    That was a collapse England would have been proud of as we were always the experts in that sort of thing. Should be able to bat Sri Lanka out of the game now...

    It’s 2019 now but India on course to beat the Aussies in Oz, with a mere 622-7 first innings total in Sydney.

    Nice to see home team advantage challenged.

    The Aussies are a shadow of their great sides now, India now No.1 in World rankings. Aussies 5th and falling. Bangladesh, for so long the whipping boys now 1 point away from overtaking the Windies...

    Smith & Warner back shortly and rightly so.
    They got screwed over while many big names over the past decade have repeatedly done the same.

    Their biggest problem was being too stupid & honest, not to mention, sold out by their own righteous board.

    Aussies will come back again.
    Its like a big wheel that turns slowly.

    Bollocks mate.
    Cheating ****ers, especially Warner who seemed to be one of the chief villains.
    They'll get a lovely warm welcome over here.
    Can't wait!!

    Even l don't like Warner but l'm not judging him on being a turd.
    All l'm saying, is there have been players from all nations who have repeatedly done ball tampering..... and not been banned.

    Anybody who follows cricket already knows so l don't need to go there.
    All l'm saying is that they should be all treated equally, which hasn't been the case.

    Without examples they're just accusations and rumours.

    There are loads of examples, from England, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa......most are fined all or part of their match fee, perhaps a short ban. Smith was only banned for one Test match, it was the outcry by Australian cricket fans that led Cricket Australia, not the ICC, to ban these inept cheating ****ers for 9-12 months. Probably not helped by them bawling their eyes out at every opportunity, very un Aussie behaviour. So it’s your own lot who have treated them ‘unfairly’, no one else.

    Please don't be so ignorant or high & mighty .............. I did a five second search and found these,
    Even your own England cricket captain got busted.
    Difference was, our guys owned up, yours didn't.......silly us.
    Smith should of shut up and said nothing, its worked for you guys.

    As l said, all sides have been guilty over time.
    England Captain.......

    Not being high and mighty.
    I thought you were suggesting that it goes on all the time and doesn't get punished. I now realise that you meant they weren't banned.
    As Stan says, it was your own board who banned them.
    Anyway, I think you knew what you were doing coming on here and trying to defend these twats.

    Not looking good for Aussies now needing 187 to avoid follow-on and India needing only a draw to win series. Sympathy will always be in short supply in their case...

    No need to go shooting the messenger col
    Was he trying to defend them or just saying that the Aussie's over punished their own when all other boards would have said unlucky you were caught try harder next time
