Cheating Aussie B******s

[Liverpool Beachball]

It did but they were getting a lot of swing during the series. I'm convinced now they were cheating

Agree they were getting more reverse swing then out bowlers, just think that one was a freak ball an not an example of anything untoward

 

[Boinger]

Sorry but I just dont buy Smiths press conference at all. Any half decent physchologist would pick it apart.

 

[thamesvalleyman]

I still think if the Aussie Cricket Board had anything about them, then a lifetime ban should have been issued. I’d like to think the ECB would do the same if it were our players doing it.

They had no problems bringing up Bairstow's dad did they?

Flintoff right up their backsides on twitter.

That for me crossed the line of sledging...I knew most of them were shitehawks but to pisstake about the death of someone's parents showed them for what they are...Pleased they're all getting their comeuppance.

Yep,as much sincerity to it as a Pakistani apology.

Hate him and Warner me faces you would never get sick of punching.

 

[Monument View]

Did Smith not have any sandpaper in is pocket to wipe his eyes and crocodile tears on..?

 

[Lord Potts]

I don't know what the great Richie Benaud would have detested the most?
Aussies cheating to win a cricket match and getting caught.
The Captain of Australia blubbing like a baby on TV because he was caught cheating.

Pass the sick bucket Richie my stomach just can't stand it.

Get the waterworks going for a bit of sympathy, wankers.

He's claiming he asked the 12th man to find out what was going on. If true he had no control of the players anyway.

He didn't need the 12th man to find out. Fucker was plastered on the big screens with the sandpaper. It was only after had made Bancroft aware of the situation did he stuff it down his pants. Coach knew imo, he's on damage limitation, they all are.

I agree with you. I'm proud to play for a team where everyone plays within the spirit of the game - we aren't great - we try our best to be competitive but ultimately play for enjoyment of the game and the odd 'day in the sun' when we win a cup or promotion. What we do regularly win is our local association's 'Fair Play' award at the end of the season. We always walk when we nick it (some even walk for LBW!) - being recognised by your peers for your sportsmanship is a great honour. I once walked when I gloved one down leg side - only myself and their keeper knew - but I know I did the right thing (and he bought me a pint afterwards as a thank you). It can totally ruin your weekend when you're fielding and you know (and they know) someone is out but they refuse to go - we're there for fun, not money.

This. Any sport played should be played hard - but fair. if you have to cheat to win then its hollow imo.

He claims he was asking wtf was going on when he was on the walkie talkie.

Of course he did

 

[brandon]

Shelagh Fogarty on LBC covering this now, on the element of cheating and whether the ban should be a life ban etc. Some absolute whoppers ringing in and what's worse is that Fogarty herself clearly isn't qualified enough to talk about it.

Cringeworthy stuff.

 

[palm 1]

Smith’s press conference was beyond cringeworthy. The pretend tears put Mick Phillpott to shame.

The worst shame here is not that they got caught cheating, but the fact that the so called Aussie Alpha males are really a set of crying little girls.

Man up you soft shites.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I derive absolutely no pleasure from this photo at all. Whilst I have absolutely no sympathy with Warner, and whilst I, personally, feel the punishments were a necessary evil for the sake of a deterrent, as a human being I do feel for Smith and Bancroft, and hope they get looked after properly for the next twelve months.
