Australians are passionate about cricket. how do they feel about cheats?

Australian cricket captain Steve Smith is "incredibly sorry for bringing the game into disrepute" but says he won't resign as skipper after a ball tampering controversy erupted in South Africa overnight.
When asked who was responsible, Smith said it was a decision made by the players and not the coaching staff.
"It was purely the players, and the leadership group (that were responsible)," Smith said.
"We saw this game as such an important game. We've seen the ball reversing ... so that's a big mistake on our part."

The First Non-stop flight from Australia to the UK, is due to land in London later ..

17 hours in the air, that's Bollox, only the RAF can refuel mid-flight..

Nah it's true, but 17 hours is still an uncomfortably long time in the air.

There's only one thing I wanna spend 17 hours doing and if I ever could do it I sure can't now!

Better than the 26/27 I've done four times in my life. I might go for that if I could afford it.

Better to take a day's break at Singapore though.

But I went on the track while the cars were at speed, and tagged a car which lost its momentum and line, which caused it to crash in qualifying?

But at least if you are from London and flying to Oz - or from Oz and flying to London - we are both flying to somewhere well worth the long trip. I have been on 5 hour flights to places I'd never want to go to again (naming no names!) but would visit Australia any time if I could possibly do so.

Now there is an endorsement for you.

Why don't you go to Hawaii. I have been there twice(in 1978 and 1983), but the cost now is very high. Ticket for one way to Honolulu is almost 2,000 dollars and the trip itself is almost 20 hours.
