Aussies caught cheating on camera

defies all logic as to why the need to cheat ,you are only cheating yourselves if you win by cheating ,can anyone actually live with knowing they won a game of any description by cheating ,surely they would be wondering if they could ave won without ,but they will never know .the captain should be held responsible for his team and that means he should hauled over the coals as well as the team as a whole. CHEATS NEVER PROSPER and in a game supposedely played by gentlemen this is a bloody outrageous thing to do.
it looks like the convicts are living up to their forefathers names.
 
just watching Smith lie and half truth his way through interview, ICC should be throwing the book at them

claims a leadership group knew about it but wont name whos in it, claims Lehman not involved (apart from the walkie talkie you mean lol), claims its the first time its happened (isnt it alway the first time when youre caught)

Bancroft been charged with ball tampering, lets see what follows
 
I feel for young kid Bancroft as he will be the fall guy.. surely not his decision but following orders.
ICC is soft on the Aussies, remind me how many Pakistanis lost their careers due to tampering while Smith will be docked a match fee

ICC should annul the outcome and hand the match or series to the Saffies. Go ahead and hand the Ashes to us. Put an ex-Pakistani player as the head of committe to look into this. Will scare Lehman and his cronies ..
 
How funny is it that he tried to hide the tape down his trousers, as though none of the camera's would pick it up. They did in fact pick it up perfectly.

Couldn't happen to a nicer team.
 
Its blatent cheating and should be treated severely - got to be bans for “Leadership” group and it seems Bancroft is the fall guy.

I wish I could agree Norrin but they are NOT " only cheating themselves" they are blatantly cheating their opponents and that is unforgivable. It's often said in golf, I know a guy who's won loads of comps, name plastered on the winners boards and absolutely is a cheat - has he just cheated himself? No chance, he's cheated everyone in the Club. I do however, understand your post and how you mean it.

Like chrisd said, I understand the sentiment of your post but they do prosper, in all sports and in all walks of life. Unfortunately, it's only the cheats that get caught - and where there is an effective punishment handed out - that suffer.

I know of many cheats that really couldn't care less.

amazing how many cheats when they get caught state its the first time theyve ever done it, bit like the aussies today lol
 
Not clever but they fessed up and will no doubt take their punishment. Which is more than Atherton did I seem to remember.
 
If the entire "Leadership Group" don't get lengthy bans then cricket will be a laughing stock...
They have admitted premeditated cheating.
Drug cheats get banned for a year or two..this isn't the same but is broadly similar..
Footballers get off lightly with a couple of games ban but they virtually get away with murder most weeks.
Ban them all for a year.
 
Cheating scumbags. After them whingeing about being on the receiving end of a bit of sledging (boo boo, we can dish it out but we can’t take it when the tables are turned), this is just the latest in a long line of incidents where the Aussies have made themselves look bloody stupid. It’s no wonder they’re the most despised international cricket team. Cricket Australia will probably do the sum total of sod all about it, so here’s hoping the ICC will.
 
Steve Smith & Warner resign but continue to play. Looks like the Aussie Govt wanted Smiths head.

If you believe Smith’s interview, they felt it was an important match so as a ‘leadership group’ they felt they should use all means possible. This begs he question that did they consider the Ashes important enough to cheat too.

Looking at the Indian media, now the noise is to ban them from the lucrative IPL next month. Hurting them where it hurts.

Haven't seen response, but did he blame the Kiwi's ?:)

Pretty undignified response! Not the sort I'd have expected from you! Especially given the serious nature of the incident!

On a more light-hearted note... Following England in NZ? 7 Wickets left to save 1st Test! It's normally the Kiwis that are specialists in the dreaded 'Bang Claps'!
