Cricket Season Thread

Ball tampering is like salary cap cheating, every team is guilty of it, it’s just some are better than others. The Aussies stuffed up but the penalty the three players copped was over the top. The public humiliation should have been enough with a hefty fine.

Anyway now is a time to saviour a ashes winning performance once again
 
Dave went on tilt. You gotta expect a few digs if you’re gunna marry someone whose claim to fame is having a root in a toilet with an athlete twice the size of you. I’m guessing everything of SBW is twice the size of Davey, and I’m pretty sure the Saffers were asking that very question. Dave went on tilt while representing Oz, on national tv, bringing the game, team, country, captain and his younger opening partner, into his inability to keep his emotions and mental weakness in check. It took a while for me to forgive Dave, and Smith. But the punishment handed out was a bit OTT, but it was as heavy as it should have been the very first time someone did it and maybe no one does it again. Ruined a young blokes career, there is no punishment worse for a young cricket player.
I do find Jedi’s hate red for Smith illogical due to the above and by that standard anyone who cheats anywhere at anything he should hold to the same standard. I heard when Stokes went on a scooter they didn’t wear helmets, that is cheating the system, so he should hate England and everyone who has ever played for them.
I have read many things on ball tampering, everyone does it but no one admits to it, and if you haven’t then you haven’t played.
you take it in the right manner BF
Steve takes it all too damn serious lol
c'arn the poms in the fourth test
tempted to have a crack again with no Lyon or Cummins they would need to be close to $4 though

Yeah I was thinking about taking the Poms depending on teams. But we have already fielded a reserve grade side and still won by 8 wickets, soooo. I might not too.

Of course I do I’m a Buttface, and can smell another one a mile off. I smell you, you got plenty of cheek.
 
I was watching Mitchell Johnson’s 3 wicket over against the poms and notice how handy Hot Spot was for the first wicket.

Yep it's a shame it's not there anymore, but apparently the technology was too expensive. $50K per test match or something like that. The snicko technology is supposed to be almost as effective at getting the correct decision even without hot spot assisting it, so that's good enough.

Correct decision?
When ever someone says to me it’s “good enough” I know it’s shite.
We’ve seen in this last test that snicko is prone to human error, that makes it always have an element of doubt, hot spot doesn’t need to be calibrated.

Nice of you to worry about the financial well being of the ICC.
They made $904 million in 2023. I reckon they can afford the stingey barstards
 
Australia's Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon will miss the rest of the Ashes series, starting with the Boxing Day Test
❌

Cummins is being rested following his return from a back injury, while Lyon has had surgery on his hamstring injury.
