I suppose with your England hat on you've got to be slightly conservative with your estimations haven't you.

Good to see this SA v Aus series still isn’t being played within the laws and spirit of Cricket......





The 2nd tweet was after it was spotted and umpires wanted to talk to Bancroft so he placed the yellow object down his briefs.

Cameron Bancroft: Australia player admits to ball-tampering, Steve Smith knew in advance

Insane! How did they think they would get away with it so many cameras!

The Bancroft / Smith press conference was pathetic like 2 school children, hopefully banned for a while! (Ideally until after the 2019 ashes!)

Ecb should ban Bancroft from county cricket until after the ashes minimum

this isn't a "nice" Australian side.
Despicable cheating. Is this really 1st time they've done it?
Complaining about sledging, crowd comments etc.
Lehmann was the one calling for the crowd to abuse Broad for "cheating" - now this is his team and the walkie-takie business doesn't look kosher either.
As for the sledging etc. coming from a side/cricket association that ignored the abuse aimed at Bairstow about not choking like his father did. Disgusting!! Certainly some of the sledging in 1st few Ashes Tests was supposed to have crossed all sorts of "boundaries".

A ban for both of them until they are too old to play would be nice.

If Smith resigns the vice captain is the even more disgusting Warner so think I would prefer he stops now, Warner will be part of the leadership group or whatever the term was.

These Aussies are going to get some real stick at the real home of English cricket the Hollies stand will be fully ready and won’t know where to start Bancroft or Warner and his wife.

Just caught up with this, surely the "leadership group" includes the coaches aswell. This for me is on a par with an athlete that dopes, the Aussies should be kicked out of international cricket for a couple of years. Cheating barstards

That's the bit I don't get. No way it wasn't going to get caught on camera.

Warners always had loads (way more than is normal) tape on his fingers too. They've been up to no good for a while. As for them Whinging about the sledging, what a Bunch of wankers.

It’s what sticks to the tape normally abrasive things.

He basically made some rudimentary sanding paper using the tape and grit/dirt to make one side of the ball rougher a lot quicker

The days of rubbing the ball on your studs or standing on the ball have gone at that level, I know somebody who played in a friendly with a Pakistan pro and he said after about ten overs the ball was a wreck on one side he used to get a lot of mud in his studs.

Years ago we had a Pakistani who’d just come into the country play for us in the old Monday night league. He was swinging the ball round corners both ways. The wicket keeper came over and showed me the ball at the end of one over and it looked like a corkscrew on one side.
Its always gone on in one form or another.

Smith banned for a test and fined match fee
Bancroft 75% tines match fee no ban.

Not particularly punishing or off putting for others....

Joke but it’s only a cat2 offence so you would get more for swearing at the umpire! It will be interesting to see if Aus cricket removes him. I doubt it will happen

Ridiculous, that's the biggest punishment Smith can receive for what is a Level 2 offence.

By the sound of just how pissed off everyone in Australia, hopefully CA will come down like a tonne of bricks...
