Lukedfrt 91 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I wonder how long it's been going on for? Be interesting to see what happens with regards to punishment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hughesy 254 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 They obviously did it during the Ashes, we definitely didn’t lose because our team was rubbish, definitely not.... :joy: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phil83 43 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Fair play on Cricket Australia for dealing with the problem so quickly and harshly. Banning your own player, one of the best current batsman in the world, is a strong statement and tells everyone else it's not going to be tolerated. I feel a bit for Bancroft in this. A young player, starting his international career, has been encouraged by the senior leaders in the team to cheat and now has to pay the penalty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onetwothree 0 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Watching Smith and Bancroft's pressers tonight broke my heart. Made me realise that we put our sports stars on a pedestal and sometimes we forget they're human too. I'm still furious that it happened at all, but I can see that they're genuinely hurting and want to make things right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree 100%Fair play to them for being so open about it, it was genuinely horrible to see Smith breakdown like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that the forums are pretty much dead these days so I only check in once or twice a month.There's rumours flying around down here that Smith had no idea about the sandpaper, and now is just falling on ones sword. I don't know, it's just a major **** up which is gonna **** with our team for the next year. 2018-19 Summer of cricket is looking pretty scary right now. I've always preferred the Big Bash anyway...

Lukedfrt 91 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The one day series has come to an end, 6-0.. Oh my days!! :dizzy: This has to be the best one day side in history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KittyFit90 335 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Love watching the poms lose, even if it is to India.My CA membership email list has gone active this week, informing me today that its 16 days till the season starts. Have to decide now if I'm too out shape to play or not this season, too many days sitting in the lab eating cupcakes this winter. I don't know if my local D grade side needs that tiny girl who bowls right arm slow and bats 11 and is scared of the ball hitting her so has to field at third man but can't throw that far so needs a relay every single time...or not this year.

Lukedfrt 91 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Our openers are a waste of time, Cook is in the worst form possible, Jennings should never have been picked, Root is having a poor summer.. the only thing that's saved us from total humiliation is the middle order :disappointed: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onetwothree 0 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yeah but is your best batsman and second best batsman but a bit of a tart out for the summer? Well at least I have the Big Bash to look forward to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

couger1981 92 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I see Smith is playing for Australia A in England next year, it should be a good warm up for him before the Ashes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll flog us, we have 1 good batsmen in this country in Steve Smith. Whilst his ban expires in time and he can play the ashes he won't have played long form cricket for a year and a half! I just hope some of our other guys can get some runs in UAE against Pakistan but not holding my breath...Things are going much better in the women's team these days :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
