For me maybe it's at least a way to clear the garbage out and start liking our national team again

Don't be so hard on three of your best Batsmen Mate..

It's just high jinx from a bunch of larrikins..

I wonder if it's that Smith and Warner's multimillion dollar rockstar lifestyle has divorced them from reality.
I hope the media and the public back off though. Firstly, the French Policeman is a hero, these guys are just really good at a game and made a dumb call. Secondly, I wouldn't like to see them or Bancroft psychologically tortured into doing anything extreme.

I loved cricket as a kid, played junior cricket till I was 15 I think but umm, girls and illegal alcohol purchasing and being a typical teen took over

Classy bunch over there in Geelong.

Alan Border after him and Michael Taylor and Steve Waugh .....

I hope this brings the whole of Cricket Australia back down to Earth and as for the few that disgraced the game , Ban em' for life I say

Hating and ripping into the Australian team is one of the most Australian things you can do. You pass the citizenship test!

I remember seeing the underarm thing on TV live as a kid. My parents weren't impressed at all.

I haven't spoken to my mum about the current cricket scandal. Might have to give her a ring and see what she thinks.

Back off they will, always happens but as for dumb call, they're adults is the way I see it.

Right

But I hate any cheat though do believe in pushing rules to absolute limits. The Australian Test team since Ponting took over is the only national team of any kind I've hated

You wish Geelong was classier than those suburbs! Geelong makes Craigieburn look like Kew.

You hate Australia because you're from there. The same way you hate Geelong in footy.

I`d ask Streeter whether he wanted to punch the crying baby shoes (As utterly failed to man up) face of Steve Smith off alone

Or let me help with my pain inflicting purple gloves of justice

**Sir Honkers** · March 29th, 2018, 09:42 PM

I've come to the opinion, that every time someone who's great at playing a game demonstrates they're only human, we the general public demonstrate what a bunch of nasty cnuts we are.
