"Australian vice captain Shane Watson and fast bowler James Pattinson are among four players sensationally dumped from calculations for Thursday's third Test against India for a breach of team discipline"

"Players were asked to outline three points on what they bring to the team by email or in person, and given five days to complete the task. The four players did not complete the assignment by the given deadline."

This is what is wrong with australian cricket. It isnt about the game of cricket any more. It is about the process and management.

I wonder what Doug Walters would have said if they asked him to do this.

Another sad day for aussie cricket.
