Smith's Crew in SA

[PaulP]

No one has suggested that SA are pure.  Yes,  they could have declared earlier.  There is no obligation to help the opposition achieve s milestone.  There is no obligation to give the opposition a chance to win.  All teams do what SA do.  Their run rate was 3.27 in the second innings, which isn't bad for them and there was a lot of time left in the test.

Nothing wrong with what they did.  We have been doing it for years.

If this was a footy match and we were 10 goals up against the Bombers who were down to 17 players due to injuries at the start of the last quarter,  would you want to ease up.? What would be an acceptable result that is fair?

Evidence of their cheating this series is?

I agree. Some people have massive victim mentalities that they take to every sport. The Australian Cricket team gets unfair treatment from the ICC and the cricket world generally - other teams get preferential treatment. Carlton gets unfair treatment from the AFL, the media, and the footy world generally - other teams gets preferential treatment.

I really wonder why some people even bother following sport.
