Kim Hughes, the former Australia captain, believes Shane Warne is “living in a fool’s world” if he thinks he should have led his country. Hughes also attacks Warne for his barbs at the coach John Buchanan.
"I think he's shown a complete disregard for the position that Buchanan has held and his attitude to the camp was very poor for a senior player," Hughes told Britain's Daily Mail ... "He would have been an embarrassment if he had captained our country."
Reuters reports Mike Gatting saying Australia’s infighting is a good thing for England.
"That doesn't often happen over there. They are normally a pretty tight unit," Gatting said. "It is usually the Aussies having a go at us for things we've done badly. But I think we've done things well, we're a good unit and the guys have now got to go over there and show that."
