Moises has got his fingers crossed? Can't imagine that's helping the situation...

Mike Hussey is at the centre of a rumour doing the rounds by email, and published in of all places a financial gossip column on Thursday, that he and Michael Clarke had a spectacular falling out after his farewell Test at the SCG. According to the scuttlebutt, Hussey and Clarke had been split over where post-match celebrations should be held - Mr Cricket wanted them in the dressing room and then the hotel, but the captain preferred a planned evening on James Packer's super yacht Seahorse. Hussey, it was claimed, boycotted the boat ride in protest, having also just been surprisingly left out of the one-day squad. He was joined by two other players, the email said. The Tonk was made aware of the alleged dispute on Wednesday morning and quickly had it shot down vehemently by Hussey's management and Cricket Australia. There is at least one element of truth to the email, though - Hussey did not join teammates on Packer's vessel. But the way it was told to this column is that was because the team had already celebrated in their SCG dressing room and then their hotel until about 10pm and he wanted to rejoin his family, who were staying with him in a suite at the team's Sydney base. The Tonk was told the others who stayed in the hotel at The Rocks instead of boarding the boat were Shane Watson, who missed the Test because of injury but wanted to be part of Hussey's farewell, and Peter Siddle. Support staff with families present, including Steve Rixon and Dene Hills, also stayed with Hussey in the hotel rather than hitting Sydney Harbour.

Explains why Siddle stayed back, good man.

I think the spectacular falling out is a load of rubbish.

i'm glad Cutting doesn't have red hair or something, a headline like "Moises parts for the red C" would make me quit the world

[Spikey]

[Daemon]

Moises (Moses) parts for the red (headed) C (cutting/sea)

[Prince EWS]

I thought it was quality. You blokes suck.

[Jono]

Agree with PEWS

[uvelocity]

mine was a pun though

[NUFAN]

Too many if and buts to make that joke funny.

If Cutting's nickname was C or he did have red hair, it might me mildly funny.

[ajdude]

tbf it wouldn't be funny anyway, hence why I said I'd quit the world

[morgieb]

Went over my head.
