This instance of ball tampering was different, it involved acquiring sandpaper, planning and getting the most junior player in the team to tamper the ball and then lying to the umpires on the field and public in the press conference. There was also need for change with abusive culture. Hence the long bans.
Yes spectators and broadcasters deserve the best side available but we also want an honest side that doesn’t cheat and isn’t viewed by the cricketing world as abusive.
Time for Cricket Australia to end the Smith, Warner and Bancroft bans
How can the Marsh’s keep their spot when the selectors have so many better options. Renshaw, Maxwell, Handscomb, Pucovski and Stoinis just to name a few.
The Liebke Ratings: Pakistan vs Australia, second Test
I still can’t seem to find where I said it wasn’t a good performance with the bat. Not sure what you are on about champ.
Enjoy a draw Australia, this game has a different smell to it
I don’t remember suggesting that it wasn’t a good performance with the bat in the fourth innings, maybe specsavers can help you out.

Aus reached 370 without getting bowled out in the 4th innings. That was surely a road.

Your eyes must be painted on.

So as soon as kookaburra’s are used their all suddenly going to average above 45???
2018-19 cricket season: Fearless predictions
Really? Barely anyone averaged above 45 in shield cricket last year. That shows a shortage in test quality bats.

I am saying that they are short of talent with the bat. There is not enough test quality batsmen in Australia. I’m sure India have many more batsmen in the top 20 that Australia have available.

People want to read what they watch 25,000+ people go to the BBL week in and out whereas less than 100 people are at a shield game. Many people (not me) don’t care who wins in shield & jlt cup. I don’t watch enough women’s cricket to make a judgement on competitions so you have a point there.

Edward’s fielding can definitely improve but there’s no doubt about hi enormous potential with the bat.
BBL is by far the most popular.

Hey mate, the wickets in England and Australia differ significantly, Aus wickets are much more dry which is more suited to India. I disagree with M Marsh being compared to Stokes, Stokes bats and bowls much better than Marsh. Last time Aus beat India l, they had Warner, Smith, Clarke and Rogers in their batting. Their current lineup isn’t a patch on those.

It was only a month ago he was on a podcast swearing about journalists.
Josh, you want a fair go? Start by saying sorry
Who does he think he is? When you sign something you commit yourself, you don’t sign and then think about whether you should honour it or not. Disgraceful how casual he is about walking out of a contact.
Peachey may back flip on Gold Coast deal, Titans stand firm
I never understand why the selectors always go with Head over Maxwell. Head isn’t half as good as Maxwell with the bat, ball and fielding.
Glenn Maxwell betrayed by mixed messages
Good selection, will bring experience to the bowling attack.
Peter Siddle, the perennial understudy, thrown the ball again
Can’t believe they’d pick Finch as an opener in tests despite the fact that he doesn’t open for his state.
Bolters aplenty as Australia names weakest Test squad in recent memory for tour of UAE vs Pakistan
Since when did they start picking specialist fielders, Labuschagne – average around 35 in first class cricket.

The big question for Mary is whether he will bring in Euan Aitken at the expense of Zac Lomax.

He surely can’t win in the judiciary.

Good side, Cam Mcinnes probably deserves a mention also.
NRL team of the week: Finals Week 1
Hey Kopa, I think Patterson and Stoinis are very good players however, they haven’t been consistent enough with the bat in shield cricket to get a run in test cricket.
Burns has experienced test cricket before and I think his average of around 35 this year could have been more if he’d gone on with his 60s and 70s. He has been consistent.
Although Shaun Marsh cops criticism, there is no better alternative to him in Australian cricket at the moment. That’s reality.
It's time for a new Test opener
