Agree

If you subscribe to Circle of Cricket, you would notice that they are lambasting the Aussies.

Circle Of Cricket is Indian based

However he as captain has openly admitted discussing this with other members of his team including other leaders and then agreeing to go out onto the field and carry out this action of altering the condition of the ball. As a leader and man of integrity (his words) he should have stopped the discussion Immediately and SAID no way do you go ahead with this. The Australians talk of the line that one shouldn't cross all the time. They are a sorry bunch and of story.

it seems your indignation stems from the fact that they admitted to ball tampering - that makes them cheats and a sorry bunch
when you cheat and is found guilty but you deny (like faf has done TWICE) - then it is OK

Smith, Warner and Bancroft will be on the plane back to SA after this test as they surely will not be picked to play in the final test. I am sure that they players that are going to replace them are all set to fly to SA within the next 12 hours or so.

If anyone hasnt watched the mini-series "Bodyline" I definitely recommend it.
It was made in 1984 & is about the 1932-1933 Ashes tour of Australia. It is one of the best sports movies/series I have ever seen. Well worth watching. !!!

Was it only me who saw the coach sending instructions onto the field , which then lead to Bancroft attempting to hide the sandpaper being used for ball tampering , Leahman should be suspended as well imo

I agree Craig, he(Lehman) knew all about, why else would he react like that if he was oblivious to what was going on. Once he realised he was on the big screen, he tried to hide the walkie talkie in his hand. Still going to be a huge fall out for Aussie cricket.

If you want trust, trust others. If you want respect, respect others. If you want love and peace in your life, give them away. If you want great friends, be one
