This has to out huge doubt on where Watson is at. He's the vice captain and he's been dumped for disciplinary reasons. Not good.

 

[Jono]

Watson is a ****ing joke dead set. After having the 2009/10 he had, to fall this far in 2 years... Amazing.

 

[dermo]

if moises performs in this test Watson is ****ed

 

[Spikey]

so this is our new way of saying we're resting a player eh

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Might not be a bad thing for Pattinson, saves him for bigger things ahead but what chances the others may have put their places in the squad under threat now?

Guess it depends what they have done and whether it has been done more than once.

waiting for spikey to comment

edit: well the **** beat me to it

was trying to find the quote from the simpsons where homer wonders how krusty feels about something and it turns out he doesn't find it funny at all, someone help

 

[Spikey]

ian chappell to blame this on watson not opening btw


i guess this means hughes will be playing. and smitteh. but smitteh was probably always playing over usman

Arthur said Watson and Pattinson, as well as Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Johnson, had failed to deliver a presentation which management asked all players to complete following the embarrassing innings defeat in Hyderabad last week.

Players were asked to outline three points on what they bring to the team by email or in person, and given five days to complete the task. The four players did not complete the assignment by the given deadline.

Arthur said the shock axings were a move to maintain standards in team culture. "This is a line in the sand," he said.

This is going to go down well

This is going to go down well

ahahahahahhahahah can not wait to read the thoughts of the punters

 

[ajdude]

This is going to go down well

yeah they should've asked for an extension imo. monash takes 10% off the final result for every day late, surely they could've gotten away with that

i bet johnson used the old "my dog ate it"

 

[benchmark00]

Meh. Seems like it's just apathy. Whatever. Not as if they went out on the tiles the night before a game or retweeted Shane Warne or something really bad like that.

 

[dermo]

ahahhaahahah wtf is this there ****in professional cricketers not high school students ffs

 

[Spikey]

watson getting punished for that is legitimately fair, given he's vice captain and all. he's supposed to, you know, do that lame ****

 

[Spark]

Half my tutors/lecturers don't even check the homework boxes for like three days after the due date. Useful tstl.

 

[Flem274*]

Harsh on Watson and Johnson. They did outline what they bring to the team.

 

[Spikey]

don't find it in anyway surprising that pattinson does not do homework

 

[Cevno]

So they've been punished for not doing their home work ?

 

[Spikey]

would love to see maxwell's homework
