Shane Warne isn't letting the public forget that he doesn't like former Australian coach John Buchanan after launching an extraordinary tirade following Buchanan's critique of outgoing captain Michael Clarke.
Buchanan, a former director of New Zealand Cricket and Australian coach from 1999 to 2007, told an Australian publication that the retiring Clarke didn't attempt to shape the team culture during his reign as captain.
"Players like Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting and others really tried to make the baggy green culture something special but I could sense it was under threat and under Michael's captaincy I can sense it has disappeared a bit and that disappointed me," Buchanan told news.com.au.
"If he finished games early, Michael would often leave early. I can remember guys like Hayden and Langer sitting him down in a corner and trying to get him to understand what we were trying to achieve. There were times when I felt Michael did not understand or did not want to understand.
Warne defended his close friend Clarke on Australian television show Today by turning the tables on Buchanan, who isn't the only person to criticize Clarke following the announcement he was retiring after next week's fifth Ashes test.
