CA refuse ABC interviews over Clark's criticism

Following play on day three at the SCG, Cricket Australia refused to make players available to the ABC for post-play interviews after a confrontation between Todd Greenberg and Stuart Clark.
On day two, Stuart Clark criticised selectors and the head of cricket, questioning if George Bailey and James Allsopp had authority over captains and calling Allsopp a `grade club cricket coach`.
Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg met Clark at the SCG to voice displeasure and defend George Bailey, James Allsopp and staff, calling Clark's remarks out of order.
CA noted it has no contractual obligation to provide players to broadcasters but had offered them as a courtesy in each of the previous four Ashes Tests, and post-play interviews were expected to resume on Wednesday.
Clark later said he `sought Todd out` and described the exchange as cordial, adding `We spoke about it cordially, and we obviously don't agree, but that's cool`; Greenberg emphasised Clark's remarks were personal views, not those of Cricket NSW on Tuesday.
