Read an article in the BBC's sports news, about Justin Langer bemoaning the fact the crowd were 'booing' Steve Smith and David Warner (The ball tampering duo) during a World Cup warm-up match.
So, they've served a 12 month ban (and Langer seems to think that all is now ok) and was somewhat surprised at the booing, stating:
"After the experience of Hampshire, we have a pretty good idea what to expect - we've talked about it a lot and we can put strategies in place," said Langer.
"That said, when it happens it doesn't make it any easier. They are human beings, that's the truth - and that's what I find the hardest.
"I'm a dad and a lot of the time the kids see it. You feel for them personally and they are going to have to have thick skins.
"But I'd be disappointed by any player being booed at any cricket ground, regardless of what country they play for. It's never a good look when that happens."
I personally feel that they should've had a lifetime ban from International cricket, "after all I'm a dad and a lot of the time the kids see it" And if they're allowed to get away with a one year ban, many kids will see it's ok to cheat and then have "a year off". The voices in the crowd appeared to agree with me and although I don't condone 'booing' in any sport, I feel they have a point.
