No pun intended. &ldquo;From my point of view, it&#39;s disappointing. It&rsquo;s a very minor incident and being dealt with in-house.&rdquo;u00a0Vaughan absolved Australia coach Mickey Arthur and captain Michael Clarke for a confrontation that took place just under a month before the first Ashes Test starts at Trent Bridge on July 10. Arthur dropped four players for the third Test in India in March &mdash; a series Australia eventually lost 4-0 &mdash; for failing to complete &ldquo;homework&rdquo; having asked them for written comments about how to improve the team.u00a0
