Lets talk Cricket!!

You can send me to a tropical island all expenses paid anytime Cuppa .

We need to get back to the good old days of cricket .Attachment 74841

They have their penalty they dont need the booing and 2 yr old reaction from others.
Leave their families alone and get on with rebuilding and healing this BS.
Going to hurt them in the pocket big time with sponsors walking out.
Its done its over move on.
Maybe bring back Pup as a captain??

Been a testy subject TD and the players involved have been vilified enough I think , one positive is I don't think an Aussie player will ever be tempted again to do the same thing .

... especially not when in every other case IIRC and as per the ICC the guilty dudes have only gotten a match fee fine and/or demerits and/or a one match suspension.

Ball Tampering is a low grade and very common offence but an offence it is.
IMHO the individual country should apply penalties above the ICC.
Strip the Capt and Vice... yes
Send the dickheads home from a test series... yes
Add a few more matches to the ICC suspension... yes
12 months instead of a few matches/month... total bollocks and several magnitudes worse than any other dude has ever copped.

But totally agree that Smith and the ACB handled the whole thing abysmally... only a John Cleese Traning Vid would have got it that far wrong.

Here is an interesting article, puts things into perspective, just a bit!

I do think they went overboard but saves them selves $4mil.
Will be hard to convince sponsors to return, as aussies we will heal this matter
and soon enough be back as no 1 it'll take time sure but we will recover'
Feel for Boof he was a great coach,going to be interesting what the new lineup
looks like, enough said eh

Good point... most Cricket balls have been either violently beaten or screwed by up to 22 blokes.

An exfoliation treatment is probably a kindness really.

That is a well written article.
Makes a very valid point.
I just posted it on the other forum.
It didn't rate a mention.
Nothing to see here folks :roll:

Good start by the Aussies, cracker of a catch by Khawaja 3/21

An Indian player was caught for ball tampering and because India run the cricket
all he got was $5k fine finished done and dusted.
Seems we took out the trash ,must say Im not a fan of warner especially when he jumps up after getting a ton'
Same with smith not a fan, plus Warner is a smart rrrs
