Famous or infamous rifts between cricketers

[trundler]

A rift is distinct from a feud. Surely a rift can only occur when both players are on the same team. Imran-Miandad, Hadlee-Coney and Hughes vs the senior players are the only good shouts in this thread.

None of Bradman’s ones?

Danny Morrison vs Stephen Fleming, Matthew Hart and Dion Nash...

KP and Strauss

A detailed account of KP's falling outs could fill a thread on their own. 'It's not easy being me ...' and all that. Within the England set up, you can probably add Swann, Anderson and Broad. or whoever else was supposed to have been behind the spoof 'KP Genius' account. Things got pretty ugly at Notts iirc - maybe with Mike Newell to the fore?

Boycott -botham

I know Botham famously ran Boycott out (in only his fourth test ffs!) so the side could set a target and actually try to win the game, but I don't know that he was top of Geoffrey's hate list. Boycott really couldn't stand Brearley. If you want to read pages of embiterted bile about a team mate, you'll have to go a long way to find anything worse that Boycott's book about the 1979-80 series in Australia.

And that's before you start on all the players at Yorkshire that he fell out with.

Which woo really helped them out. The extra 29 runs after Boycs was out really turned that game around.

Jason Gallian and KP had a big falling out while he was at Notts. Gallian was captain at the time and infamously threw all of KP's stuff off the balcony after a spat Pietersen absolutely despised him.

He also more or less got Moores fired and tried to do the same with Flower. Great cricketer, terrible teammate.

Warne and Steve Waugh. Tho not clear Waugh hated Warne as much.

Ganguly and Steve Waugh was a fun one.
