Dyer also said that it was important not only for players who were responsible for the team slide down the rankings.
"My opinion is that players are always held immediately accountable for their performance in the field and also for good reasons, off the field too," he said.

There was a decline in standards and a decline in the way of presenting the game.
"If you look at where Australia's cricket in general, we have slipped in the rankings and so clearly that would have consequences not only for the players, but for those who were responsible for this process.

This resulted in a one-year extension of the Memorandum of Understanding, so that both groups return to the negotiating table in 2012.

The important thing is that once we have received in the previous MOU, these results can not be replaced.
