3rd Test: South Africa v Australia at Newlands, Capetown, March 22-26, 2018

[Mr Spock!]

Yes?

I think you're underestimating what's happening here.

No.

I'm applying logic through all the hysteria....

 

[Fangs]

That would be great show of leadership if CA made a statement - Australia certainly has often at all levels claimed some sort of moral leadership in cricket (the rest of us find it laughable) - nonetheless, real chance to show something real rather than endless sound grabs

Agreed. We are meant to uphold different standards and it's really the only response.

 

[Timbo]

No.

I'm applying logic through all the hysteria....

No, you're saying because other countries have cheated we should too.

 

[Fangs]

No.

I'm applying logic through all the hysteria....

Lets see if your logic is congruent with the actions of our CEO. Tune in.

 

[Fangs]

As has been mentioned already Tim Paine looks like the logical candidate for captain.

Lol...he won't even be in the team next series.

I do find it extraordinary that Smith admits it was himself who led the on field cheating. And then says he thinks he’s the man for the job and shouldn’t lose his job because of it.

Amazing naivety.

I seriously doubt Sutherland has the balls to push for a leadership change. He shies away from confrontation and leaves everything to Lehmann who is always backing the overly aggressive pushing of the line. There’s no doubt in my mind the Australian team believe wholeheartedly that their attitudes are ok, I mean listen to how they defend sledging as being the Australian way even if opposition players take personal offence to it.

A culture of pushing so hard even if it comes in the way of disregarding sportsmanship is inherent in this team and has been for some time.

 

[hineyrulz]

LOL Sutherland what a gutless wimp.

Needs to dye his hair grey put in a pair of crappy glasses and it's Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave Gallop.

 

[_snafu_]

Disgraceful conduct. Smith should resign.

I agree.

I've always hated sledging tbh - I know it's part of cricket, but let your bowling/batting do the talking.

The Australian cricket team is truly the epitome of arrogance.

 

[hineyrulz]

LOL this bloke is as Gutless as the Parramatta pack, he admitted he cheated but he needs some facts LOLOLOLOL!!!

This bloke should be working at a f**king Aldi seriously.

 

[hineyrulz]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaave Sutherland.

 

[Timbo]

Pathetic from Sutherland.

He's admitted it you gutless coward. If you're really about protecting the integrity of the Australian team, show some f**king leadership

 

[Mr Spock!]

No, you're saying because other countries have cheated we should too.

Lol....no captain has lost their position over ball tampering.....

It didn't hinder Faf.

Seems there are double standards.

But there will be an investigation from CA.

 

[hineyrulz]

Sutherland hasn't even spoken to Smith, what an embarrassment this bloke is.

He shouldn't be running a lemonade stall.

 

[Fangs]

Lol...he won't even be in the team next series.

That's why we are in serious trouble.

 

[Timbo]

'Timezone differences'

It's called a telephone dickhead, get Smith out of bed if you have to.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Yes he didn't sack them on the spot. You win 1 point.

I still think all 3 will go.

Highly doubtful when they fine people for ball tampering in a Shield Final.

 

[Sphagnum]

This merkin is a fkn knob. Seen more honesty and accountability in a Ricky stuart presser.

 

[hineyrulz]

The Fish rots from the head up, no wonder cricket is in trouble in this country with this spineless worm.


Poor merkin needs some facts. LOL they admitted to it you dopey Victorian cretin.
