Agreed.

Pup - and his ego , have seen a few good players left out/ kicked out of the team.

It's no secret that Katich and Clarke has issues - Katich grabbed Clarke by the throat because pup wanted to leave the dressing room before the team song was sung - because he wanted to meet his former fiancé - bimbo bingle. Clarke never forgave him.

Andrew symonds apparently bedded bingle before pup, and in a London bar, made comments to Clarke on her oral skills - Clarke was behind symonds being sent home from Darwin during a match against Bangladesh , which was the last of many disciplinary scoldings for symonds and the last straw for him..

Brad hodge never got a chance to play in the test squad despite excellent form - due to personality clashes

Hussey apparently had enough of the dressing room politics, and although he also had family reasons, was part of the reason he suddenly quit.

Twatson almost quit - and his relationship with Clarke was brought into it..... Not that a watson that does not bowl would be a great loss to the test side.

There are more players that have left, been kicked out, or never made the team due to personal issues with Clarke , and although I like his aggressive captaincy, he is obviously a first class cvnt.

Interestingly , on the final test in India , when twatto was captaining, the Australians were actually playing as a team for the first time in the series - watsons captaincy was a little odd at times though .... I liked his field placings, but promoting maxwell to open the batting instead of Cowan , and having the spinners open the bowling in the second innings were questionable moves methinks.

Problem is , besides Clarke , there are no other players who are guaranteed a place in the side, barring pattinson and siddle perhaps. Pattinson still needs a lot more experience, and siddle, although good, will never be a great - and he is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed ......

Yep. No question. Australian cricket is in dissaray .
