Maybe the pommie media should pay more attention to what their own crew is up to, the allegations being made over there are enough to tear the joint down.

Cricket Australia has admitted that it "made a mistake" in covering up Paine's shenanigans. Of course, it's only a mistake if you get caught, but what are the chances of a successful cover-up?

Zero ...

If you were paranoid you might think someone connected to the ACB leaked the story to get a NSWelshman back in the big chair for the Ashes!
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - capcom - 11-21-2021
They're in damage limitation atm
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 11-22-2021
I think there's more to this than we're being told

CA in damage control after trying to hide the investigation but the media wont let this go...too good a story and as you suggest I reckon a few more skeletons waiting to fall out of the cupboard.
The girl will be on a nice earner if she comes forward with her story, Pommy media will be all over it too trying to deflect from the Yorkshire racist debacle..Hope Alex Hales loses his BB contract too, a real sorry excuse for a human, Vaughan should lose his media job and other morons like Ballance should be banned from county cricket, same deal with Hoggard, no coaching or cricket employment either. Too much money in cricket and too much spare time for players and so little respect for the game.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - capcom - 11-25-2021
So now we need a new wicketkeeper given Paine's "retirement"

I'm more concerned about the old school getting it's leg in again, Paine was introduced to basically end the hold over Australian Cricket by the Cricket Mafia(Maybe read NSW). Paine stumbled through his own hubris, and look who "the only viable replacements" are, as reported by the cricket experts, NSWelshman A or NSWelshman B?
As for the keeper, what chance is the resurrection of 36yo NSW keeper Peter Neville, or some almost unheard of pick from NSW grade cricket?
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Thryleon - 11-26-2021
Just one more example of modern sports losing it a bit.
If his wife can stick with him through this, I can't see why this has cost a bloke his cricket career whilst ball tampering doesn't??
