We rarely had the opportunity in Clarke's tenure tbh.

Or as I called it in the match thread a Cronjesque declaration, one made solely to prevent a draw as an outcome.

I feel like the lawmakers could move to ban sweep shots before any rash moves to prevent draws
Anyone hear Katich on ABC elaborate on the dressing room scuffle today?

Nothing that he hasn't said before. Just that there was disagreement over when the song should be sung. He got upset because he believed it was the absolute prerogative of the 'Custodian of the Song' to decide when that was, and Hussey hadn't given the okay. Came across as about as lame an excuse as it sounds.
Said he was sure it contributed to him getting dropped when Clarke became captain, which is probably stating the obvious but voicing it made him sound pretty bitter. He probably would have been better off keeping his mouth shut - it's hard to put a positive spin on throttling a teammate.

Nope, what gives?
Sweep related?

These cricketers are like a bunch of teenage girls.
never 4get that clarke wanted katich picked instead of cowan in 2011
I caught the tail end of the convo, I don't think Kat raised the subject, and it sounds like he was relatively level headed about describing what happened?

Make that most professional sports teams. They pick these guys up out of high school, transplant them into a new environment with more or less the same rules; they just don't grow up the way most people have to.
True but I swear cricketers are easily the worst for it.

He didn't, he was asked about it by Jim Maxwell. Thought the question was a bit distasteful, really.
I still reckon he should have just declined to talk about it. The whole situation is so ridiculous that he couldn't help but come off a bit like a schoolboy in the principal's office, trying to talk his way out of trouble.
Can still just decline to answer, he's already shared his views enough.

Probably all the time spent together on tour
more the intense, heavy focus everyone has for the rare conflicts. aka http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/cricket/article4230937.ece
Excellent article.

Yes, you just have to wonder how isolated incidents like the Katich/Clarke one were. Judging by that article we might be surprised

I thought the whole thing was very carefully choreographed to make it look like Maxwell was asking him questions he didn't want to answer. I had the impression by the end of it that they had discussed beforehand that the topic would be covered but Maxwell would make it look like it was all his doing and Katich was a somewhat unwilling participant. I'm not suggesting that Katich wanted to talk about it necessarily but just that he was aware it was going to come up.

Katich v Clarke keeps going:

WesternRoyBoy - he speaks about back stabbing. You have referred to this in the past. I guess he means a combination of what happened with his Australian spot and what you have told us happened with NSW.

I agree. Either come out and tell us exactly what happened and why or else move on.
