"Got some homework for you Arthur; kill yourself. You whiny saffy bitch."
Tarzan really does = Jane - No loss
Other two weren't even playing anyway.
The issue is ?
It's safe to say they probably thought they had no valuable insights to add.
Arthurs says there have been a few other misdemeanours - most likely not be these 4 guys, yet these are taking the fall for indescretions by others.
Khawaja wasn't even playing so how can he comment?
They weren't told their would be severe repurcussions for a failure to do "their homework", which are clearly out of whack with the "crime". A more appropriate penalty would be an extra training session.
This clearly shows the wrong people/positions are empowered atm.
Arthurs record is deteriorating by the match and Pups track record wrt people skills is poor to say the least.
Katick/Clarke blow-up; Simmonds/Clarke blow-up; Hussey/Clarke blow-out - what's the common denominator.
Take the captaincy off him and give Steven O'Keefe or Haddin a go.
Arthurs should be sacked or at least all other powers removed from the coaches position. Clearly both fail to look at the bigger picture and should consider themselves lucky they didn't get their heads punched in or be faced with a player revolt - although their probably is one going on behind the scenes. The last skeric of team unity has just disappeared...
Nuff said
size of contract /less homework= im earning a shit load doing what i love(do the 5minute HW)
Saw an interview on ABC..apparently they do homework at state level as well??
Never been a Clark fan..just have a dislike for him and cant put my finger on exactly why....but you cant deny his talent.....and for Mickey...GO THE SAF.
Has anyone on here ever had a worker who wont tow a simple line? and if so what do you do?

Regardless of whether it's his job to analyse the team or not, the players were set a task (for which they're well remunerated) and they refused to do it.
However.....................there is a common theme building here, and they're all building around one person - Clarke !
Clarke v Katich
Clarke v Punter
Clarke v Hussey
It goes on.............................

There is only 1 leader, everybody else has to follow but when that leader is a c... you are disarray when thinks are not well,
Try again in 4 years - maybe Clarke will have retired by then

The sad thing is, after listening to a couple of his interviews, I think it sums Warner's capabilities up to a tee.

The umpires would know this - as the square leg would indicate to the other ump that he is batting out of his crease.
A 4th grade umpire wouldn't even give that out.

Cowan, Warner, Watson, Khawaja, Haddin, Smith, Maxwell, Henriques, Starc, Johnson, Pattinson
No doubt track will be a turner, but no point playing spinners that can't take wickets.
Resting Sids and Clarke and giving a few an opportunity to cement a spot. Hughes was dropped before Homeworkgate, i can't see any reason to give him a repreive, Smith goes in front of him. It's either Hughes or Warner to go out, Khawaja HAS TO PLAY.
Laugh at those suggesting Cowan should have been dropped for Jane to open
Why can't we just pick our best 6 batsman, best 4 bowlers and our best keeper/batsman, we werenumber 1 team in the world for near on a decade doing that. If you have a Flintoff or Kallis then great but playing 3 average all rounders in one team is never going to work.
Cummins will be a chance by then too, and Patto and Starc, and I reckon we're alright for Ashes (plus Siddle et al)
Bats.....................well, I'll leave that one to someone else (ie I give up)

They should throw Watson to the wolves tell him to open and he HAS to bowl will be very handy in UK who he opens with probably Cowan with Warner or Marsh at 3 then Clarkey, Khawaja and raffle no 6 no idea.
But Haddin must stay for next 11 tests is one bloke who I guess could get Clarke to pull his head in regularly and provides real spirit they are not far off the poms.

Cowan, Watson, Khawaja, Clarke, Doolan, Ponting, Haddin, Agarth, Cummins, Pattinson, Siddle, 12th Henriques.
Starc has now broken down again. Johnson, Hilfy, Harris & Bird all behind the blokes listed. Raffle the touring spots.
The current spinners aren't up to it so may as well give Agarth a go - a decent go.
Bring back Punter - he's found his touch again in Shield and has dominated unlike any other batsman.
Chris Rogers should be the other opener that tours, Wade reserve keeper and i'd find a spot for Mitch Marsh in the squad.
Doolan went ok, 4th most runs 683 @ 45. Technically he looks good and he did score that big 100 for Aust A against a full strength Sth African attack early in the summer.
I think it's pretty obvious the bats we have in there atm aren't up to it - consistently. Warner is too hit or miss for mine.
The poms would love Hughes to tour. Their attack would be lining up to bowl to him.
Like Goose mentioned Watto needs to find his spot..... or Henriques takes it. Whether that's opening, 3 or 5 or 6 i'm not sure. Clarke has to bat 4. I'd still play 4 other bowlers though and only use him for 2-3 five over spells an innings
