There's 13 in the squad, so I feel sorry for whoever isn't named 12th man.
Also, now that he's given up bowling, wtf was Watson supposed to write?

Maybe CA could have fined them if they wanted to send a message. Dropping your best fast bowler for a trivial issue makes absolutely no sense at all

Well Pattinson would have been rested anyway, but it makes plenty of sense. you've got a team order. Follow it, or else. It's that simple.

Of all of them, Pattinson is the one with the worst case for staying in the team. If you're trying to build a team culture you can't let people off just because they're your best player.

maybe it shouldnt take them 6 days to ask the players what they reckoned they were there for
maybe the team management need some instruction on how to deal with people
this statement from arthurs has me confused/worried:
it's bizzare that he then goes on to say watson always prepares 100% but usman has no hustle. so it's not the same people cutting corners, submitting the essay or playing in the team. did arthurs write an essay? is essay writing going to make them better players - people often learn in different ways.
Or maybe they thought that it was a heap of **** and they werent going to waste their time on it

Dominic Cork has been surprisingly trenchant on Hughes's balls, or lack thereof.
During our Sky's coverage of the second test he, in more or less so many words, called him a panty waister.
Said something like,
"Having played with him at Hants, I'd question whether he's the kind of guy you'd want in the trenches beside you."
Re homeworkgate: I must admit, as a serial non hander in, I have the utmost sympathy for for the four recalcitrant players.
Whichever way you cut it, it's a bull**** activity. If Arthur wants to indulge in some face-spiting nose severing, then he's a larger twatt than he comes across as.

they shouldve done it really especially considering how small it was and how long they had to do it but standing them down is to far imo shouldve said look ****s do it by tomorrow or ill be pissed and then be done with it. but really it was a **** idea in the first place
