Cricket

Annoyed reading their lawyers complaining about trial by social media, yeah we all know how people react and behave but how about getting your own house in order. Of course the reaction will be different but credit to ulster and the irish rugby who are investgating their conduct.

I haven't read that statement (only the What's App messages) but is there a case of thinly veiled victim shaming from the lawyers there.

It's not generating the headlines in the same way as the Australian Cricket team, which is strange. But then again, I suppose the stature and prestige of the Australian cricket team alone was a big factor in this story dominating headlines in recent days.

Yep, they have royally fu**ed over a whole Country.

It' a F***ing disgrace and we are humiliated by it. Gonna take years to get over it.

Trevor Chappell still gets sh*t about that "underarm ball" and it's 37 years since it happened!!!

The blokes human after all suspectable to making mistakes  he fu**ed up he's owned it and been punished for it. Whether the punishment fits the crime is a different matter.

The over reaction to this has been ridiculous from some corners he's been treated like a school shooter. He's a sportsman who bent the rules to win in the heat of the battle not the first and last.

Britain has had a fair share of them too stones glasshouses and all that.

Most of the overreaction has been in Australia to be fair

True we've just been laughing our heads off at it, especially all those weepy faces yesterday

Mind you watching this England batting is pretty laughable at the moment, 95 for 5 at the moment

Let's give Aussie cricket its due, it has dealt with its ball tamperers quicker than the Aussie church did.

That's because we are so gobsmacked by the whole thing. Never thought our Team, in a Billion years, would resort to cheating when we expect our Cricket Team to beat anyone at any time. It's F***ing mind boggling.

As a punishment to you ( just coz your a Aussie ) I'd ban you too. 

On a serious note though. Do you think the punishment suits the crime or have they been a little soft with all them involved. What should you have done?

First off, f**k you, you C**t.....that feels better, haven't said that in a while. 

I'd sack the cu*ts, f**k them, they have disgraced our Country, Vice Captain and Captain shouldn't play for Australia again. Don't care how good they are, we have able replacements knocking the door down to get in that Test side.

As for the young fella, although he's only played 8 Tests, I am sure he's played plenty of First Class cricket before to know what he was doing was wrong. He should have told Warner to go f**k himself, if Warner was the one who told him he has to do it. That he went along with it for the fear of being shamed by his more senior colleagues, he really should have thought about the big picture and what the ramifications of his actions would be.

No sympathy for them at all.

iAN i find it hard to believe that there was only 3 players who were in on the sandpaper trick.Since this was blown wide open it is rumored that Bunnings share prices have hit rock bottom as it was their sandpaper that was used.

I think sometimes that they should turn the batting order upside down, the way our top order perform. It would not make much difference, at least our bowlers would have a bit of a rest, before going out to bowl.

Cook's a real worry now - I know he got that double ton in Melbourne but his innings around that have been absolutely woeful. No one really knocking on the door to take his place though. Number 3 continues to be a worry as well - Vince will never be the solution so it's about time we just give up on him and give someone else a go.

Like the old days on uncovered wickets

You should refrain from using that type of language as some members (( well only one really  )) might be rather perturbed by it. Can you speak the queens language when your addressing me please

They've been absolutely dogshit in the southern hemisphere. Sat watching till about 4 this morning. There's been the odd stand out performance batting wise, Overton in last test, Bairstow today, but on the whole we've been sh*te.

Good innings by bairstow and good support by mark wood, may sneak past 300

Yes, go forth and get fuckedth!
