    And what about Lehman?

    He just stood by and let the more boorish side of Australian character take hold in the team. Also has a track record of dodgy behaviour.

    It's a total joke to read of Australians complaining about barracking from opposing fans too.

    ^ That's good.

    We are taking the piss out of ourselves.

    Apologies to the Cricketing fraternity.

    Absolutely any chance of taking the piss out of the Poms for the Ashes reply next year?

    Only if you promise not to cheat again.

    Agree with the over the top reaction.
    It has happened undetected by camera for yonks!
    Don't condone it but put it into the ball basket and move-on.

    Bollocks. It's not one person tinkering with the ball, it's the senior players actually organising it that is the issue.

    Systemic cheating deserves the strongest punishment (c.f. Pakistan).

    I must have missed the part where they have joined ISIS,were plotting to assassinate the prime minister,apparently rubbing a cricket ball with a bit of sandpaper is a hangable offence.

    They should miss a couple of games for being fucking dickheads.

    Not much of a cricket fan or follower but seems to me that it's more a case of chickens coming home to roost than the actual ball tampering.

    That's just the convenient vent and avenue that people are using against a team that seems to have been building a bad rep and sentiment against them for a long time now.

    Is cricket somehow seen as the last bastion of nobility in sports? There is an accepted corruption in just about every other (well paid) sport now. -Doping, PED's, "diving" in football, bad judging, etc. Why should cricket be any different?

    Australia has built up the wearers of 'the baggy green' as exemplars of admirable traits in the country's national character. It's anachronistic to the point of being laughable, especially when applied to a no-class urchin like David Warner, but there it is...

    Oh, and that's largely what makes this so amusing of course...the sound of pomposity being burst.

    It seems that what a bunch of thoroughly obnoxious cnuts this team has become under 'boof' can now finally be talked about.

    Not sure if you can blame him for that. Waugh started it and Ponting ramped it up a bit. Smith is a different kettle of fish - pure fuckwit. What a shame - Phil Hughes and now this. Yes, Steve - you are dead to me.

    Oh the shame...

    Lehman has stood by while the oafishness has reigned, though. The buck stops with him.

    And to listen to him whining about hostile crowds hurling insults...hilarious stuff.

    What next...a plea for the SA press to be more balanced?

    not sure they will have anyone cheering for them anymore. If like me, many had lost faith in them being people to be proud of already. Warner is toast - and many will be laughing hard

    Lehman was a cock when he was a player and nothing has changed. He was liked in the dressing room by a bunch of cheating cocks - so you can see why he fit in so well. Blow it all up I say..

    Cricket: Steve Smith and David Warner banned for a year, Cameron Bancroft for nine months

    Australian cricket stars Steve Smith and David Warner have paid a hefty price for their part in the ball-tampering scandal.
    Smith and Warner have both received 12 month bans from Cricket Australia for a pre-meditated plan to tamper with the ball in the third test match against South Africa.
    Smith, vice-captain David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft conspired to cheat by illegally changing the condition of the ball by rubbing it with a piece of sandpaper and some dirt.
    Bancroft - the player instructed to tamper with the ball - has also received a nine month ban.

    The trio are suspended from all international and domestic cricket, and all three players will be required to undertake 100 hours of voluntary service in community cricket.

    As I said I don't condone it, is it realty systematic cheating?
    Not in my opinion. If you have evidence of that, tell us.

    Good.

    We are Australians and we do not cheat. We win and lose according to our merits. Fuck what the Pakis and Indians and Saffers and Poms play.

    Lesson learned and demonstrated for all the people and cricket fans, young and old they let down.

    England don't belong in any group of cheats and you know it...you're just transparently trolling as per.
