Australia axe four players for third Test against India for failing to complete exercise on how side could improve "This is a line in the sand," said Arthur. We pride ourselves on attitude. We have given the players a huge amount of latitude to get culture and attitude right. We believe that those behaviours are not consistent with what we want to do with this team, how we want to take this team to be the best in the world. I believe those four players unfortunately did not meet my requirements so those four players are not available for selection for this Test match. Watson and seamer Pattinson featured in the opening two Tests against India, while batsman Khawaja and paceman Johnson watched from the sidelines. Arthur said the four players would be available for the fourth and final Test in Delhi. Australia were beaten by an innings and 135 runs in the second Test in Hyderabad. "I asked the players at the end of the game to give me an individual presentation," Arthur said. I wanted three points from each of them technically, mentally and team as to how we were going to get back over the next couple of games, how we were going to get ourselves back into the series. We have given these guys absolute clarity; we have given this team a huge amount of time to buy in with what we want to do for the Australian cricket team. We have given a vision to these guys that is spelt out, we've given an expectation that is spelt out and although this incident might seem very small in isolation, this is a line in the sand moment for us as a unit in our quest to become the best in the world. This has been the toughest decision that myself, manager Gavin Dovey and captain Michael Clarke have ever had to make. It's a tough, tough decision, but the ramifications for that within out teams structure and the message that it sends to all involved in Australian cricket is that we are pretty serious about where we want to take this team.
