Mickey Arthur to sue Cricket Australia over sacking At the time, James Sutherland, the chief executive of Cricket Australia, said "we will meet all our responsibilities to Mickey," but Arthur has now employed a law firm in Sydney to negotiate a settlement. There was a lot of things - even reading the papers - it just didn't seem like the harmony in the Australian dressing room was right in the Australian cricket team, and that's never been the case when I've been around it. The young blokes, they need to know that someone's looking after them and someone's got their back. It's a hard enough game as it is, international cricket, without being really worried about your spot or how you look in the nets or you dismissal - you need some support. The actual timing of the changeover of coaches I think was the right way to go, as hard as it was for Mickey to lose his job when he did. As an outsider - and that's what I am now - it just couldn't afford to wait two Test matches into the series. It had to happen when it did.
