Warne on Steve Waugh

[PassIt2Carrots]

This is why I always laugh a bit when people say, "The coach has lost the players".  Sometimes, the term "the playing group" is substituted to emphasise the solidarity of the players players - instead of individuals, it is a monolith. 

In reality, those who are both "inside the bubble" and sensitive to the undercurrents know just how factional teams can be, much like a microcosm of ALP factional politics.  In any team, there are the haves and the have-nots.

It seems that hardly anyone in one of Australia's best cricket teams got on.  Warnie loathed Steve Waugh, Buchanan, and Gilchrist but liked Pup.  A lot of players, including Katich, hated Pup.  Symons seemed to hate a few.  Well-credentialed batsmen like Siddons and Hodge didn't seem to have any support.  I wonder if any of them are still mates?

I don't think the spoilt brats of the Aus Cricket Team are a great example TBH Mav.
