    It was Eddo Brandes( Zimbabwe) he was a fat ****er mind but what did McGrsth expect.

    The other occasion he asked Sarwan what Brian Lara’s cock tasted like.

    His answer;

    I don’t know, why don’t you ask your wife?

    <laugh>

    Again, what did he expect?

    That post makes no sense? You are disputing I play cricket? Or disputing the fact I have had worse things said to me? Neither of which I have anything to gain from doing. I'll send you a link to the steam next time I play to cheer you up.

    I have even said worse things than what I imagine was said to Warner. I make no apology for it.

    I always try to listen to Gary Richardson's sports program at 9am on a Sunday morning. He is a very good presenter and interviewer, and always a good listen about various sports.

    He had Kim Hughes on the telephone from Australia asking him what he thought of the whole episode, and on the whole was against it, but said that the Aussies and their wife's had taken some stick and that might be a reason why they reacted in this way. Anyhow, he was rambling on a bit, and Garg R, politely said sorry to stop you Kim, but we are running out of time, and Hughes got tight shirty, and just said well if you are not interested to hear what I say and he put the phone down.

    Gary R said that is the first time in 45 years of doing this job that anyone has put the phone down on me, but maybe that tells you a lot about the Aussies attitude.

    Got a feeling that CA will bottle out on this, their administrators are reportedly( aussie press) very weak kneed, Smith, Warner and Bancroft will cop a six month test ban from them, Australian dont have another test till October 2018.

    I got confused which thread I was on then and thought you were talking about Lambo.

    Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft all sent home in disgrace, Lehmann somehow manages to keep his job.

    I really don't know how he has kept his job. He is either in on it, or he is incompetent that he isn't aware of what is going on in his dressing room.

    At least the Aussies seems to be taking it seriously.

    It sums Smith up, odious ****, As the captain you are accountable for such pre meditated actions, you take it on the chin not 'blame the leadership group'. Unless he meant Lehman and if so, has been hung out to dry.

    Sledging has now got ugly under Smith. They even had meetings to prepare specific 'mental disintegration' for individual players, which some suggest included goading Johnny Bairstow about his dad committing suicide. I like to see competitive sport played hard but if true, England management should have just taken them off the field.

    In a recent test where the Aussies were absolutely battering NZ Brad Haddin apparently was going at it big style. Way over the top sledging and it wasn’t even done to gain an advantage.

    He did it because he enjoyed it at it’s what the Aussies do.

    When he was asked why he did it he said it was because he was sick on the New Zealanders being nice.

    Work that one out!!!

    Ridiculous to fly over the ethics committee to see that disgraceful sham unfold
    Treating the public like imbeciles
    No way in this world that any test class bowler wouldn’t know when a ball is being tampered with,especially on a green top where a ball just wouldn’t be reversing after 20 odd overs
    Lehman must have instructed the 12th man onto the field to take the offending sandpaper from Bankroft,the other 2 were already on the field

    The impotent ICC will let them get away with this when an independent inquiry should have been called immediately rather than allow the Aussies to cover up the extent of what went on

    It’s Mitchell Starc I feel sorry for because according to @CricketAus it was only 3 batsmen who knew about the ball tampering designed to help the bowling attack. Poor ****er has genuinely believed he’s Wasim Akram all this time........

    Steve Smith and David Warner have been banned by the Indian Premier League over their recent ball-tampering.

    They actually admitted Warner told them to use sandpaper. There’s a picture of Warner with sandpaper when he was at a game in Kent. I bet he had sandpaper on that extra strapping he had.

    They have lied numerous times they said it was yellow tape to pick up dirt off the pitch. That’s a lie.

    Deserve all they get all of them.
