Low Down & Dirty Behaviour

[Die Judicii]

With the current flourish on the media concerning the "sandpaper gate" ball tampering, I am disgusted by the fact that the main offenders,
Smith, Warner, and Bancroft are still even allowed to play competitive cricket.

Instead of a 12 month and a 9 month ban they should have been totally banned for life, and stripped completely of any awards, or monetary payment.

The other players that are now being queried on involvement will likely never ever tell the truth anyway, so why waste time on them.

But those that were actually doing the tampering should recieve zero compassion. They knew what they were doing.

I'm not sure who is the lowest of the low,,,,, Them or Paedofiles.

Mate, playing cricket is great fun, but watching it is not my thing. Climate-change activist knobbers.

I want to know, what did I miss? What happened to 2Labs post?
Was I busy and missed something?

what's he got to gain coming out now about this ,book sales ,some under the desk deals ,sound like a grub just trying to cash in on it now that he's retired,

[Fester]

Wasn't Warner still playing? He likely won't be for much longer.

I wonder who came up with the idea and convinced them to do it?

It's not like any other players will talk.

It's a "game" yes,,,,, but nonetheless it has rules

And on the big stage (internationally) which also encompasses big money anyone who feels compelled to cheat are low lifes in my book.

And Pete,,, are you saying that you condone cheating ?

ethics are gone from most sports , it's about money , public image for their career , and keeping bad behaviour out of the media . i'd love to be a lawyer for a football club , i'd make a fortune
i do feel sorry for sports figures though , as some would be constantly stalked by media and photographers , looking to get that big paying scoop on them doing the wrong thing . the pressure of that would impact their lives and their families . but your right DJ , it's the lack of principles and the morales from our top sportsman that are a disappointment. but are they being pressured into a "win at all costs" mentality by cricket australia management ? quite probably if you don't comply with this view you'd get pushed aside in the team .

I'm saying comparing ball tampering to paedophilia is f***ing ridiculous. One is cheating in a game and the other ruins people lives at a time when they're most vulnerable. Its a stupid,ridiculous comparison.
