If he's gone back to Oz to split up with Lara in person, that has shown great character IMO. I still think he should have stayed in Kiwiland, he might have lost some respect from his team mates which is not the way forward for a potential Aussie skipper.

For those about to jump in, take note of the words 'if' and 'might'.

He could've broken it off via text or facebook ;)

Great stuff by Clarkey if he has gone home to break it off with her, shows more character than i thought he had.

Can he get back to PLAYING CRICKET now?

What a ridiculous circus this is. He's a cricketer. End of.

I think breaking it off with Bingle will be in his best interests personally. I think his cricket will prosper. Look for him to have a good 'off' season.

After all, she is a slapper of the highest order. Confirmed for me by the one finger salute to the media earlier this week.

100% agree with every single word of that.

He's a cricketer for around 100 days a year, he's a human being 365 days a year.

Yep and what he does for the other 265 shouldn't affect his cricket like it has this week.

Perhaps his cricket should not impact on his personal life to the point where it is the number one priority - it's just his job and quite possibly more important to us that he focus on it first than it is to him. I know my work takes second place to my family life.

Unequivocally the most important thing to eventuate from the Lara bUngle saga
That George Bailey was the next in mind by the Australian selectors

Hopefully it's a bitter split and we start seeing some of Clarkey's stash of MMS's.
