Cheating Aussie B******s

They've admitted that they actually planned it inside the dressing room.

Life bans, surely?
Just listening to this on the radio... the captain knew about it and was a bit nervous.

It seems shocking but is it just part of the game?
 
Just been reading a few of the Aussie supporters comments, they are quite rightly appalled I am please to see. Scroll down after the below story to see the comments.

 
I see that. My interest in cricket is somewhat fleeting and fickle though so I was unsure as to how open cheating like this is.

I know about sucking a sweet and of course was it Atherton who had dirt in his pocket?

Yes not a great thing to do but these lads have been even more silly

Atherton was an obvious act that is largely within the laws of the game (a spinner rubs his hand in the dirt before gripping the ball. Atherton applied the dirt for Salisbury(?) in advance.
Sucking sweets? Hmm, that's a tricky one. Has there been any evidence that it makes a difference. It's certainly not within the spirit of the game.
However, what Australia have done, admitted to doing and admitted to planning to do is huge - admitting to meeting and discussing ways to cheat? Wow, that's huge
