In his book ‘Ashes Dairy 2015’ he wrote that , Symonds went on TV to criticise my leadership.” I am sorry but he is not a person to judge anyone on leadership”.
Clarke also wrote, Andrew Symonds is a guy who turned up drunk to play for his country. Its pretty rich for him to be throwing rocks
Michael Clarke also hit back at Hayden’s assertion he refused to field at bat-pad early in his career.
However, Clarke says his record speaks for itself. “I this I’ve shown over the past 12 years how I’ve valued representing my country and how much my 389 baggy green means to me. ” Clarke wrote.
