Watson has come out in support of Buchanan today. Seems like the the qlders loved him following on from him coaching the shield side. Not sure it was a shared view & there seems to have been somewhat an us & them between the qlders & the rest

Watson's never been Clarke's biggest fan.

what is it with the Australian cricket team bitching and carrying on like the Kardashians? FFS, just get on with playing the game and stop the bullsh1t, please!

Quite fascinating hearing these stories.... And the more that I hear the less impressed I am of Clarke

Buchanan's reply, nice little bit of burn.

"Being a captain, coach, corporate leader is not easy. Each is driven by a relentless passion to inspire others to succeed. The leadership skills that accompany these roles are demanding and complex," Buchanan wrote.
"The opportunity to continue to learn these skills is always available, and hopefully Michael will continue to take these opportunities as they will be presented in his future life and careers."

So, basically, Buchanan's a prick...

Fair assumption, as I've made with Clarke being a petulant, immature man child.

The more they criticise Buchanan the more it makes me think he pushed and challenged them. Warnie especially would have only liked a coach who left him alone.

I agree. It makes it sound like "I'm Shane Warne/Andrew Symonds/Matt Hayden/Michael Clarke, who are you to tell me what to do?"
