"Well Pup, I'm out of ideas, should we ask the boys what they think we can do to turn it around?"

[The Sleeping Giant]

So really not only Haddin should be on a plane but he should be bringing a few mates with him as well!

Still here is the based on what we have left:
Warner
Cowan
Hughes
Clarke
Haddin
Smith / Maxwell
Henriques
Starc
Siddle
Doherty
Lyon

I really think Lyon should play with Doherty. And well we need or have to now play Smith or Maxwell.

No choice now.

I would say that is correct.

They are a highly paid professional team that is playing sh1te, the coach decided to get his players to think about how they are playing and think about to improve their performance.

Some players, obviously for no valid reason, decided not to do it.

Players should man up and accept the consequences and if that means getting dropped then so be it.

Good decision!!

There is no I in team and no johnson, khawaja, pattinson & watto either

hear ******* hear, some common sense at last!

Thank god, I thought I was the only one in Australia that thought this was a warranted move. Harsh but culture is one of the hardest things to build in a team sport and if you are not on board then face the consequences.

[CoverKing]

watto, vice captain has just displayed extremely poor leadership by

a) not completing the coaches task and
b) spitting the dummy and coming home to stay

should never represent australia again

Bit of an overreaction dont you think?

Was always coming home after the 3rd test for the birth of his first child.

Thats rubbish. If he was always coming home he would've left days ago, to ensure he didn't miss the birth. He is coming home now because he spat the dummy.

Hope we never see him in the whites for Australia again.

No cause he was coming home after the third test not the second. That's why he didnt leave days ago

I'm with you boys, I bet Hughes had his in as early as he could considering the pressure he is under for his spot. The arrogance to think your above the Australian cricket team and the things expected of you.

Good bye...

How about the selectors let the "team" build the culture, and by saying that, stop flipping the playing 11 around at every opprotunity and let a settled 11/12 players build an environment the players on the fringe want to be a part of and in turn earn the right to?

With every muppet ( read Maxwell / Doherty ) getting gifted a baggy green, how can you possibly say its the selectors trying to build a culture when the players dont know if they are in* or out at any given point.

Obviously there was nothing wrong with the culture of the team until a couple of years ago.

Great move - can't wait to Steve Smith get another chance... can't do any worse then Watto... Think this might be the making of him! C'mon SS

I have followed Cricket for nearly forty years and this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Since when did Coaches need feedback from players to do their job? Since when does filling out a feedback form become more important than the ability to make runs or score wickets?

We all know the answer. MICKY MUST GO.

Welcome to the 21st century REB...

[Rik E Boy]

Its a job, requirement of the job was to complete a questionnaire and apparently the four players haven't completed the questionnaire as required. Some sort of message needs to be sent because obviously the players aren't figuring it out themselves. its a long fall from the top of the pile and australia is quickly reaching the bottom.

And whose job is it to determine strategy and areas of improvement? They've been sacked for failing to do someone else's job.

[rant]So you are in favour of this horseshit geniearse? Typical.[/rant]

Apologies scoob but what's happened over there made me mad.

Good to see Haddin finally over there, even if Wade is OK to play Haddin must play as a batter, experienced and plays spin well.
