@mariner4life said in Convicts v Marxist Land Thieves - Crucket:
Lehman goes.
Real talk, I've had a bit of fun with this over the last couple of days, it's been a good bit of chat about a sporting controversy.
But Jesus Christ this is fucking ridiculous. I fucking feel for all of them now, even warner. It's fucking ball tampering, not match fixing. Get a grip.
I don't get the sanctimony in the aussie press at all. Suddenly the "hard edge" is a stick to beat them with, but was celebrated not a couple of months ago. Get fucked.
I guess I'm not surprised at the severity of the sentences - I thought it would be either six months or a year.
I follow your point comparing ball tampering with match fixing, but in my mind they're somewhat in the same ballpark (not the crazy dismissals of that video a month or so ago where a whole team is throwing the match), but the Hansie Cronje/ Lou Vincent type of fixing where a couple of guys in a team are conscripted to throw their wickets away. Main difference is that the Aussies were doing it for the team not for their direct personal enrichment.
Maybe it's closer (ballpark) to having several players in a rugby team caught using PEDs. Basically it's premeditated cheating to try to give your team a significant advantage. As someone points out above, the immediate follow-up (tape rather than sandpaper, etc) wasn't flash either.
I can understand the anger in Oz as well. It's a bit like if a group of ABs were caught using PEDs - it kind of invalidates some of what has gone before and some of what will happen in the future - at least in terms of internet/media "banter". Every time the Aussies win, there will be "check the ball" comments somewhere. I'd be fucking furious if it was the ABs or the Black Caps.
And to avoid calls of naivety - I'd already be amazed if there had never been a single AB who has used PEDs - and the same goes for every other major international team.
Years ago I worked for a bank and probably knew/knew of about 300 various staff, of whom nine were sacked for fingers in the till. There's a proportion of cheats in the population.

Smart move by Warner to face the media for the first time with his wife and girls
Hard to kick him further when he’s holding one of his little girls.I hate him even more for that. He's effectively using them as a shield. Cowardly tosser.
100% agree. Dragging his wee girls in front of the cameras as props to garner sympathy is beyond disgusting. This is about YOUR cheating, and YOUR bad behaviour on the field, you fucking asshole. Your teammates stood up and took it.

That comment shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the line.
See there is this line.
Getting stuck into Davey about his Mrs on the field? That is absolutely over the line. They aren’t a part of the game, they didn’t ask to be involved - leave them out of this.
Davey has been caught cheating in an on field incident? Quick get the wife and kids, see if we can get granny Warner out of the nursing home too. Using your wife and kids as a shield in the media is absolutely within the line.
Your comment criticizing him for using his wife and kids like this is most certainly over the line. Leave them out of this.

@mikethesnow sorry, I'll fall for anything?
I think I'm one of the very few that hasn't.

The level of vitriol towards Warner in this thread is ugly....and revealing. Some posters have shown they are cut from the same cloth as the man they are raging about.

Can't speak for the others here, but I never ran up to a dismissed batsman and yelled abuse straight in his face nor did I ever cheat. I would also never consider using my kids to shield me from a shit storm that was entirely my own making.
Warner is a cnut. Simply pointing that out does not then make someone a cnut themselves. That's weird logic right there.

I think Warner is in all a nasty peice of work on thd field. But I can see context and scale. -
Thought I read somewhere that Warner’s family had been travelling with him, so the kids at the airport are no surprise.

@baron-silas-greenback And for the record I have spoken to someone who has played with and against Warner about the very topic of sledging and abuse. And he is indeed pretty feral. Off the field he is apparently a bloody nice guy and less arrogant than most of his teamates. But nothing more than a number of other players. He just gets pumped on the field and crosses the line more often than others.
The reaction to him over this is disgusting and more feral than Warner. -

Can you give examples of where this line was crossed? I don't see how the abuse he is copping here is any worse than any other sportsman who get shit on TSF.

