Smith's Crew in SA

[Jack Burton]

Something that I don't get is the hand wringing about Australia doing "whatever it takes" to win games... the jarpies haven't exactly been angelic in that realm either or gone out of their way to calm the situation down over there.

World cricket as a whole needs a dramatic shift in attitudes, and it needs to be driven from head office i.e. the ICC not driven from a branch office, i.e. Australia.  Problem is that the ICC is WASP and lacks the cojones to effect real change.

This is the problem. I'm all for heavy sanctions against Smith and Warner, they deserve it for stupidity and arrogance as much as anything else. But if we do that, the rest of the cricket world thumbs their noses at us and laughs hysterically, because they have got away with the same thing with no penalties. We lose, they win
