10 altercations between players of the same country

Michael Clarke and Simon Katich

Clarke and Katich played State and International cricket together.

After triumphing over a strong South African outfit in 2009, Katich wanted to celebrate the moment with his teammates by singing the Australian victory song, ‘Under the Southern Cross I Stand’.

Michael Clarke, however, was keen on catching up with his model-fiancée, and was in disagreement with the timing of the song. Even as stunned teammates watched, Katich allegedly caught Michael Clarke by the throat.

The incident had serious implications on Katich’s career, and led to his early exit after Clarke was made captain in late 2009. Katich later said that the incident was a moment of ‘passion’ and can be attributed to his ‘bubbling Croatian bloodline’.
