Seems as though the mob mentality is alive and working.

Methinks he was a great batsman as was Goodes a good footballer BUT both not liked as a person.

Fair analogy LS. For people like me, I don't know him personally, so it's how he comes across in the media and on field. Once he got rid of Lara, I think he developed very well.

Now he's come out and had a crack at his former coach Buchanon, sounds like those two other self absorbed blokes Warne and McGill who did so as well and we all know that Clarke is best mates with Warney.
Bit rich for Symonds to come out and criticize him, but those other guys Ponting ,Hayden, Hussey, and Gilchrist who have said something are respected enough as they were there in the dressing room to be able to have their say.
No doubt he was a good batsmen doesn't mean he was a good bloke and he was obviously unsettling in the dressing room and rubbed Lehman up the wrong way.

Can I guess then Peter, that you didn't hear the Gilchrist interview about the issue on Saturday?

What did Gilchrist have to say or if you can is there a link available to an article or audio of the interview?

I think the interview was on PR Saturday morning. (I surf through stations a fair bit). Gilly spoke very well of Clark while not ignoring his "other side". Wouldn't mind hearing it again.
