What Hughes said will be mild compared to what international teams will have waiting for him.

The Aussies who invented vile sledging and 'mental disintegration' are quickly turning into easily-offended shrinking violets. What is worse: "what does Brian Lara's **** taste like?" or "you shouldn't even be playing cricket".

The (new) 'Crying Captain' exposed his fragility & will be target as well. We all remember Borders refusal to let an English batsman have a drink of water so it's going to be hard to stomach watching Smith and Warner pleading for a 'time-out' anytime someone says something that has them on the verge of tears and reaching for the hanky.

Looks like Australian cricket is set to enter a very soft era where the very mention of SBW will trigger a nervous breakdown, or a word like 'sandpaper' will send some crying for mummy. Opposition teams may be given a list of topics that will be off-limits to sledge about due to the severe mental health crisis in the Aussie camp.

Pretty soon people will dissolve into helpless laughter at the mention of the Aussie's still playing 'hard cricket' while attempting to gag the opposition. Expect the Aussie position on sledging to do a self-serving 180 degree about face very soon.

He isn't mentally fit enough to play for Australia again, and quite frankly, I don't want him to play again
