Personal reasons. CA have asked that his privacy be respected. Perhaps they should mention that to his fiance :roll:

Maybe the missus has lost the Aston Martin again?
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

FFS! :evil: Pup comes home because Lara has an opportunistic new manager.

Anyone remember poor old Voges being questioned when he skipped a tour for his own wedding?

I thought I heard that his Dad has become sick?

If true then it's a totally reasonable,

not that Fox Sports News are the authority on anything but they didn't mention his father, just said he was returning home for personal issues then went onto say how Lara Bingle is suing Fevola.

Come on mate, no matter what profile a person has in the community, at the end of the day, he's a human being with feelings and emotions.
The whole Lara thing does seem a little odd, it's not that hard to google a picture of here baps, the only difference is a some make-up and air-brushing. On the same token, it was pretty stupid and inconsiderate for Fev to make them available to the public.

Yeah, lets judge a bloke without all the facts. :roll: Even if it is just to support Lara, who are we to judge?

With the amount of cricket these blokes have and will be playing in the last / next year or so I dont blame them for wanting to come home for a while.Loving the game like they do would still be tested by the ridiculous amount of games currently being programmed.

I'm not having a go at Clake at all. If he needs to come home for personal reasons so be it. What i find ridiculous is CA asking everyone to respect his privacy when his fiance is selling her story to whichever media outlet will listen. If he wants to be left alone then he should talk to his bimbo fiance and get her to stop so desperately chasing public attention.

How can CA have anything to say on what his fiance does? As far as his "bimbo" chasing public attention goes, sure, get her to stop sending that picture of herself around...

CA can't have a say on what the dumb bimbo does but Clarke can. The privacy that he seeks is being made quite difficult by the nature of what his fiance does and that is to try and make a career by being in the public eye all the time. This latest "scandal" is great publicity for her and she will milk it for everything it's worth. If Clarke wishes to be with a person who is famous for being famous and nothing else he should get used to the attention that comes with it. It's not like her "career" can afford her not to be in the spotlight for too long.

Regardless of what we think of Clarke, Bingle and the recent goings on in their private lives, I don't see an issue with a bloke choosing to support his wife instead of being on an overseas work trip. I'd do the same, I'm sure so would most of the married blokes on this site. I hope they sort out whatever the problem is and he gets back to work soon.

But Clarke is more whipped than Makaybe Diva. He's not going to tell her to do anything.
