Sidhoni Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Watson, pattinson, Khawaja and Johnson axed from the Aussie team Peter Lalor @plalor Watson, Pattinson, Khawaja and Johnson dumped from third test for discipline reasons
GoldenSun Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 WTF is going on with Australia? and I thought India was a team in crisis. Was not Khawaja the hot name to play in the 3rd test? Why is he punished? I can't wait to see this story unfold.
Lord Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 lolz,serious this guy also said Wade wasnt gonna play 2nd Test,but he did
NareshK Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 Apparently it has to do with poor discipline. Someone made a thread here a few days ago why India cant be professional like Aussies. :hehe:
Needforspeed Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 More details http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/australia-stand-down-four-players-for-breach-of-discipline-20130311-2fw9i.html Australian vice captain Shane Watson and fast bowler James Pattinson are among four players sensationally dumped from calculations for Thursday's third Test against India for a breach of team discipline. Coach Mickey Arthur and team manager Gavin Dovey made the stunning announcement on Monday afternoon as Australia continued preparations for the third leg of the series, which they trail 2-0. Arthur said Watson and Pattinson, as well as Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Johnson, had failed to deliver a presentation which management asked all players to complete following the embarrassing innings defeat in Hyderabad last week. Players were asked to outline three points on what they bring to the team by email or in person, and given five days to complete the task. The four players did not complete the assignment by the given deadline. Advertisement Arthur said the shock axings were a move to maintain standards in team culture. "This is a line in the sand," he said. Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/australia-stand-down-four-players-for-breach-of-discipline-20130311-2fw9i.html#ixzz2NDQW7epG

G_B_ Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 oops already posted mods please merge with other threads.
saneindian Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 ROFL..this is taking professionalism to a different level!
Raghav_12 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 wouldn't have happened if they had gone through rigourous indian schooling system ..:hysterical:
G_B_ Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 you have got to hand it to the aussies. They stick by their standards come what may Pattinson is their best bowler on tour and he is being axed without reservation.
IKnowU Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 :isalute: Takes balls and professionalism to do this. The 4 players didn't fill out a questionnaire (review on the 2nd Test) in the 5 days Arthur gave them to do it.
