Ball tampering. FMD.

Disgraceful!

 

[Gronk]

Disgraceful!

Will be interesting to see what the ACB do with this. Do you strip GOAT Smith of the captaincy ? Sack the leadership group ? Wow.

 

[strider]

Wow. ... Dirty rotten cheats

How dumb .... there are a million cameras these days

Yeah he’s got to go. He admitted to basically planning in advance to cheating. For me that’s on the same level as match fixing. Just disgraceful. Aussie Captain was in on it and planned it. FMD.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Anyone involved is gone. That's it. no alternatives.

 

[Happy MEel]

That’s the most shameful thing I’ve seen by one of our national sporting sides. Everyone involved needs to have their contracts ripped up.

Smith just wrecked is legacy. And the arrogance to sit there and say he won’t stand down and name the other players that conspired with him to just shows that he is not remorseful at all. He thinks this is a small issue and won’t go away. He’s wrong. This is Disgraceful and embarrassing.

Well, Smith shouldn't stay on as captain.

Yeah I think it’s indefensible. Premeditated cheating in a sport that prides itself as the gentleman’s game.

Historically punishments have been pretty piss weak really and nearly every player caught has denied the charge.

Actually, we have a captain of great integrity who is bit sub-par as an NRL frontrower. We could swap him for Hazlewood and feed him up for a season.

O/T, but I thought Mannah was very good last night.

And Smith should be sacked imo.

Smith definitely should stand down. What happens to the 'others' really depends on exactly what was said. If they said 'Hey, lets get some tape and dirt and rough the ball up', well that's trouble. If they were sitting round talking about the general need to 'push the boundaries of the law' in an effort to age the ball then that's not good, but not in the same league as orchestrating a direct plan involving tape and dirt.

Well the presser told the story. The leadership group discussed it and endorsed it.

 

[Jake the snake]

Can you imagine any previous Aussie Captain planning to cheat and then implementing the task? He’s got to go and and anyone else involved. f**king cheats.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Where abouts in the presser do they describe exactly what it was that they endorsed? It's like there's two conversations going on, possibly aimed at covering someone else's arse.

Yeah they describe everything and own up to it. You could not make this shit up. Sorry I don’t have the link for the presser

Smith should be stripped of the captaincy and that fat myth Lehman should be on his bike. Warner also should be stripped of the Vice Captaincy. There is no coming back from something from this.

 

[Avenger]

I know why I now hate cricket. This f**ked up generarion has destroyed it for me. Old school died with Steve Waugh.

 

[hineyrulz]

Teflon Lehman not involved but he was the one who told Handscum to go out there and get Bancroft to hide the tape lol.

Bloke is the biggest myth in Australian cricket. He's still living off flogging the shitty poms twice.

 

[TheParraboy]

Wonder if Smith had a dig at SA whilst confessing?

He basically said the ball was reversing all game but not when they were bowling. Interesting comment. Are we that crap and they just to good in the bowling stakes?

No excuses though we should never ever gone down that path regardless what we think (or know) the opposition are doing
