[Cricket] Aussie Cheats!

Billy the Fish · Mar 25, 2018

So there's a video of Bancroft putting sugar in his pocket during the Ashes and England players have said they were suspicious at the time of how the Aussies were able to get the ball to reverse.

It seems like systematic premeditated cheating. There's a real nasty steak about this group and it stems from Lehman, Warner and Smith. The comments made about Bairstows dad is another indicator of how vile they are, they deserve every bit of stick that's heading their way.

There is a reason that this nation was born being a large prison for convicts. Its obviously in their genes.

I got caught cheating, but I promise I haven't done it before and promise I won't do it again, so we're all good, right?

It's a tricky one. I'm struggling, as a former bowler, to get with the faux outrage on this one.

Trying to alter the condition of the ball to gain an advantage is as old as the game itself. Raising the seam, vaseline on the eyebrow. If the names of every bowler that had done such things magically appeared it would take a long time to read.

It's outlawed because it's very tempting- even a sub conscious act.

Aussie cheats, well, then the whole cricketing world is full of cheats- probably including a few big old English names. It's a fine, it's a ban- but it's nothing new.

They don’t wear yellow for nothing

Very apt. After the infamous Under Arm bowling incident the NZ Prime Minister Robert Mulldoon said "It was appropriate that the Australians were wearing Yellow"

This comment followed on from another comment of his some years earlier which said "When people leave here (NZ) to live in Australia, it raises the average IQ of both countries".

Ok so bowlers may have a little fiddle with the seam or wipe a bit of vaseline from their brow onto the ball from time to time but shirley the point in this situation is that it appears to have been a pre-meditated, planned act on the part of the"Management Group" who then picked the rookie in the side to do their dirty work and still appear to be trying to understand the seriousness of their predicament. Steve Smith clearly doesn't fathom it because as far as he's concerned he'll still be the captain at the next test! As I've said elsewhere, if they had been Pakistani players they'd probably have been banged up and banned from playing for 3 years!!

I think it's more that it's the holier than thou, serial sledging, pushing it to the edge, can't take what they dish out, nasty bunch of arsegobbling twatmonkeys who have been caught out cheating.

Yes every team uses techniques to try to make the ball reverse, but for the self appointed "we don't do anything wrong" victims to do something so totally blatant and to admit (as they had to because it was bloody obvious) that it was completely premeditated. Well that's something a bit different isn't it.

Cheating is cheating- although the use of implements and orchestrated policy does take it to a new level. I agree. Three year ban ? No, I don't support that. Hefty fine, yes. Maybe a series ban.

The only difference between Smith et al and scores of others over the years is that they got caught. Curse those cameras.

Listening to pious mouth farting from ex-cricketers on this one is nauseous. Still, this sort of thing has never tainted Sussex. I'm sure Mr Khan was only using that bottle top as a bowling marker really.....

Sure it is, but that doesn't make cheating ok. One of the things that makes it worse than usual in this instance is the fact that a significant number of the team were involved, including the captain. And Bancroft was fine with cheating, but he was nervous about the number of cameras at the ground.

As someone with no interest in cricket but an interest in taking the piss out of Aussie mates, can anyone quickly let me know if this cheating story is a big deal or not. Fanks.

Nobody I know does.

Hopefully they just ban this garbage sport nation wide and extend the AFL seasons.

I'm getting serious deja vu here. Didn't TB try and convince NSC once before that Australian's don't care about cricket.

Who to believe?

Meltdown is accurate, Cricket still very much in the national psyche. especially at the moment as the local cricket grand finals were played over the weekend.

Lots of glum faces at work today, me at the other pom didn't even need to say anything to wind up the locals....... Bliss
