Dear old Simon Katich and Pup Clarke were on the outers, weren't they?

Culminated in the former grabbing the latter by the throat over the timing of singing the team song.

Harbhajan once slapped Sreesanth during an IPL game, didn't he? On different sides on that day, but played in the same India XI more than once.

Harby always came across as a wee bit of an arsehole generally to my way of thinking though.

State Captain
Coney (captain) - Hadlee

quote from link below: John Wright ... In his memorable autobiography Christmas in Rarotonga he writes: “I had to be a sort of go-between because they weren’t speaking to each other. I’d be asking Richard if he wanted to bowl another over and telling Coney that Richard wanted another gully – I felt like Henry Kissinger. It was absurd.”

 

Chubb

International Regular
Peter Roebuck vs Botham, really Peter Roebuck vs all English players

Obscure county player turned umpire Russell Warren kicked off a massive feud within the Northants dressing room after he slept with a teammate's fiancee.

Bradman-Fingleton
Bradman-O’Reilly
Bradman-Grimmett

Bradman-Richardson
Bradman-Hammond
Bradman-Meckiff
Bradman-Chappell
Bradman-India

Not including stuff like Mailey ofc.
Was there any actual rift or ill feelings from the Don's end? If I remember correctly, Bradman came to Hammond's defense when he was questioned in the 1946-47 Ashes.

Yeah that was more of a one sides one but eh. I wouldn’t have put it there if not for the 46/47 Ashes

International Coach
Len Hutton–Fred Trueman is a big one.

Len scolded Trueman so much on the 1954 West Indies tour that Trueman requested to go back home mid-way through the series, Trueman felt like Hutton didn't back him at all when people attacked him on that tour and Trueman felt Hutton was the reason his pay was reduced. Hutton eventually backed Trueman for the 1954-55 Ashes but the MCC didn't, Trueman blamed Hutton for derailing a lot of his career.
