On the Current Crisis in Australian Cricket

[danieldwilliam]

I am pretty upset about the Australian cricket team cheating.

I think it's fair to say that the team has been cheating given that the Captain, and Vice Captain were involved.

I hope that the Australian cricket organisation comes down hard on Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft. I'm not sure any of them should be playing cricket again. For anyone.

I'm tempted to say we should give the entire rest of the team a year long ban and sack the coaching staff. If the culture that they operate in makes their captain think that tampering with the ball is an acceptable thing to do then I don't think I want them near my cricket team.

Haha - given what you normally call your son on these pages, your second sentence there read quite confusingly for a moment! Unless that is he has a secret second life none of us know about...

Aha, I see that. I'm confident he has at least one secret second life that none of us know about but I'm pretty sure being Steve Smith isn't one of them.

I have been thinking of you as I’ve been reading about this.

i've been trying not to think too much about it until the initial disciplinary hearing was finished.

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.
