Murphy: Respects authority figures.
So people are allowed to say whatever they like about Watto but the guy that is responsible for one of the most ludicrous decisions in the the history of Australian sport is sacred?
Makes sense

Yep good reasoning, don't blame the person who didn't do what he was supposed to.

Th thing that strikes me as really odd about the ex-players' moaning is that in this case, the management was actually trying to leave something to the players, and four of them couldn't manage it. If you're someone who thinks coaches should just be booking the team bus, wouldn't you welcome the players being asked to come up with their own solutions? No, apparantly now that's "bureaucracy".
But I guess if people wanna bang their drum they'll grab a stick from anywhere

Name one person that has said that the players shouldnt have spent 2 minutes of their life on this exercise
Whilst you are doing that, I could just as easily come up with a list of 50 qualified people that believe the penalty is totally disproportionate to the crime

No-one's blaming you.

England did the same thing with KP, lost the match and the series. Got him back in again and won a test series in India after 28 years.
Every sport is going to have mercurial characters who have a problem with authority. Not condoning it, but personally I'd rather see such players who are star performers rather than great team players who are otherwise average performers.

Pattinson is the only one who *could* go on to be that important for Australia as KP is to Eng. Already is, actually.
Leaving aside the homework nazis for a moment, I find it pretty ridiculous how the management has deflected all criticism off the shoddy selection policy in effect on this tour. From a job-saving perspective, you have to hand it to Arthur and co., now they can always blame less than perfect work ethic for the crap performances. And hey, look, we did something about it too!

Can we just spend a moment of the fact social called this 'one of the most ludicrous decisions in the the history of Australian sport'

probably voges. would rather doolan finish off the season with tassie and get a look in for the england tour
TimAngas
State Vice-Captain
I'd agree there. Voges is old but could plug a short term hole, rather than let that said hole sink the ship that is Australia's batting lineup.
