why?wasnt he one who started all this homework thing?If you treat players as school kids,expect nothing better.I dont think results were the only reason for his sacking Clarke should hv gone too yes agree
No, it was Arthur + Clarke. Also to note, Clarke is an obnoxious slime ball. That guy has the guts to leave a young team (when he's injured) on personal time and then come back to give moral lectures on how Warner should've behaved. Clark's many times more autocratic than Arthur. Mickey is never a whip cracking kind of person; never was and never will be.

Just in case, I hope people didn't miss this part of the news as well.

It has also been reported that the captain Michael Clarke will relinquish his role as a selector as part of the change in structure that will be announced by Sutherland and Howard. Whether Lehmann would remain a selector is unclear.

Arthur for me was never the problem in that set up. It was Clarke all the way from the start. All seniors had a problem with him and his attitude. Arthur was just made a scapegoat because they couldn't scrap the best batsman in their team.

I feel sorry for Arthur because he has been made a scape goat of an incident where the team manager and team captain were involved too. In that aspect, I am sorry for him.

Adam Mountford ‏@tmsproducer From purely personal perspective Mickey Arthur is one of the most decent blokes you meet on the circuit. Really impressive to front up today

same could be said about Duncan Fletcher. In the aftermath of 4-0 by Aus and 2-1 at home to England i am sure he would have been axed by most major test playing nations.
He could and should have been but Fletcher didn't add to the mess with homework-gate or the way Hesson botched the Taylor captaincy issue.
