Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #405 – June 18, 2018, 09:25:11 am Geez Prof - I really hope that it's the case, but don't think it will be.The ICC penalties for ball tampering seem to be about 1 match. Our cricket admin gave the rest of the penalty, partly because of how badly it was all done and handled.This also gave the opportunity to work out how we wanted to play cricket - what is and isn't acceptable behaviour. This will take some time to work out. I am not sure that other countries want to do this.

Now for The year long bans and appropriate action. Time to pad up Sutherland.... Ha, yeah I saw that......interesting the different reactions. Aust - ball wasn't altered enough to be even changed by the umpires & all hell breaks loose, players accept full responsibility & cop their whack.Sri Lanka - ball was altered enough so that it was changed by the umpires & Sri Lankans shut themselves up in the changerooms sooking & refuse to come out & play........Bet you anything that nothing will happen to any of their players.
Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #407 – June 18, 2018, 09:36:30 am I want to see Sutherland grow a pair and issue a statement in the penalties are soft. I thought they ICC and cricket community were serious about stamping out this nonsense.
