Watto storms out of India

[lockyno1]

Edit: lol@BM. Would be singing a very different tune if it was Phil Hughes and not Watson.

BM knows this is the only way HAH got another test:lol:

Seriously Micky Arthur needs to have his visa revoked, asking players how the side could be improved, that's his job to figure it out, what exactly does he do? We've got specialist coaches for batting, bowling and strength and conditioning, if clueless Micky wants to know how to improve the team it's pretty f**king obvious, stop picking dud players, prepare our batsman to play against spin.
I'm not a Watson fan but Arthur is a twat

His appointment in the first place was staggering.

This is Australian cricket. There isn't a shortage of locals who could do the job.

Understanding the culture is supremely important for a coach.

Needs a complete clean out
Sutherland :arrow:
Arthur :arrow:
Inverarity and friends :arrow:
Batting & Bowling coaches :arrow:, how the f*ck do two Tasmanian nuffy's in De Winter and Divenuto get those gigs?
And Clarke needs to be removed from selection duties, that's clearly doing nothing for team harmony, when the captain play's favorite's...[/end rant]

Does the basketball coach get to stay?

 

[Didgi]

Yes. Wade out has been the biggest positive of the last two and a bit weeks.

Too many people serving their own interests while at the same time they are practically untouchable.

It's a dangerous situation.

The smartest man in Australian cricket is MHuss. His retirement makes a lot sense considering the shamozzle that is Australian cricket right now.

 

[TheParraboy]

On Watson, there may be a bit of over reaction

He was dropped for the 3rd test, probably unlikely to play in the 4th, with a heavily pregnant missus on the other side of the world, id be looking to get out of there ASAP as well. Given that situation, why the hell would you want to hang around for????

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

:lol:

I think a few of you guys are being a bit too over dramatic.

Yes we're over reacting because playing ability officially became the last point on being selected to play test matches. It's all to do with PowerPoint presentations and how good you feltch Clarkey's ass these days.

All this is doing for me is highlighting how poor the attitude of some of the Australian cricketers are.

Representing your Country in anything is a privilege not a right.

Just on this whole boat thing between Hussey and Clarke, I worry for you guys who just believe anything they read on the internet. No wonder Brett Stewart is still treated like shit, you dense merkins read something on the net and believe it straight out.

Any truth to the mysterious email sent around which said you and Michael Clarke had a falling out during your last Test?

No. From my point of view it was really disappointing because there were no issues whatsoever ... I had a fantastic last Test and last night of that Test.

You sound quite upset about it?

It has hurt our family that these stories have been made up. I know it is disappointing from Michael Clarke and Dave Warner's point of view, having to deal with things which are completely incorrect. I have never had to deal with anything like this before.



Anyway, on this issue, the whole homework assignment is an absolute wank, but if 12 blokes found the time to do it, and these guys think they are above doing it, then f**k 'em, especially if it gets that peaheart Watson out of the side.

 

[madunit]

I support any concept, no matter how f**kheaded it is, that rids the test side of Watson & Johnson. Self obsessed wankers can get f**ked.

 

[Canard]

Classic tool of a management team that has failed at delivering its responsibilities.

Pass on the responsibilities to those lower down the food chain then you, happens at my work all the time.

How would someone like Uzi contribute to that task WITHOUT putting shit on his own team-mates and the coaching staff? (Not to mention come across like an egotiscal idiot).

Uzi's dot points:

- Pick Me
- Drop Hughes, he is shit against spin
- Sack the Coach

Obviously a bit over the top but you would think it would be a variance of the above, just phrased better.

Seriously mate, there has to be something in life that Manly fans can analyse without having to bring a Brett Stewart analogy into it. There are families who lost people to terrorism that have gotten over it quicker than Manly fans have gotten over a couple of weeks of bad press.

 

[Twizzle]

why is this all about Watson ?

it involve 4 players, Watson, Notch, Oozie and Patto who are all not available to be selected for the 3rd test for not filling in their fitness forms according to Foxsports Noos

Watson has a way of making everything all about himself

 

[Frank_Grimes]

I guess it was only a matter of time before a Manly fan turned a Cricket thread into a whinge about poor victim Brett Stewart...

Agree with all of this Matty, i said at the time they should have not made the captain the selector and neither the coach.


If you are an out of form player how can you go to your captain and coach and say you are struggling big time knowing they have the power to drop you???


And as for this homework bullshit this is International cricket not grade 9 maths FFS!! The Poms will be laughing their arses off.

 

[hineyrulz]

But if this gets rid of Twatto and Shitchell out of Australian cricket it's not all bad.

 

[Slackboy72]

So analytical writing and basketball...
that'll teach us how to play spin.
