How much did it cost them to be told what non australian cricket fans have been saying for years.

Win at all costs mentality got to them. That will change as the current mob don't look like winning in a while. Eventually they'll go back to being "uncompromising" (with some limitations) and they'll slowly bounce back. I'll give them 2 years of being crap before things get better.

There's already calls to release the 3 of them from their bans. Win at all costs is still alive.Bomber wrote:Win at all costs mentality got to them.

ban was too lengthy to begin win. Warner should NEVER return to wear the baggy green!

"Calls" only by those who could see others got away with much less for similar offences. I still say the 12 months should stand (as they will), but also same should apply to anyone else found guilty moving forward.God is an Englishman wrote:There's already calls to release the 3 of them from their bans.

I agree 12 month bans should be the norm, if only some other countries and ICC had issued heavy penalties in the past.Bomber wrote:"Calls" only by those who could see others got away with much less for similar offences.

All of the other proven instances could be put down to one person being a cheat. This was corruption by the "senior" players to cheat. There was no precedent for this.Bomber wrote:

I was shocked they got so long, especially after Australia's history of covering things up or giving short bans.ozzie owl wrote:

Just seen Rod Marsh saying that the ball tampering wasn't entirely the players faults and as such they should have their bans lifted.

So when he recalled Randall when given out in the centenary test, you didn't respect that? Or when he tried to tell Greg Chappell, "nah mate" just before the underarm?God is an Englishman wrote:I didn't.Bodø wrote:I used to have a lot of respect for Rod Marsh.God is an Englishman wrote:Just seen Rod Marsh saying that the ball tampering wasn't entirely the players faults and as such they should have their bans lifted.
Maybe you're too young to remember, but history should be one of your better subjects.

No, the poms win in 13/14, are you thinking of 10/11 when England won easily?

Been a long while since england ever won "easily" - around '78/79 when WSC started and best of our team went there leaving some second graders to play ashes.
5-0 drubbings by Australia however.............

Meh, come back to me when you can manage a 5-0 - a PROPER thrashing! I'll even give you a 4-0 if/when you can manage one and I know your best chance might be the next seriesGod is an Englishman wrote:2010/11 - England won 3-1Bomber wrote:Been a long while since england ever won "easily" - around '78/79 when WSC started and best of our team went there leaving some second graders to play ashes.

I'm not convinced you do if you think winning 3 games in a series by an innings wasn't an easy win.
You could win 5-0 and each win by a run or a wicket and it would be easy? By an innings- easy.

You must like staying in after class.
2-1 down with only one test to go, could have been a massive change from result of one test.
Whereas 5-0................well, fat lady was singing with weeks to spare.

I don't have to try when its so simple - with one test to go, the series was in the balance - hardly "easy".God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:
