      I'm glad they brought back all the top players..... This is what happens when you stuff around with teams. Totally disruptive.

        Doherty for 100.

        Starc for 150.

        My prediction.

        They almost just got out. Mini heart ache.

                    No I believe the press statement was he is retiring from all forms off the game.

                      Ok guys I just got this sent to me and is doing the rounds in some media circles:

                      pretty interesting info sorry about the formatting:




                      ok, there has been alot of talk around the attitude of michael clarke

                      for years, he is a selfish wnker.

                      Mike apparantly was promised at a minimum two one dayers in the ODI

                      series, in Perth, he was promised this on the back of "best available"

                      talk. It is probably worth mentioning that alot of the players are a

                      bit scared of clarke in terms of the fact that he is a selector now,

                      so they avoid trying to pss him off. Anyways at some point clarke

                      called mike over (after the end of play) and asked if he could have a

                      word. In this discussion he told mike that he wouldnt be playing

                      because they were "looking to the future" mike asked about best

                      available side and all that sht and clarke said "you can have a lap

                      of honor before we play the ODI in Perth" to whihc mike told him to

                      shove his lap up his

                      as. Cricket Australia didnt want to announce the

                      axing but certain members of the hussey camp "accidentally" dropped

                      the hint to journos around the country

                      clarkey wasnt happy about this and i guess it set the tone for the

                      following couple of days (this was after play day 3 from memory).

                      So then the day before the game finished mike was asked by clarke what

                      he wanted to do for his last game, and he said that he wanted to just

                      sit in the changerooms and get pssed with the team and the entire

                      support staff. Michael Clarke then proceeded the following day to

                      organise to go on James Packers massive boat (which they could do any

                      time for the next 3 days) but he wanted to go that evening the test

                      ended.

                      as a side note they all get pretty expensive retirement gifts from the

                      team, and mike (being in charge of the song) will change the ipod to

                      John Williamsons "true blue" this is when the team knows to get in a

                      huddle to sing the team song. anyways someone turns the music off, and

                      mike started complaining that someone had fcked the ipod up... nek

                      minut John Williamson walks in singing "true blue"... thought that was

                      pretty cool.

                      So anyways, clarke tried to turn it and say "I did this for you mike"

                      (the boat) when he already knew what mike wanted to do, didnt want to

                      go to the boat he wanted to get pssed int he changerooms. So at the

                      end of the day everyone is in the changeroom drinking, clarke had left

                      early because he wanted to go on the boat, some players (including

                      warner) left as well. When it was time to leave for the boat a couple

                      of players asked mike if he was coming, and mike was like "nah go have

                      fun, i will stay and celebrate with my family and the support staff".

                      Nathon Lyon (Mikes best friend in the team) said "fck that if huss

                      isnt going im not going" then watto said the same. As Vice captain

                      that meant that alot because the players came back to the room and

                      were gonna bail on the boat, because they weren't worried as much

                      about clarke losing it.

                      So the next minute they get word that Clarke has made the boat an

                      "official Cricket Australia function" which means the players get in

                      trouble for not attending. This forced alot of the players to leave,

                      Siddle and Lyon and the support staff were the only ones left from

                      what I understand, absolutely petty and sht form from clarke

                      considering that they could have gone on the boat the following night.

                      So in the end Mike, his family and the support staff stayed in the

                      rooms.

                      Mike then woke up with a voicemail from clarke which abused the sht

                      out of him for leaking to the media and about how he didnt go on the

                      boat with the players. Then clarke put david warner on the phone, who

                      abused the sht out of him as well. Mike just took it in his stride

                      and didnt respond, and the next morning in the lobby of the hotel

                      clarke wouldnt even look at him. Mike apparantly said "hey clarkey,

                      one day you'll know" and that was the last words they had exchanged.

                      Mike was refferring to the fact that clarke is a selfish ct, and

                      cant understand why mike is retiring (young family etc).

                          Yes a massive shame that players such as Symonds have also been dumped when what they really needed was support from the team. And the last couple of matches have just shown how disfunctional the team is. Certainly not all on the same page working together for the greater good. Far from it.

                            There are far from the magically one day side they had when they won the World Cup without losing a game.

                              I'm guessing "Mr Cricket" is happy to be out of it - well all the bs that happens behind the scenes at least anyway.
