ACA want to bring back the ball tamperers.

They have suffered enough, they have suffered financially along with the humiliation of the media and public, they say.
They can bugger off, these rich bubble boys bought OZ and the game down, blatantly walking out with sandpaper thinking they do anything they like is unreal. If they want to play they can play for charity, I bet the three would run a mile.

At first I was against the ban because other player had been caught ball tampering in the past and received a match ban at most which is what the three Aussies were given by the ICC....The ACB decided to take additional action and banned the players for a year (9 months for Bancroft)....In retrospect and after hearing the outcomes of the inquiry into Cricket Australia I fully support the ban and welcome the change of culture!!!

Yes, well Aussie cricket does not exactly have the best reputation, I still remember that disgusting underarm bowling incident against NZ.

Yes, it was technically within the rules ... BUT ... it was a disgraceful thing to do.

As for the sandpaper incident?

Shockingly bad ... those guys have no sense of reality.

AND .. so overpaid ... I read that Smith is worth $27 Million or something like that?.

WTF?  Shocked

It would be a big mistake to bring these three back even for the Sheffield shield let alone to the Australian side for this summer, the sporting public have long memories and this is still raw, nobody will ever forget the underarm and probably not the sandpaper, I won't, sport at this level is about money and public support, they blew it big time, there goes that 10th property and the 60ft yacht they wanted.

when you water down the sentence you water down the crime...

they were PLAYING for their Country   there are no excuses.....then nor now.....

if we cant stick with the ban  why bother in the first place.... everyone who gets a ban in the future  would expect it to be down graded... and the way cricket is going its lost so much respect.

cheating doesnt make you a winner..

shame on our boys....

They may as well bring them back. No one is going to see the cricket anyway. At least if you are not a foxtel subscriber.
