Cheating Aussies

Well I’d like to say I’m surprised by the actions of the Aussie cricket team, but I’m actually not really. Sack them all. They need to break up this exclusive boys club they have going on, and it starts with the selectors and coaching staff in my opinion.

Yep see you later Australian cricket. It’s been a fun 49 years for me. Time to watch golf

Anyone found to have knowledge of this who did not voice dissent and/or report them prior to the illegal actions should be fired (loss of contract) from Cricket Australia immediately. If Cricket Australia does not act in this way and in any way attempts to defend, mitigate, or justify their lack of action the Australian Government should step in and sack the board and anyone involved at Cricket Australia.

I have no problem with playing the game within an inch of the rules (pushing the limits of the rules interpretation), but cheating is something I can not accept in any form. Australia has screamed all too often when other teams (England, South Africa, Pakistan, etc.) have been found to have cheated; we must maintain a moral high ground on this sort of thing.

Absolutely agree. I’d rather see a complete clean out, even if it sets us back years. I’d rather lose with dignity than support this bunch of cheating arseholes. They need to be made an example of for the benefit of future sporting generations (the kids coming through). No sympathy for anyone who wasn’t ‘involved’ if they knew what was going on and didn’t speak up.

The same mob of blokes who held CA to ransom about pay deals not too long ago.

by the way Dex, there is a cricket thread in the sports section.

Yeah I forgot about that in my moment of outrage.

Feel free to move/merge.

Tim Paine to step in as acting captain apparently.

Bloody disgraceful. Like Sa in 2016.. caught cheating. On that occasion Faf couldnt keep his Mentos in his pockets...he got punished with a slap on the wrist with a feather duster. His country did fuckall.. ICC need to stand up here and adjust the rules. No fine... no excuses..2 year ban... as far as Warner and Smith are concerned.. same penalty as others convicted by the ICC.. CA to do what ever you must... then ICC TO Stiffen the penalty..

If only the general public gave this much shit about our scumbag politicians and all the shit they constantly get away with.