I haven't seen any posters say that Davey's wife mum or sister are bush pigs. Even during the fuss over his wife I didn't read any rude comments directly aimed at her, I didn't for example read anyone say she was a slut or whore for example. I think it's safe to say we've all stayed behind the line Warner crossed with Quinton de Kock

I went back to see what I posted that might have been a dig at Warner, I don’t know anything about the guy and until this test series had never heard of him . I had heard of his wife though.The only I could find was a post with a photo the guys wife posed for in a modelling shoot. Not sure how that’s a dig at him particularly given the pictures I’ve seen of him suggest he is punching well above his weight and given that she’s a part time model she consented to the photo shoot.

According to the article : "Sugar granules could be used as an abrasive to help scuff up the ball,".
I suspect it more like the Du Plessis one though. Using the sugar to add shine like he did with the mint lollies?

I'm sure we all have aspects of our lives where we act differently in different situations.
I'm sure some people can be really really nice when they're not posting on internet forums.

@baron-silas-greenback And for the record I have spoken to someone who has played with and against Warner about the very topic of sledging and abuse. And he is indeed pretty feral. Off the field he is apparently a bloody nice guy and less arrogant than most of his teamates. But nothing more than a number of other players. He just gets pumped on the field and crosses the line more often than others.
The reaction to him over this is disgusting and more feral than Warner.Oh good. He's a nice bloke away from cricket. That makes his on field behaviour ok then...
I'm sure we all have aspects of our lives where we act differently in different situations.
I'm sure some people can be really really nice when they're not posting on internet forums.
Where has anyone said that it his on field behaviour is ok?? Dont make stuff up and then argue agsint it. I said his on field behaviour is feral, and think comments about his off field personal life are low.
I agree about posting on forums . Just look at some of the ugly comments about his wife I highlighted.... keyboard warriors indeed. -

How would seven packets of sugar help you tamper the ball anyway???
According to the article : "Sugar granules could be used as an abrasive to help scuff up the ball,".
I suspect it more like the Du Plessis one though. Using the sugar to add shine like he did with the mint lollies?
Yup that would be the obvious reason, a mouth full of sugar then spat onto one side of the ball can have quite an effect.
I think you would have to be pretty naive to believe the Australian team haven’t don’t something like this before, just maybe in such an extreme and premeditated way. -

@mikethesnow sorry, I'll fall for anything?
I think I'm one of the very few that hasn't.
Apologies.
Interpreted that you thought his PR team had done a good job with the how and what was said.

I find it difficult, in fact nearly impossible, to believe Warner is a nice guy off the field. Nice guys simply do not do what he does.
They don't spout anger relentlessly and the go all cry-baby when the retaliation is equally brutal. They don't cheat as soon as they look like losing. They don't spout cant about how they'd never do something and then do it. They don't use their kids as shields.
I'm sure he's a decent seeming fellow in the pub when everything is going well and everyone's having a laugh. I'm sure he loves his wife and family. I can even believe he's remorseful, for the moment.
But he'll be just like he always was after a season or two.
So, while I have not particularly laid into him in this thread, I don't think he's been hard done by.
People have been asking him to behave better for years and not only has he ignored them, but he has laughed at the requests. He himself showed little compassion for others caught ball tampering.
I'll show him exactly the same regard as he shows others.
If reports are even half to be believed, I will be joined by his team mates.

Arguably the best headline of the series so far.
It’s a game to be enjoyed as well as a tough contest.

Looks like a decent guy too
Strange not to be looking at the face of an Australian cricket player and think that’s punchable! -
Chadd Sayers: first wicket in Test career is ABdV and he's bowling at 2.50 RPO on a day where the Proteas score 313. Not bad

I was curious as to why you'd bring up his off field personality. Didn't seem relevant to his ban.
Separate to the above I found this tweet telling:

@chester-draws There was also the incident where he punched Joe Root.
On 12 June 2013, Warner was dropped for Australia's second match in 2013 ICC Champions Trophy match against New Zealand following an attack on an England cricketer.[56] It later emerged that this player was Joe Root. The event happened hours after Saturday's loss to England at Edgbaston. According to the sports journalist Pat Murphy, the incident took place at 2 am at the Walkabout bar in the centre of Birmingham, UK. On 13 June 2013, Cricket Australia announced that Warner was to be fined £7,000 (AU $11,500) and would not play for his country until the first Ashes Test on 10 July 2013. Warner subsequently missed the rest of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and the tour matches against Somerset and Worcestershire.[57]
