So basically Warner threw that sap Bancroft under the bus and his teammates no longer want to know him.
Community service beckons...he could pick up litter without having to bend down.
Douglas Jardine started it with the body-line shit which was totally within the law and the bad feelings has developed since that time.
A bit of banter on the field is great, trying to put others off their game is part of it but cheating is a no no.
The way the Aussies done it this time warrants bans and fines and whatever for being so stupid and transparent.
No excuses......................Smith should receive a razz award for being so dumb. I am disgusted he is from the same state as me.
OK, thanks for the admission that your suggestion Emgland are cheats was a bunch of bs. Fact is bowling to intimidate the batsman became par for the course 40 years later, and some of the best exponents of it were Australian.
Jardine was ahead of his time.
Time has proven again recently that Australians dish it out rather better than they can take it.
BTW...do you think a genuine 100% Australian will ever play for Australia?
You didn't add any question marks Simple.
Can you repeat your question or maybe you can ask a Thai to help you.![]()
^ Thanks Simple.
Maybe you can start a worthwhile thread and entertain us with your wit and humour?
But..........................![]()
Give it a rest..this is a cricket thread....plenty of others if you want to abuse each other. You guys are getting a bit tiresome.
Back on Topic.
Australian Cricket has some great new players coming through and I hope the purge of cheats see these guys getting a chance.
Could be just what we need.
Well if only 3 players knew of the ball tampering the bowler at the other end must be an idiot .
Most fast bowlers have hands like sandpaper anyway Toey.
Particularly those big West Indian buggers.![]()
I think Steve Smith was a little more naiive than a cheat, and that's coming from a Pom not an ex con..
A great pity since I thought he would become one of the greatest batsmen of the modern era, if he hasn't already done so.
I hope he has the chance to make a come-back and keeps his appetite for displaying such a great talent.
A sad day for Australia indeed.

^ A Kraut? My forefathers were heard all over the Western front rolling in their graves!
I have recounted in one thread my wife's horror at seeing my Christian, middle and surname written on several headstones on ww1 memorials. Many a joke has been made about resting in peace so close the the TGV line...
Readjust my friend, I am indeed a soap dodger, and was rsther proud of it until Bexit hit the streets.
That's my feeling also.
He is one of the best of the modern era.
The lead story everywhere in Australia.
Tried to explain to my Thai Partner the significance of the event (she's NOT a Cricket fan) and it took a while to sink in.
IMHO Smith is a great batsman but a weak captain. He's not a criminal.
Warner is a wanker who can play the game, but remains a wanker and if he NEVER dons the Baggy Green again,
I'd support that.
^ p.s. My comments should have made you realise I was English...the Krauts know less about Cricket than they do about....blankety blank
Now the Aussie cricket team have been caught bang to rights and dealt with just need to deal with the NZ rugby team now who are the biggest cheats in world sport and the world will be at peace again.
