Australia coach Mickey Arthur takes to Twitter to hit out at critics of rotation policy

Australia cricket coach Mickey Arthur has taken to Twitter to hit back at critics following the national side's humiliation against Sri Lanka.
The knives are very much out following the Aussies batsmen's capitulation on Friday, when they were bowled out for just 74 at the Gabba.

This once again raised questions about the controversial rotation policy - officially the "informed player management system" - that saw top batsmen Michael Clarke, David Warner and Matthew Wade miss the first two games of the ODI series.
After previously defending the much-talked-about policy in press conferences, South African Arthur thought he would go direct to the source on this occasion.
He started off by having a fair crack at the tendancy of some Aussie fans to focus on the negatives, before posting several tweets justifying the resting of certain players.
For all you faceless people that sent very abusive tweets-hope you are consistent and send congrats when we play well.

Every time we select an OZ cricket team we expect to win!We do not rotate players we manage them sothat we can get maximum performance.

With our schedule it is impossible for the players to play every game.We want our best players on the field most of the time.

Arthur was also at pains to point out that Australia's policy is in line with much of the cricketing world, noting "our competitors manage their major players as well!"
Our schedule in the next 18 months is the most demanding and important ever-and yes our competitors manage their major players as well!!

He also retweeted a message sent to him which pointed out star England players Jonathan Trott, James Anderson and Graeme Swann aren't taking part in the one-day series in India at the moment.
Later, Arthur told media he agrees that in the short term, the frequent changes could hamper the team's ability to develop momentum and consistency - but advantages will be felt over time.

"That is the one drawback," Arthur said.
"In an ideal world, and in my previous jobs, I've been very strong on it, you want structure and you want stability.
"Because structure and stability give you success.
"But with the amount of cricket we play we can have structure and stability with a squad of 16 players instead of a team of 11.
"I think that's the way we've got to go. It literally is as simple as that.
"... And once we've got that squad of 16 it's very easy to know exactly how they fit in, what their roles are and where they stand in the pecking order."
Arthur revealed that at times the sports science recommendations had been ignored and players had been asked to play through pain.
"People have questioned do we know who the best team is? Of course we do," he said.
"As I said last week, Michael and I make decisions with the selector on duty based on information we've given.
"A huge amount of times we've said 'no, we're not going to take that up, we're going to play the bowler ... we want him to push through'.
"We've done that plenty of times, but unfortunately that will never get reported because nobody knows that."
