Ball tampering "Down Under"

The usual grounds with anything that is negative

So no grounds then, just a figment of your imagination

Don't think so...What a Strange thing to say  There is absolutely no evidence to support this.  

A strange post  England winning the ashes is just living in cloud cuckoo land..

Why do you think teams that get caught red handed are unfortunate? Sounds as though you condone such activities.

As said previously Ball Tampering has been prevalent over many years.  England has been in the forefront of this cheating such as the case of Atherton in 1994

England captain Mike Atherton was in the crosshairs in 1994 when he was accused of ball-tampering during the Lord's Test against South Africa.      --- After TV pictures appeared to show him applying dirt to the ball,  Atherton insisted he had only "put some dust in my   pocket from a used pitch... to keep my hands and the ball dry". --- "Aye Right"  --- His defence was that, in trying to keep the moisture off the ball, he was therefore seeking to maintain its condition, rather than alter it.  There are varying accounts of exactly what Atherton told match referee Peter Burge, who chose a fine rather than a ban

Punishment: Atherton fined £2,000. 

So the cheats have changed the character of cricket - It happens and some are unfortunate and get caught but many others get away with it.  The rules should be applied equally across the cricketing world.

Just change the rules to allow everyone to do it.

As with most peoples take on things

Back  to  the  Point

  Apparently  Captain,  Vice  Captain  &  a  team  member  have  been  ordered  back  home,  Pronto,  but  not  so  fast  that  the  Gallows  won't  be  ready  on  the  tarmac  !
