Cricket Banter

that's my thinking

Fucking love this headline !!!!

Steve Smith's been suspended by the Australian Cricket Board

for one match I believe

seems Lehman was apparently "unware" of what was planned. Get the feeling the Aussies did it just to counter the SA crowd giving them abuse

This is the same Darrell Lehmann who encouraged the Aussie crowds to really get stuck into Stuart Broad for not walking when he was caught behind. Ever since Broad has been routinely booed and abused by Aussie crowds.

Now Lehmann is moaning because South African crowds are abusing the thuggish Warner for an incident with Quinton de Kock in the players' tunnel.

Hypocrisy! Hubris! Seems that the Oz team are studying the international diplomacy tactics of the Kremlin. Behave outrageously while condemning your opponents for vastly blown up minor incidents. (see Bairstow's headbuttgate and Pint over Andersongate) Claim that the Oz team have a line in the sand beyond which they will not transgess, whilst stepping over it at every opportunity.

Hopefully they will sack the entire team and the management and then we might have an outside chance of beating them!

The guys who run 'Cricket Australia' have arrived in South Africa to find out what has been happening.
Steve Smith, David Warner and manager look like they will taking the brunt of all critism.
But the guy with the big pockets, Cameron Bancroft, doesn't even get mentioned. Even when it looks like he was doing a simular cheat against England with sugar.

Looks like Warner may be in trouble with his teammates as well. It’s being reported he’s told the investigators that the whole team knew about it and that his teammates are not talking to him. He’s no longer in their private Whatsapp group it seems. Well he’s a nasty sod so I bet when he looks for friends he won’t find many.

David "Billy N Mates" Warner?

James Sutherland CA supremo is to give press conference shortly

Australia's CEO, James Sutherland, outlined sanctions in the wake of the country's cricket team tampering with the ball against South Africa. "Three players, including Steve Smith, will be sent home from the tour, but coach Darren Lehmann will stay in his job".
