The Ashes

[Josh1873]

I don't think it'd be as petty as 'you didn't play golf with us on the weekend so now you're out of the team' - that seems unlikely. 

However, I could easily envisage a scenario where players don't get selected as they don't fit in with the clique, generally, and don't have the perceived correct attitude of arrogance and a laissez-faire approach to cricket.

I.e 'I don't think I'm gonna go on the piss today, lads, I'm gonna go and work on my batting and iron out my technical flaws'.

Whatever the truth, the set up and atmosphere created by McCullum stinks, and he needs removing from his post. As does Rob Key.
