"I have never ever doubted, not for one moment, the drive of Shane Watson," Arthur said. "Not for one moment. Shane Watson prepares well. He's very professional and he goes about his business in a very professional way. I've not ever been in a position to doubt Shane Watson the person or Shane Watson the cricketer. Usman Khawaja is different. This will be the catalyst I think for Usman Khawaja to realise we're pretty serious in the Australian cricket team."

Patto had it easy too! He just had to write "#1 wicket taker" and walk out
Should have just said their dog ate it
This is all so Clarke can avoid batting at 3 or 4.
Ed Cowan safe as houses, had probably written Mr. Arthur a book on the matter
It would be interesting know the titles submitted "The Year I took a Wicket" by X Doherty
Ussie failed because his proposed essay: "Gritty Painful 20s and 30s....How You Can Do It Too" had already been submitted by Ed Cowan.

I actually think the side needed this. The makeup of this squad was terrible, half of them haven't proven themselves at shield level let alone in tests, we all knew it was a terrible squad and now hopefully the spotlight will be put squarely on the team to ensure a repeat effort in the ashes doesn't eventuate.

And this is a complete and utter joke. This kind of activity is straight out of the "How to Manage Employees For Dummies" manual for incompetent managers. Boof needs to take over as coach of Australia.

I think the experts say it well
"I'm surprised that's the penalty for something so mundane. It seems like it was on a schoolboy tour or something. It's an over the top reaction."
Former Australia captain Allan Border
"I'm stunned. I've never heard of this sort of thing before at top level in any sport. When you are losing there are niggling things there but they're grown men, it's not school boy stuff. It's not under-6s, this is Test cricket… there would have been a better way."
Former Australia batsman Mark Waugh
"From my experience report writing is not a player's strength, no surprise to hear some failing, need to focus more on field short comings?"
Former Australia allrounder Tom Moody
"Adults we are, not schoolboys! Please let's act properly and make good decisions in India! Need these boys playing."
Former Australia batsman Darren Lehmann
"To many wrong people are picked for jobs who give a fancy presentation!!"
Former Australia batsman Damien Martyn
"What is going on with Aussie Cricket?? Didn't realise you had to do an essay to get a selection these days..!!!!!"
Former England captain Michael Vaughan
"Implications from these actions are serious.. I feel it is deeper than it appears. Aust are in trouble!!"
Former Australia batsman Dean Jones
"Financially cricket is great these days, but I'm glad I played when it was enjoyable and cricket was all that mattered - wickets and runs."
Former England fast bowler Darren Gough

Seems like the incompetent thing to do would have been to give 18 odd people a task that 14 odd people did, and then completely over-look the fact that 4 people did not bother to attempt the task that was required of them and then not punish them

The thing is though that the punishment should have fit the crime. Acting like an arsehole and publicly sacking four of your players from the next test for such a small thing screams of an overreaction. There should have been a warning, or the four of them should have been made to do an extra hour of compulsory fielding drills instead. The whole point of the coach is to help the team win, not piss all over his players.
