Perhaps the " leadership team " should have chosen someone of greater sleight of hand than the brainless Bancroft to carry out the crime.

I agree Bomber, that Smith and others involved should be stood down. I noticed how Toomer forgets Atherton didn't stand down when he was caught been naughty with dirt in his pocket?Bomber wrote:Nothing to defend. Anyone involved should be stood down immediately. Inexcusable. Although its not like the poms were squeaky clean when it comes to fiddling with the ball, so remember those glasshouses.

still in shock....not that they did it (I'm reasonably sure that most countries have at some stage) but the sheer arrogance of believing the 30 odd cameras wont catch you out...

Does make you think though, in addition to pockets full of sugar how long has the weasel warner been wearing that elaborate plaster on his hand and is it purely coincidence they used the yellow tape after his hand was complained about."Look at the Ashes series we've just played, look through all of those Test matches and they reverse swing the ball sometimes in conditions you wouldn't expect the ball to reverse," said Broad.
"I don't understand why they've changed their method for this one game."
It definitely has no place in Australian sport and the culprits need to face severe sanctions for their conduct.God is an Englishman wrote:Well I have been saying it's been happening for a whil e but no, I was disappointed to see it being so blatant.Brian the Postman wrote:I bet you beat off when this news broke.God is an Englishman wrote:Have cricket australia just bottled it by only standing down smith and warner for this test.

Aussies love to point the finger, whether it be Olympic cheats, cricket cheats or any other sporting cheats. They have that holier than though attitude. But why are Aussies any different to the rest of humanity? What, we are some super human breed immune to corruption? The only difference is that Aussies generally have a smugness about cheating because they rarely get caught.

Handscomb liking of sugar....FFS, what is left to investigate?

Anyone proved to be involved (and we already know who some of them are) should really be stood down for a minimum of one year.
I for one found it difficult to watch them last night and only really watched the coverage to hear what all the commentators would say about it.
Others have been guilty of ball tampering (until this match, the old bottle tops used by Pakistan have been the worst), so one can only throw so much mud, but the stupidity of it all in even hatching such a plan speaks volumes.
