Homeworkgate

In a surprise and unprecedented decision, Australia axed four players from a Test during the 2012-13 tour of India for 'breach of protocol'. The players - who included vice-captain Shane Watson - had failed to hand in a mid-tour assessment exercise sought by the team management. The decision met with mixed responses but near-universal shock - not least because Australia were 2-0 down with two Tests to go.
