    True, the men of old wouldn't cry like a soft pair of twats.
    Teams have been tampering with the ball since day dot, England, India, Pakistans, Aussies, Kiwis, they all do it.
    Our guys were stupid enough to own up, which no one normally does.
    If you deny, its not confirmed.
    The innuendo eventually dies down and they move on.
    The soft cricketers of today are exactly that.
    Bradman, Jardine, Marsh & Greig would be turning in their graves.
    Stop preaching about global warming, harden up and play mens cricket, not croquet with a skirt in tow..

    I’d say the twenty television cameras that caught them cheating had more to do with it than your guys “owning up”

    Went to bed at lunch when England were 54/2 , thinking that they would have parity by close of play...... how wrong can you be? Awful batting performance.....
