Can't blame him.
The team is saddled with inexperienced no hopers.

All the champs are gone and now Aussie cricket has a gaping hole to fill.

They have no chance in the Ashes whoever the coach is.

Somehow the ACB seems to partly blame Arthur for Warner's unprovoked punch which doesn't make sense.

Where did you read that? ...However, yes his response to the Warner incident was the latest factor.

The problem is the amount of money these average players are getting. What is the worst thing that can happen to you if the Aussie team kicks you out for misdemeanours?
You get to play in IPL where players who can't even make the state team become millionaires

There is no incentive to perform or behave in the test team anymore, other than national pride...which itself is a diminishing emotion.

Yes...discipline in general but not responsible for Warner's punch. What he was responsible for though is the fact that a player was out at 2am, got in a fight and got off lightly.

Players have always walked all over him. Absolutely no idea how he got another national gig.
