India vs Australia: Twitter attack forces Mickey Arthur to delete account

The Aussies are trailing 0-3 in the four-match series,beaten by six wickets in the just-concluded third Test. They would be desperate to avoid a whitewash when they take the field for the fourth Test in Delhi starting Friday.

Arthur8217;s Twitter page has several messages from users,lampooning him,and one of them reads,Hey Mickey Mouse MickeyArthur do you have enough quicks for 3rd test? Now it8217;s going to be a seamer so I suggest you play 4 spinners8230;,.

MickeyArthur How8217;s the team spirit this morn? Did they all wear the correct uniform? Did Hughes and Warner scrub skippers whites for him?

The South African8217;s decision to close his account was also greeted with ridiculing comments.

adam_pearce13 said,It8217;s about time you focus on the cricket anyway.

Another,willderen tweeted to Arthur,You8217;re an idiot.,MarkCooper said you suck,while KevinWilde described Arthur8217;s move to delete his account as weak.

Arthur,who guided South Africa to the top of the ICC rankings,has endured a rather tough tenure with the Aussies,who have gone from being invincible to a vulnerable team in transition.
