SA v Australia

I'm not one to gloat but

It is the holier than thou attitude of the Australians that has blown this issue up, I reckon. The worst for sledging, abusing, bending and pushing rules but the first to complain about it (see Lehmann's comment about the South African crowd) and take the moral high ground (Warner after the Du Plessis incident two years ago).

No team is full of Corinthian players who all play very nicely and respect each other and the laws of the game but don't profess to be bigger and better people when you aren't.

Yep. That is why a lot of pent up anger is being vented at them now. The cheating itself is bad enough, but on the back of their comments leading up to the Ashes and their bitching in South Africa, it shows that their entire attitude to the game stinks.

They can cry all they fucking want.
They have got everything they deserved.

Warner, Smith and Bancroft are wankers of the highest order and this cunting off they are taking in front of the entire world is supremely satisfying.....if ever they are to be welcomed back into decent society they should be made to watch repeated viewings of the press conference where they stuck the boot into Bairstow and took delight in laughing at him , they should then confess to what cunts they were.

Spot on, Lash

Australia's bowlers getting crucified by the Saffers - it's a good Friday.

Australia just want to get on the plane.This could be a 3 day test.

Warner blubbing like a baby now, wonderful stuff.

This is excruciatingly bad.

Interesting that they all bring their wives and children into it. Their opponents' wives and children, of course, are usually the subject-matter in the vile personal abuse that passes for sledging nowadays.

I wish one of them would have the balls to say "yeah, we tried to cheat, so fucking what? Next time we'll lose fair and square, and we'll see how long you're prepared to put up with that."

The wives and children stuff is obligatory these days, and I’m sure they are encouraged to do it by their media advisors.

Apart from allowing them to cynically “change the narrative” and indulge in self-pity, it akso acts as the trigger to get them blubbing, thus allowing their minders to step in and call a halt to proceedings.

Nauseating.

Or just say "You know what? We did it, were caught and will take our punishment, serve our time and come back". All these teary, PR-friendly press conferences are becoming dull and now people are falling for it.

Warner ducked every fucking question anyway!

As heavily spun as a politician's press conference, that one, and didn't do Warner any favours.
He'll never play for Australia again.

Aussies 96/6 in reply to SA's 488 all out.

Unlucky, lads

Morkel, if he stays fit, is going to destroy county teams for Surrey this summer. An absolute legend of the game.
