OK, Now We Rock at cricket- What was I thinking :-)

[tryagain]

In no way excusing the cheating, but am I the only one who thinks the chances of randomly filming all the relevant players at the right time pretty long and therefore make the uncovering seem not so random?

Anyone want it,
It's only up the road from here.
Swag mail will get it to you.

That's a scam. They use 4 piece balls in test cricket.  Might be OK for Grade Cricket though.

[GeoffA]

what about the rest of them in on it?....news reports named a few others, if that's the case then they need to go aswell.

Smith and Warner haven't gone anywhere. They've been stood down from their leadership positions, nothing more (atm).....still playing.....

60 odd cameras, at least one on each side of ground following the ball every second, no not really hard

Camera crew picked it up, kept filming and it was reported, they just followed the crumbs from then on.

If they don't cancel the next game, I think they might have to bring Finch and perhaps Burns over to replace Smith and Warner permanently.  Perhaps also Maxwell or Renshaw to replace Bancroft temporarily. Probably Ponting or Langer to replace Boofhead permanently. And, who else knew?  Lyon? Need a replacement for him too.

[Cruiser 105Tvan]

I think the person directing the Cameras is going to get a big bonus for their effort.  Maybe the camera-person too.

You would have thought he would have used something that didnt stand out like the proverbial Dogs balls [ big hunk of bright yellow tape ]   .. Surely he would have  had access to some clear packaging tape ..  May aswell took a big squeeze bottle of contact glue out there and smeared it all over the ball ..
Sack all involved and let them pay their own fares home .

What a diagusting bunch of spoilt, entitled cheats.  If this is what the Gentlemans game has come to its lost me. 

These scumbags should be banned for life to send a message that Cricket will never stand for cheating.

Just looking at the overseas news shows what damage they have done to both Cricket and Australia.

[3rd time lucky]

Changing my opinion: Smith will never play for Australia again.

       I recon even Boof knew about this.....  Just my opinion

if both the head coach (lehmann) and bowling coach (saker) didn't know, i'll eat a piece of sandpaper...

curious to know how many of the team, outside of the 'leadership group' knew as well...

if they knew, but just went along, their integrity is in question also, IMO...

[Craig Tomkinson]

Its bean going on for years walking on the pitch by bowlers, Hair products on the ball, full toss at your head, claimed catches, the list goes on, Craig

[Spada]

was bound to happen now that sportsbet, crownbet, tabcorp, ladbroke, youbet, etc, etc all have a vested interest in the outcome of the game.

The game (like almost all sports now) is no longer about winning a tin cup..................it's all about the $$$$$$$$$, and there are a lot of vested interests all with their hand in the cookie jar.

Not to mention preparing pitches to suit your own bowling attack! Oh, hang on, that's accepted, so not cheating

that's not cheating at all...  that's the benefit of having the test match at your home ground...

if you want to be the best, then you have to be the best at home and away from home, in different conditions (humidity, wind, etc)...

no different to players having different bats, or different countries using different cricket balls...

Feel a bit sorry for Tim Paine. Having to front the media after getting spanked and having to apologise for something instigated by others. As if his cricket career hasn't had enough setbacks.

Wonder what Smith might say about Maxwell's professionalism now....

[plusnq]

Their headlines are the best 
Something finally pushed crocs off the front page too!

Camera's catching the on field antics doesn't surprise me but filming the coach at just the right time makes it a little bit harder to believe but still not that unusual, the 12th man having a chat on the radio whilst sitting on the sideline is the one that seems most unusual to me, I don't remember ever seeing footage of the 12th man sitting on the sideline before, not all impossible, but also not likely that they just coincidentally have camera's pointing in the right places at the right time.

[Chappie]

It seems arrogant that they all discussed the plan and thought they would get away with it?
How would Bancroft have gone if he had chosen two fingers on his non dominant hand and wrapped them together but use the tape with the sticky side out?  Probably wouldn't stand out as much, still cheating though.

SAF have already accused Warner this series of doing just that.

true or not its been reported the local TV station was told to focus on Bancroft... how they knew this, bug in the dressing rooms?

wonder how the sponsors are liking it...
