs in losing their first five games this season at the ballpark, including a doubleheader sweep on Tuesday during which they managed a pair of runs on 10 combined hits. Jose Molina and Evan Longoria each had three of Tampa Bays 15 hits and the Rays ended a three-game losing streak with their second win in eight games. After going a combined 1 for 7 in his extended major league debut during Tuesdays doubleheader, top prospect Wil Myers delivered a two-run double during Tampa Bays three-run seventh that broke the game open. Rays pitchers retired 16 of the last 18 batters of the game, yielding one hit over the final five frames. Jacoby Ellsbury and Jonny Gomes had two hits apiece for the Red Sox, who lost for the second time in five games, but still lead Baltimore by 1 1/2 games in the AL East. Coming off one of his worst outings of the season, Hellickson (5-3) surrendered two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and no walks. It was a vast improvement from Thursday, when he tied his career-high by allowing eight runs in a 10-1 loss to Kansas City. Ryan Dempster (4-8) was seeking his third win in four starts, but was hit hard in the first inning before settling down. The right-hander gave up three runs on eight hits over six innings, walking two and striking out three. The Rays scored as many runs in the first Wednesday as they did in 18 innings a day earlier. Jennings hit his ninth homeer with one out in the first, depositing Dempsters sixth pitch of the game into the seats above the Green Monster in left field.dddddddddddd The Rays made it 2-0 when Ben Zobrist singled, moved to third on a base hit by Longoria and scored on a sacrifice fly by James Loney. Boston cut it to 2-1 in the second when David Ortiz led off with a double to deep centre and later scored on an infield single by Gomes. Longoria nearly saved a run in the fourth on a liner by Gomes, but the third baseman couldnt squeeze the ball in his outstretched glove, allowing Jarrod Saltalamacchia to trot home and tie the game. Dempster retired seven straight before Molina singled to open the fifth and scored on a base hit by Zobrist that put the Rays back on top for good. Longoria added an RBI single off reliever Craig Breslow in the seventh that made it 4-2 before Myers doubled to right field off Alex Wilson.
