Australia Cricket Board has fired Coach Mickey Arthur with just a little over two weeks to the start of the ashes series against England.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sack of Arthur followed series of poor results, including a 4-nil test series defeat in India this Year.<\/p>\n

The Aussies have also had to endure a number of disciplinary issues in the squad.<\/p>\n

Cricket Australia Chief Executive James Sutherland described the decision as tough, which no doubt surprised a lot of people.<\/p>\n

Arthur, whose contract will expire in 2015, took full responsibility for the Teams poor outing but emphasized that he gave his best to the Team.<\/p>\n

Author has been replaced by Darren Lehmann.<\/p>\n
