Aussie players in hot water??

[Northern_Swan]

As unlikely as it was, it was still a remote possibility that they would be - and if they've gone out and got blotto, then that's really disappointing. Quite typical of the modern Australian cricketer as well. Stuff cricket, better things to do.

You'd think Clarke and Hughes might have done well to avoid any more reasons to pack them off other than their pea-hearted and pathetic efforts at the crease.

Wouldn't be the first time for Hughes. At the Birmingham test in '09 (where he announced he was dropped on twitter) he was out legless after day 1. Of all the bars in Birmingham, why he chose to go to the walkabout with all of the Aussie fans remains a mystery.

please be true please be true

please be true please be true

They are not Victorians so they will be reprieved and another 9 lives added to their contracts.

 

[beez]

Clarke and Hughes if you are interested in twitter rumours

Well it can't be Clarke or Hughes as they can't really be considered batsman

Yep, cos none of our players enjoyed a beer back in the 60's, 70's and 80's

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Sensational!!! Best thing I've heard all day. Now f**k them off and get some guys in who give a damn!

+1

What, when it was barely professional?

These clowns are on base contracts of more than 1 million per year. You'd like to think in return they'd be able to show a bit more discipline and restraint than to go get maggoted after Day 3 of an Ashes Test Match.

 

[Admiral Byng]

We probably need to wait for more facts before getting too carried away.

C'mon mate, that's not the BigFooty way.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Pretty disappointing, particularly for the vice captain.

Even more so, considering he's likely to be captain for the Sydney test.

 

[dumb]

getting drunk is one thing, i'm surprised they had the nerve to even show their face. pretty much half of australia wants a crack at pup.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Lol bit of a non issue, but it wont stop the frothing Victorians from jumping around like some rabid monkeys.

Just relax, this wont get Cameo White into the test side

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Andrew Symonds was stood down for something similar, IIRC.

And Clarke was rite in the mix of all that in terms of the decision making by the team leadership

You said it was typical of modern cricketers to go out an get hammered. Why is it typical behaviour of modern cricketers? I'd say it's typical of cricketers in general.

Forgot all about that. That's what ended their friendship.

Oh the hypocrisy.

 

[TheMase]

Storm in a teacup.

 

[NQTIGER]

Look they were out celebrating Clarkes Appointment as captain and Hughes VC, give the guys some slack.

CA announcement at 5-30 pm AEST

 

[ROSEMVP]

hopefully clarke is dropped and white gets captaincy.

 

[Cousin Jed]

You've said that about 10 times already.

Please stop.

 

[Jolldo87]

Anything come of this or just a nothing story?

 

[The OBSTacle]

I want Clarke ouit of the side as much as anyone, but for going to a bar???


FFS, what is the world coming to?

 

[damochandler]

who gives a shit any way. did they do anything stupid, other than playing shit cricket?

nope
