Sydney: Australian cricket skipper Michael Clarke has rubbished Australian reports of upheaval in the team before Australia's embarrassing fourth Test loss to England.

A News Corp report on Monday said the tour had been affected by off-field dramas with a long-running feud between the wives of two senior players; Clarke's refusal to travel on the team bus or socialise with teammates and the sacking of popular vice-captain Brad Haddin after he took time off for family reasons.
