Homeworkgate: Watson, Pattinson among four axed for third Test

Clarke is trying to be an Allan border? He used to be tough with players. But not as childish as this.

[saneindian]

Irrespective of how respectful Clarke is trying to make handling of this entire episode, as the team management on tour, he and Arthur have to take the responsibility for letting things go this far. It's their failure as a leadership group as well if the vice captain is suddenly announcing his retirement from cricket.

AB would not be wasting his time on presentations.

[Laaloo]

IPL

I think Watson will turn his back on Australia and become a full time IPL player just like what Symonds did. He will ply his trade in T20 leagues the world over from now on.

:rr:

This is a good news for Rajasthan Royals. Watson is a great T20 player.

I think this home work incident may be the tip of the iceberg. Fair enough . http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/current/story/624571.html

Bangladesh Cricket is furious and and raising doubts of a great conspiracy involving BCCI, CA and PCB (Usman Khwaja). The one day they score a 600 and whole cricket world is talking about a homework assignment.

You cant keep carrying on playing IPL many years after you've retired. Players lose touch within 2-3 years max because they don't play cricket round the year and their reflexes deteriorate with age.

I've seen people on this forum praise Australian selectors. Well let me tell you guys... they have gone completely mental in the past few months!

true retiring just for the sake of IPL will hurt you at the end of the day. Its hard to maintain your form when you are not getting exposed to top quality cricket. Your fitness wears down, the same way it happened with gilly

But Watson will play in many t20 leagues and domestic cricket throughout the year. So he will be in touch.
