How they have dealt with this just isn’t Cricket.

Scapegoating is never nice to watch. Shameful cowardice by all those who never stood up like men.

Bellends.

Totally agree. No way this is confined to those 3 players yet they have been utterly hung out to dry.

I felt for their player clearly distraught carrying the can. How the others could sit on their hands when they know they were all complicit is utter cowardice.

I have much more respect for that lad for standing up and accepting he did wrong than all of those who ran for cover.

It seems honour has died another death. The whole team should have stood there. We all fucked up and we all take the flak, should have been the way.

And that prick Lehmann as well, playing the victim in all this where he is and has always been an absolute cock of a man.

Well that press conference was a sight to behold,couldn't help but laugh,crying cause he's been caught,no sympathy me,all cheating bastards,but he is the captain and must take the brunt I'm afraid

 

[waspish]

Is Warner not having a press conference? If so that’s right because they new what they were doing take all the flack and punishment and when the ban has finished make your statement then

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I laughed so much when he started to cry when he mentioned his parents, proper Crocodile Dundee tears. It was only a few months ago that they were laughing at Jonny Bairstow in front of the media. Twats, they deserve the pain they’ve caused themselves.


Fuck it, I’m off to go watch him cry again.

Does anyone else think this is being blown out of all proportions? Cricket has been rife with ball tampering over the years, even atherton caught doing it I think. Ok, maybe the punishment will deter it in future, but this while moral high ground the cricketing world is taking I find very distasteful. As for them disgracing their country, letting down there families, it’s cricket. It’s a game. No one died or was hurt. People really need to put it in perspective.

These 3 cricketers are getting worse treatment than that cop in America who shot dead an unarmed man with his pants down, what is world coming to.

Scratching the ball with your nails or throwing it into the rough is one thing, to take fucking sandpaper on the field is another. Totally out of order, pre-planned and pre-meditated. Personally i think they've got off lightly. Wouldn't be happy if i was a paying spectator to find out it had been going on.

Didn’t atherton put dirt or something in his pocket to scratch /rough the ball up? Don’t remember too much fuss then when he did it.

how fake was that crying hahahahah

I think this Aussie team has been getting under a lot of people’s skin for quite some time. They’re cheats and it’s also their attitude towards the game that makes them deserves what they’re recieving now. Some of the stuff Warner was saying to Bairstow during the Ashes was not on, if the rumours are true.

Yeah I get that, they are a very unlikeable bunch and I’ve always thought Warner especially is a very unpleasant person.

Its commenly talked about that Warner was sledging Bairstow abt his dad.

They are a bunch of horrible bastards the Aussies and always have been.

Its apparently well known too that the Aussies use to pisstake Chris Cairns. Making choo choo noises at him after his sister died in a train accident. Glen McGrath being the instigator.

And this just about sums them up as individuals and as a nation.
Fucking horrible twats!

If that second part is true why the fuck didn’t he do something about it? Either make a complaint or smash the **** with his bat!

If He'd done this to me I'd still be in Nick.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

After watching Smith’s tearful press conference, I do feel a bit sorry for him.

But I still can’t believe it’s a one-off incident with only three players involved.

The bowlers and Lehmann need their IQs tested if they were truly oblivious to what transpired in the third test.

It’s cricket Australia handing out the punishments though isn’t it. The ICc gave him a one game ban! Tough punishments for something that has been going on for years in one form or another. Bet not many current cricketers will condemn them!

But it’s still cheating and it needs eradicating from the game. They’re been made examples of. Any other team and I would have sympathy for them, but not for this Aussie team.

Really ? McGrath of all people eh.....just goes to show,horrible bastards the lot of um

Lehmann will be stepping down after the fourth test.
