In Michael Clarke’s ‘Beyond23’ podcast, Jasprit Bumrah said he was mostly self-taught in the art of bowling.
The 42-year-old also said captain Pat Cummins 'got it wrong' tactically.
Clarke, however, would not blame team leader Tim Paine for the unthinkable Test series defeat at home.
The reaction from Melbourne-based sports broadcaster and writer Gerard Whateley that sparked a scathing Instagram response from Clarke late Wednesday.
Clarke joined a chorus of former players who have criticised the new ethos propagated in the wake of March's ball-tampering scandal, saying Australia's chances of success would be compromised if their aggressive streak was tempered.
The couple, who got married in May, 2012, have a four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee.
Laxman rejected the claims made by Michael Clarke wherein he said that Australian players were too scared to 'sledge' Virat Kohli during the 2018-19 Test series and in order to protect their million dollar IPL deals, they "sucked up" to the India captain.
Clarke said Australian cricket went through a phase when players were too scared to sledge Indian stars as they feared it could jeopardise their IPL contracts.
Clarke told a local radio station this week he thought Australian cricket, reeling from the ball-tampering scandal, had 'sucked up' to India and that some players did not 'sledge' them in the 2018-19 series.
Clarke included two Indians -- Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli -- in his list of seven great batsmen he played alongside or against. The other five are Brian Lara, A B de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Ricky Ponting and Kumar Sangakkara.
