"It's just not cricket."

How can we improve suggestions from the past....

Dougie Walters - More beer more often.
David Boon - More beer longer flights.
Shane Warne - More slimming tablets.
Mark Waugh - Look for better odds.
David Hookes - Work on our defensive game.
Ricky Ponting - More transvestites.
Greg Ritchie - More Food
England - More Saffas !

Hookes was a very attacking player, just think if he'd learnt to duck a bouncer instead of trying to hook all of them.

the could have also suggested more pakistani and portuguese players.

As for Hussey, his retirement was very sudden. He had a lot left in him so I think there is more to his retirement.
It makes you think that could have been the case.
It came out of the blue.
Then you have Lyon being given song master duties by Huss and now he gets dropped!

Why did Kwaja get any homework. He wasnt involved with any of those debacle losses was he?
I may not be perfect but I'm still the closest I have ever come across

I guess your getting good coin to tour, and the professional thing to do is to do as asked.
Its now known that there were other examples of lack of professionalism. But if players A,B,C, and D transgressed earlier on, but now did their homework, whilst Watson etc 's only crime was to not hand in the homework, then it does seem really harsh on them.
I suppose if you're going to do the wrong thing, do it first rather than last.
