Burgey

Wow. Massive development. Can't see it being a good one on the eve of the series either, unless they get someone in who's higghly regarded by everyone in the squad.

****ing hell. Whether this turns out to be a good or bad decision in the long run, this is crazy. Guy is appointed because of the Argus review, and is sacked right before the most important series for Australian cricket. Farcical.

Ahahahahaha. Ah Australian Cricket, so hopeless.

Arthur should never have been there (durr) but the timing of this decision is crazy.

I cannot see how this timing makes sense unless he's been caught fiddling boys. Honestly this is ridiculous.

expecting apologies from all those who bagged me for criticising his appointment at the time

the whole culture of the team stinks

get Boof in there - at least he would unite them and get the emphasis back on enjoying their cricket

In other news, Shane Watson has just been ruled out for the First Test. He was found sprawled on the ground outside the team hotel after having apparently pulled a hamstring doing backflips.

Well, at least now we know for sure that CA have hitched their cart to the Homework Four. Going to go ahead and back that Warner will now face-up at Nottingham with Rogers and that Cowan is garrn.

I'm no fan of Arthur but bloody hell.

It's almost like with the Australian cricket team in the past couple of years, some mastermind has actually sat down and plotted out a long term plan in which to best sabotage our chances. "Yep we'll make a debut for Xavier Doherty here, we'll keep bringing back MJ and bring in a few doomed-to-failure batsmen, we'll conduct an Argus review which gives hope to Aus cricket but ultimately results in nothing, we'll give some players a dumb homework task they won't complete and cause disharmony amongst the squad, we'll set up a fist fight with a key player and suspend him up until the eve of the first game, and then we'll sack the coach, who probably shouldn't have been there in the first place, right before the most important series". It's like the magnum opus of a serial killer.

The whole team is a mess. If this results in Boof coming in to coach then it won't all be bad though I guess. He might also be a good back up batsman!
