Zatman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 World Cup qualifying in Zimbabwe has been a farce. Scotland were robbed and development of game has been ruined by lack of qualifying spots Just hope Ireland grab last spot tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Waiting for Michael Vaughan to take over the team and sort it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hmm; well it seems something is not right ..... but not sure about Michael Vaughan. Having just finished Jonathon Trott's book, he was quite unsympathetic to Trott , if I understood it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 They should just cancel all overseas test tours. Its just a well paid jolly for the players now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I see that the Australians have admitted to ball-tampering in the test against SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted March 24, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2018 The abrasive Aussie team would surely do no such thing - actually scratch that and reverse it, it seams they're not being picked on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 How stupid have you got to be to cheat like that in international sport with the worlds cameras looking on? Actually, thinking about it for a moment, does this happen frequently and this is the first time they’ve been caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Well of course England have previous for this sort of thing don't they ? Atherton and the dirt in his pocket. He seemed to have come away unscathed and still commentates on Sky. As he comes from Lancashire, I'd have had him executed !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's all gone crazy here, loving it! Cheating tossers. Those involved deserve a lengthy ban - Lehman, Smith, Warner & Bancroft definitely involved, and by the sounds of it a few others. Smith giving the impression that it's no big deal, but he's just ruined his reputation forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2018 It just beggars belief that they thought they could get away with it. There are over 30 camera's covering test matches apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 fair play to the Aussies though they arent taking any shit about this and dont seem to let them get away with this. I dont think other countries would have been so strict. Bancroft I imagine was pressured into doing it as he is just a rookie. The rest should be ashamed I imagine couple match bans for the players, sacking of Lehmann will be fair outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 as for England, as classy a player that he can be, Joe Root doesnt ever seem like the type of player to grind you out a dirty game saving innings. I also believe its 7 tests in a row without taking 20 wickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehman, Smith & Warner clearly knew all about it, and should all be sacked, but I suspect a ban for the next test will be the limit. One or two other senior players apparently livid that this happened and will now be a stain on their own reputations. I think the dressing room moral has been totally destroyed. Not Smith's first offence either - his looking up to the dressing rooms for tips on calling reviews in the last India series now look like the actions of a man perfectly happy to cheat any time if the opportunity arises. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
