Awkward. ....
Especially awkward for the teams that haven't moved on since the days of limited coverage and grainy footage. ...
Betting on cricket was also relatively less controversial if you rewind back another nine years too...
Organized and planned cheating is organized and planned cheating. Regardless of justification.
Context always plays a part. “Everyone was doing it/if you can’t beat them join them” isn’t much of a defence, but it was of the time and place. 2018, arguably much less so.
People wanting to “ban them for life” need to think again, but I don’t think Mike Atherton or Chris Pringle back in the day should necessarily stop the rest of us having a laugh and a wry smile at the latest dramas from the team that always plays hard but fair, and knows where the line is...

In a vain attempt to restore some integrity to proceedings an Australian wicketkeeper is trusted with not cheating.
That's beautiful.

How long go was that? Yeah really awkward ...
Was flatting with a bloke at Uni who went to school with Parore. This bloke was pretty good age grade cricketer. AGS 1st XI. Played first grade club stuff in Akl. Hawke Cup level for Counties so knew people.
That Pringle story was well known. The story went that this was pretty much the only time it worked. NZ's bowlers just weren't as quick as Waqar and Wasim who did the same shit ALL the time, but got late swing due to their extra pace .... alledgedly ... err ... hypothetically ...

Interesting:
And as the game wore on, Pringle became deliberately obvious in an attempt to get a reaction, even gouging the ball as he talked to the umpire. Still nothing was said. So eagerly was he vandalizing the ball that at one stage he cut himself on the jagged bottle top.

Thanks pal. Very magnanimous, more than the passive aggressive response from some other ferners.
I wonder if the Windies quicks ever did it ?

The biggest lynch mob will be the Australian public. Just wait and see. This bunch of Aus cricketers just aren't very well liked and no one will have a problem sticking the boot in. Seems like even the PM will go after them to get some brownie points.
It's all about goodwill. The Aus cricket team have zero. Including in Australia.

I don't remember the Windies moving the ball around that much, but I was a young lad then. I just remember them thundering in like giants, that would have been real fear for self facing Ambrose, Marshall, and all the others in full flight

Passive aggressive? The link was quoted in the post immediately above yours. You should just take my advice and read a thread first.
Why would you expect someone to post links again immediately after they just posted the link? Just because you can't be bothered looking one post up. That isnt passive aggresive that is just addressing laziness -

Haven't seen anything along those lines, but it must have been (a bit? much?) more common before match referees, multiple cameras etc. Wonder just how many famous quicks used to do it.
The only time I ever batted against a (ridiculously) doctored ball in the nets, it was an eye opener. Started to leave one wide of off stump but then had to hastily play a shot before it nearly hit me on the back thigh...

Six batsmen, keeper and four quicks. A pretty simple formula that kept them at the top for years. I suppose they were so good at the unplayable Yorkers by being so tall ? ( as opposed to Marshall who was just short and awesome )

I remember lots of guys getting hit. They were menacing, batsmen must have literally feared for their safety. Just ask Ken Rutherford

So .. apparently they're playing cricket ...

Philander looking to push it along apparently. Three consecutive boundaries off Starc.

Steve Smith has hired his cousin Aaron Smith to give him and Warner some advice. Aaron recommended they both sign sawn testimony. Warner went first Smith went 'afterdavid'.
