Australia’s coach dismisses reports of fighting within the team
Australia’s coach Tim Nielson has dismissed reports of fighting within the team. In recent times it has been quite tough for the Australian side as not only they have lost important matches but they have been criticized from almost every corner.
Media reports recently suggested that there have been reports of disturbance within Australia’s team and there is a division in Australian players over Michael Clarke being the next captain of Australian side after Ricky Ponting.
Australian coach, Tim Nielson has said that there has been no panic or infighting in the Australian side. As criticism is looming from all the media circles, Aussie players are quick in refuting any stories of such instances.
They realize that they cannot afford giving any aspect and point to the opposition that can be exploited as weakness, and are refuting any stories of disturbance within the team.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746’s coach said that as soon as they lose a couple of games there are all sorts of news of disharmony and infighting within the team. This has been noted with almost every team that as soon as they start losing matches criticism arises that all is
not well among the players and there are certain rifts within the team.
Nielson said that these speculations are far from the truth and these are generally made by those people, who want to know why Australia is losing. He further said that they lost because they did not bat, bowl and field well.
Tim Nielson comments highlight that it is not necessary that if a side is losing consistently it means players are not getting along with each other and there are rifts and disturbance among the players. Teams lose matches when their players are not performing
well in their respected departments.
Tim Nielson further said that it had been tough for the side but the leadership within the team shown by Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke has been calm and measured and at no stage there was any panic.
Recently, media reports of division among the players about Michael Clarke being the Captain after Ponting, were dismissed by Ponting and he said that these suggestions are wrong. He said that he read one of the articles and found some of the issues written
there completely made up.
He also said that him being captain of the side it is his responsibility to get on top of these issues and make sure that these little things are handled in the right way. There were also reports of fighting between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 and Hussey, which Hussey dismissed
and said that they are both good friends and backed Clarke as the next Captain of the side.
Tim Nielson also said that that the whole team talked about how they can improve in the future and the team is tough enough to not allow these uneducated opinions upset them. He assured that every time they play for Australia, the team wants to win and win
well.
