Dear oh dear!!

The scars inflicted by John Buchanan on Shane Warne must run deep. What else explains this broadside in a signed eulogy on Adam Gilchrist's achievements?

And when John Buchanan was in charge . . . let me tell you, we needed as much common sense around as we could, because I believe the coach had none. Speaking of the ex-coach, he should thank Gilly and the captain Ricky Ponting for an extension of his contract, because they were the only two who wanted him to stay.

Everyone else asked said: "No, let him go. He's had his time."

Gilly supported the coach. I say good on him for standing up for what he believed to be best for the team.
