Get Ready For A ****ing Sacking - The Michael Clarke Story?

We've once again hit that point in the cycle where Michael Clarke is being piled on by media, high ranking CA sources, teammates etc. Essentially, Michael Clarke and CA management (Rod Marsh?) have apparently fallen out and in tandem with TPC kicking butt, they are people questioning his captaincy future, which seems absolutely insane, but hey. The other aspect to this is that Clarkeh believes he's being set up to fail in regards to being fit for the WC, he believes they agreed he had an extra two or so weeks to be fit, but they changed the deadline on him. Oh and the dressing room hates him or something but who cares about that, they wanted Marcus North made captain. And Rod Marsh sent Ryan Harris packing to Queensland or something so **** him too.

i think the wc deadline was insane btw but maybe im just bitter over the Hussey/2011 WC fiasco. Obviously Huss was more important though

I love that Clarke's gone for like a month and they're ready to move on or some ****. Are they a bunch of cats or something

I find the claims about the dressing room unbelievable when you look at how Clarke carried himself throughout the immediate aftermath of Phil Hughes' death.

What the **** is this about? Doesn't make any sense. Did he do something to piss people off?

International Coach
One doesn't simply take workplace behaviour lessons from Shane Warne without being as talented and indispensible as he was.

At least that's the gist of the gossip columns.

I love how they again tie all the dressing-room ruckus back to Shane 'The Godfather' Warne.

So Mitchell Marsh/Joe Burns in tests and George Bailey in ODIs are preferred over Michael Clarke now? :blink:
