Agreed. Though Smith needs a life ban now.Originally Posted by Luis Anaconda
When I heard Eng fans moaning, after SS was caught in SA, that he must have been cheating during the previous Ashes, too, I thought it was sour grapes. I hadn't watched anything like enough of the series to know if they were always getting reverse where we found none.
But now, I'm not so sure. Despire having the best average since Bradman, winning a CWC and Ashes home and away, he still feels the need to cheat his team to victory, despite him having played 2 great innings with the bat.
He's a compulsive cheat and I don't see why players from civilised countries - i.e. anyone but Aus, even Pak - should have to waste mental effort keeping an eye on him to make sure he isn't plugging in a belt sander down at deep square leg.
Excellent performance from my boys. Didn't have much hope after they lost the 2nd wicket the night before, then the skipper early. But an excellent performance on Dravid's birthday.
But Smith needs to be banned. If not, the CA are telling their yoof "The crocodile tears in SA were just a performance. If you kids dream of a baggy green, then learn to cheat."
Aussies are lovely people but as soon as you put them in their cricket team, they become utter scum. All of them.
