4 axed for 3rd test

[Underdog]

They were asked to do a self analysis and they failed to do so. A common request in any professional organisation......... I do one annually.

Via text message?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Fair point....herald sun reporting it though. Probably could have worded the post a bit better. Too many cans has a negative impact on structuring sentences correctly

Haha fair enough.

Coming home earlier than first planned might be the best thing for the situation, though. Especially if there is some tension between the suspended and the ones doing the suspending.

 

[matty p]

Anyone here.

If your boss told you to send a text on 3 ways you can improve by saturday, who wouldn't do it?

It's not like they wanted an essay.

My boss wouldn't ask for that kind of thing over text, nor would I expect any professional bosses to do so.

My boss wouldn't do that because its unprofessional. We'd have a meeting or at a pinch lay our thoughts in an email so it's easily filed and documented.

Yeah that's lulzy.

Still amazed that the players couldn't be bothered to send a token text.

Or even just talk to Arthur on Saturday. They are in the same hotel.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Should Leading Teams be brought into the Australian Cricket team?

 

[Natho]

The next test could get ugly.

But if he did, would you just forget?

For anyone on sportingbet, they have an interesting market that is still open for betting

1st Innings - Most Runs
Warner vs Watson

Warner paying $1.80

 

[Doodlesweaver]

A formal presentation over something documented in a text message. Ridiculous.


I'm betting they really didn't think it applied to them.

I'll bet Johnson never has to give a formal presentation, it's all done via text. Who the hell would want to listen to him, umming and ahhing while his two brain cells play chasey inside that head of his?

 

[King Elvis]

Reports coming in Watson has told them to get stuffed and has left the tour

I think it's been obvious that Watto hasn't been happy with the ways things are going for quite a while now.

 

[Underdog]

What's so difficult about ordering some sandwiches, powerade and getting around a conference table for an hour?

 

[western royboy]

I often say I like politics, but it's actually not true. What I like is elections, systems of government.

What I don't like is this kind of information - actual politics, based around the powers that be and the factions in whatever.

Certainly, you don't have to like it or be liked to be a good leader, but Ted Ballieu and Kevin Rudd will attest that it certainly helps.

It would appear to me that Michael and Mickey are putting the line in the sand, whether it helps or hinders things remains to be seen.

Obviously not underdog.........the issue isn't what was asked of them, the issue is the lack of discipline to follow through with what was asked of them.
How about some good old fashioned application, a do as your told attitude, and appreciation of the privileged position they are in.
I'm tired of this whole "snub your nose at authority, I know best" mentality.
As an employee, if you're asked to do something.......just do it

I dunno, asked for thee areas to improve on I'd say: batting, bowling and fielding.

That would fit in a text message.

yeah
In the Hussey-Clarke thing Watto sided with Hussey.

No good, both players must face a ball for bets like that to stand. Like the thinking though.

 

[King Elvis]

The same Hughes who has made 10 runs in 2 Tests and can't play spin to save himself.

Guess it pays off being a buddy of the skipper...

The same Hughes who has done everything, and more, that was asked of him after he was dropped to protect Johnson - and did it all without a hint of petulance or complaint?

The same Hughes who CA wouldn't allow time to spend with his Coach in an effort to help him come to grips with the conditions in the most hostile and unusual away series we play?

 

[bartel magic]

And as the VC he should have been one of the first to do it. No matter how mundane the task being set might appear to be, it was requested by the coach and as such the members of the leadership group should, you know, lead by example.

The fact that the team's VC apparently didn't get around to it is an indictment. Watson, especially given his role within the team is culpable here.

This!!!!!!!!...........says it perfectly

 

[western royboy]

yeah
In the Hussey-Clarke thing Watto sided with Hussey.

Yet according to all media outlets and the CA Press release and the puff piece with Huss and Crash Craddock it never happened

 

[sherb]

It's not going to have a significant impact on the side is it?

Ussie and MJ weren't in the side anyway and not many would have had them coming in. Watson wasn't performing with the bat.

Pattinson is the only significant loss.

Smith in for Watson and Starc in for Pattinson. With Haddin to replace Wade if needed.

 

[iDon]

Very silly move by Watson.

Toys were definitely thrown out of his pram.

Perhaps its another Clarke issue? Or am I reading into it a little too much here.

 

[CAS79]

Gripping question is which of the smart kids did David Warner cheat off?

especially when it takes all of two seconds to do.
