You mean "sometimes a team player" Shane Watson having a dummy spit?
Because he forgot.

But how can you forget something that is oh so ****ing valuable?

Yeah him saying it's valuable means nothing, begs a lot of questions. Such as the one you asked.
It's obviously a silly thing to be asked to do in the first place, the guys not doing it are obviously even more silly, the punishment is sillier still. Not sure what else there is to say.
Funny for the rest of the world though.

The vice-captain says the penalty is 'very harsh', but what does Skidmark think?
He thinks on the eve of a series deciding Test, now might be a good time to make a point about discipline over what by any measure is a minor infraction
It's cracking a nut with a sledge-hammer in a desperate bid to be seen to be tough and be seen to be doing something on a tour where you've presided over really poor on-field performances

Well, I'd have a word with Arthur for making players do something so stupid, but the players (especially Watto) are way more at fault IMO. It's such a silly little thing - there's no excuse for not doing it.

would have been a lot more acceptable a reason tbh

Although we dont know the full story, it's pretty obvious that neither the players (look at the results) or management (everything around the team is a shambles from selection to injury management to this) have being doing their job.
As a result, management has attempted to deflect attention/refloat the Titanic (depending on your perspective) by having a completely over the top reaction to a bull**** exercise
I dont mind a bit of discipline
but when the consequences are pretty likely to be a thrashing in this test with no guarantee of improvement then the whole thing strikes me (and the vast majority of the world's cricket community) as ludicrous
