Michael Clarke has been criticized by his former teammate and test nemesis, Simon Katich, for stating that he "is not going to win the game" by softening an aggressive cricket tradition.
Former Australian captain Clarke spoke loudly on Tuesday, but Katich said his comments on the swanky Australian cricket were uninspired.
"Once again, we find someone who misses the goal," Katich told SEN Radio. Whateley.
"The fact is we've been caught blatantly cheating and we need to fix it as quickly as possible in order to regain the respect of the cricket public in Australia and around the world.
"We have been a hated team for a number of years because of this on-the-ground behavior, and that has obviously taken a toll on Cape Town.
"It's a difficult battle for this team to bear the burden of what is presented to them.
"They can always play the Australian way to be competitive and fair, but do not go too far and do not follow the rules as they did in Cape Town."
After a cultural review launched after the balloon manipulation scandal in Cape Town, Australian cricket emerged with a new mission statement: "Compete with us, smile with us, continue to fight with us, dream with us. "
The statement was widely ridiculed by former players and Clarke – who told Jimmy Anderson in an ashes test of "getting ready for a broken arm" – warned that this could cause a significant drop in results.
"It's not necessary to be the best friend in the world.Austrian cricket, I think, must stop fearing to be loved and start worrying about being respected, "Clarke told Macquarie Sports Radio.
"Play Australian cricket, because we like it or not, it's in our blood.
"If you're trying to get out, we're going to be the most popular team in the world, we will not win *** We will not win a game, boys and girls want to win."
Clarke has launched a pbadionate defense of the banned star David Warner, main scapegoat of the Cape disaster, who has been banned from the executive positions of the Australian team.
Without specifically naming suspended captain Steve Smith, Clarke said the team's management failed to handle Warner – the vice-captain prior to his fall – and his unique attributes.
"It's his style, he's very frank, what you see with David Warner is what you get," Clarke said.
"Your greatest strength may be your greatest weakness.For me, I've always liked having him in the team that I headed because he was bringing aggression that I By saying that there was always a line, he knew it.We had several conversations on a line about this line, he could not go beyond.
"There has to be somebody in that direction, usually it should be your captain, who can control that, if it makes the most of Warner, which I think, then you have to let him go as far as you wish it and then say: 'Rightio, back you come, pull your head in it, that's enough, no more'.
"He [Warner] brings this positive approach to the Australian cricket team. You can not ask him to bring that, and then blame him or ask him to be a kitty when it comes to giving it to him.
"David Warner gives it to some guys on the ground because he wants them to give it to him when he hits." It's like a lighter, it makes him better.
"People who praise David Warner … they know him.You have to accept David for who he is and what he brings to the team."

Clarke lamented that among all the players ready to go on the field this summer, Indian captain Virat Kohli seems to be the best representative of the famous Australian style of ultra-aggressive cricket.
"Virat Kohli's clbad, the absolute clbad," said Clarke.
"I love the way he plays, I love his intention, his aggressiveness and, above all, his pbadion."
"He loves playing for India and beating Australia – it's so Australian.
"That's how I learned, that's how I grew up looking at Warney, Matty Hayden, Border, Chappell." Looking at these guys, they're you have learned that when you visit this field, you are fighting for every one-stop shop or one-stop shop that you can get for your country, because that's so important.
"I think Virat Kohli does that, I think that's why we [the Australian public] hate him, because he does exactly what we do.
"And for the moment, he's better than us, unfortunately."
