quote:caught up with my mate (brother in law of mike hussey) and got some pretty interesting info ok, there has been alot of talk around the attitude of michael clarke for years, he is a selfish wnker. Mike apparantly was promised at a minimum two one dayers in the ODI series, in Perth, he was promised this on the back of "best available" talk. It is probably worth mentioning that alot of the players are a bit scared of clarke in terms of the fact that he is a selector now, so they avoid trying to pss him off. Anyways at some point clarke called mike over (after the end of play) and asked if he could have a word. In this discussion he told mike that he wouldnt be playing because they were "looking to the future" mike asked about best available side and all that sht and clarke said "you can have a lap of honor before we play the ODI in Perth" to whihc mike told him to shove his lap up his as. Cricket Australia didnt want to announce the axing but certain members of the hussey camp "accidentally" dropped the hint to journos around the country clarkey wasnt happy about this and i guess it set the tone for the following couple of days (this was after play day 3 from memory). So then the day before the game finished mike was asked by clarke what he wanted to do for his last game, and he said that he wanted to just sit in the changerooms and get pssed with the team and the entire support staff. Michael Clarke then proceeded the following day to organise to go on James Packers massive boat (which they could do any time for the next 3 days) but he wanted to go that evening the test ended. Dunno how much I trust it, but yeah, more info.

Sounds like Clarke couldn't get over the fact Hussey took away his control by retiring on his own terms so made a big deal out of it.

It sounds like bullshit to me. It really depends if Watson is out of touch with reality enough to piss off tyrant Clarke. Watson is out of form with the bat to the point where he honestly should be dropped. Why would he be going around making obvious power plays towards the captain and safest player in the side if Clarke is some kind of insane Nazi. Watson is basically a dues ex machina in the story. He flies down from heaven to allow the players to not go on the party boat. Could be true but I'm suspect of stories that follow an obvious narrative. Especially when Watson acts like ten times the clown Clarke does on the field.

Everything that Dave Warner does in that story also seems really suspect.

Brad Hodge will never go awayquote:"Would I like to play for Australia? Of course, everyone would," Hodge said in Dhaka. "I probably deserved to play a little bit more when I had the opportunity. It seems that there seems to be a lot more rotating players then when I was in my prime.

Those all seems like things Clarke would do, especially in light of the whole Katich thing. Hodge owns but he's the type who wouldn't put up with Clarke's nonsense so he has no chance. He quite clearly should be in the T20 side at least if it was picked on form. edit: Good on Siddle and Lyon if that story is true.
