    One of the series that should've been mentioned was Australia's tour of India in 2017. There were incidents of bad behavior from both sides but Steve Smith looking up at the dressing room to get help with a DRS decision topped it off. He was labeled as a cheat but escaped any punishment. Had he been punished i doubt the SA saga would have happened.

    This is great. I think it's overly generous to David Warner, who has a *very* long history of abusing the opposition at all levels. If you live by the sword you die by the sword.
    It reminds me of the exchange with Sarwan where McGrath lost his rag because Lara said something about his wife (who was ill with cancer), but McGrath started it by making sexual innuendos. You can't have it both ways. You can't say, as it appears Warner does, I'm the arbiter of what is and isn't off limits for discussion (and I do know what the masks are about).
    It has always been my opinion (nothing else) that Warner was the drive behind sandpaper-gate. Steve Smith may have been very naive and foolish but he's never struck me as someone who would do *anything* to win (other than batting superbly of course !)

    • @stephenreeds3632

    Only watched part 1 so far but...
    I think the claim that sledging /verbal attacks on players is an accepted part of cricket highlights a very Aussie centric view of the game. Its certainly not considered in the spirit elsewhere and has been a point of contention for decades. Maybe I have an England centric view but behaving like that has seen people dropped from sides I play for and skipper.
    The hubris of an Aussie side that has consistently claimed to define the line of what is and is not acceptable behaviour on the field in that SA series even before the sand paper was employed was hugely amusing. The complaints about press coverage, aggressive fans and being sledged on the pitch all sound very familiar. Essentially an Australian team were faced with exactly the same behaviours that touring sides faced when visiting Australia and imploded mentally. After years of giving it out, they couldn't take it when given back and it made the rest of the world laugh.
    Still onwards through this set of videos for me.

Great content but no sympathy should be shown to either Warner or Smith for cheating the game. I also remember Smith letting Hazlewood abuse the third umpire in a game against NZ for a right decision being given for NZ and also looking at dressing room for DRS against India. That aint no brain fade. Great content tbh but Warner and Smith are not victims.

    Really going out of your way to paint South Africa as the problem here rather than the Australian Team culture at the time... going out of your way to find excuses for Warner. Its the broadcasters, its the South African fans, it De Kock... so Tim Paine says de Kock said something so his word is gospel and justifies Warners on field behavior and comments which are simply brushed over? You're going a long way to paint Warner in as positive a light as possible, rather than what he is on the field... a prick. I thought the failures in team culture (Warner being a key part of that) was supposed to be the whole lesson from this ordeal. Yet it seems as though people have learnt nothing. The reason this become such a big deal, wasn't because what the players did was the worst thing in cricket history. It wasn't. The reason it became so bad was because it deconstructed this idealized "holier than thou" image of the Australian Cricket team and exposed the reality to Australians that every other team and country already knew and saw... That they were no better than anyone else, in fact, in some aspects they were worse.

Jack Leach will be a huge miss, as we lack a suitable replacement. I'm nervous, but not really afraid of the Aussies, but the first test will be crucial.

      Interesting to remember that it was a tour of Australia, where the Windies were very badly abused, that made Clive Lloyd (Now Sir Clive), tour the Caribbean Islands looking for for the tallest, fastest and best deliverers of a cricket ball that he could find! That’s where the Windies pace attack came from.....next tour of Oz and they destroyed Australia!

    Which grade of sandpaper do they prefer to use; coarse, medium or fine?

  • @portcullis5622
    @portcullis5622 Год назад +1

    I think that they should have a test series where virtually anything goes. Same for both sides. The umpires bring out sandpaper, polish, vaseline, tools for picking the seam etc. The captain can choose from that selection at any time, but can still only have a new ball after 85 overs, so, if they pick the wrong method of (legal) ball tampering, they could make the ball worse for bowling with.
    On a flat, batting-friendly pitch, it could be very interesting.

  • @warrenharrison5052

    I have no problem with the punishment given to the 3 Australian players for their roles in sandpaper gate. However I think to be fair, their actions need to be seen in context with what other teams were doing and getting away with previously. Here are but a few that have retreated to the shadows behind the sandpaper gate incident. 1. Mike Atherton (England captain) was caught rubbing 'dirt' he stashed into his pocket into the ball in an attempt to change its condition - result = after initial denials Atherton admitted guilt and received a 2000 pound fine with no suspension. 2. South African captain Faf DuPlessis on 2 occasions was found guilt of attempting to illegally alter the state of the ball using mints (England were guilty of this too in 2005 ashes) to shine / weight the ball, and on another occasion he used the zipper on his pants to scratch the ball up again no suspension fine only. Vernon Philander was fined for scratching the ball with his nails, Shahid Afridi found guilty of biting the ball to change its condition. All these players were found guilty and none received a ban. This just highlights the hypocrisy of the system that was too soft for too long. I wouldn't be surprised if Warner and Smith reckoned the worst they would face was a fine with no suspension. Boy were they wrong. Cricket Australia took a principled stand and said enough is enough - 1 year ban and massive fines. The toothless ICC wouldn't have done any more than they did in the cases listed above. So before people get on their high horses I'd suggest they look in their own back yard for ball tampering incidents that were punished by 50 lashes with a wet lettuce leaf.

      Australian cricket had become toxic, especially on that tour.
      No amount of bleating on about other teams will ever justify the animosity shown by Australia to SA in those matches. And as usual the Aussies took it too far. Then cry about being found out.

    This does a good job of showing the difference between playing for Australia and playing for other countries. This is something many casual viewers of Cricket don’t understand with reference to the recent events in the Ashes. Cricket is a contained sport in countries like England; the vast majority of the public are largely uninterested. It isn’t like Football, where everyone knows most top players, and the pressure is enormous. Cricket has a fanbase, but it’s very much a secondary sport, possibly not even that. Many of our fans who enjoy Cricket find ‘win at all costs’ to be unpalatable; it feels ugly and unnecessary to us, myself included. It’s Cricket, it’s good to watch, but winning isn’t the be-all and end-all. Losing is okay, we generally want to play well and enjoy it, but we don’t want to see arrogance and we struggle with seeing it as important enough to be cutthroat/cheat etc. A good example comes in the form of KP, he was an amazing player, but even an ounce of personality somehow made the English media, Cricket community, and even the England team, uncomfortable and he didn’t have the career he could have. Imagine if he was Australian, he would have been loved for his arrogance, given the chance to flourish, and he would have likely fit right in.

Your former test player & WW2 fighter pilot Keith Mitchell summed it up perfectly when Michael Clarke whined about 'pressure', Mitchell said pressure is having a ME 109 up your backside. They chose to try to cheat the laws of the game, got caught & should never have been able to play again, end of.

A massive failure in the cricket board of the country to instill Fail play and the spirt of ceicket values in players from club level on up. Next step was the selction of players that whilst very talented have no bussiness play international test cricket due to attitude Steve Smith is the example of this. The final step in the failing of OZ cricket baord was not to ban all 3 players involved from playing for OZ at international level for life. Any test match or other international that any of these cheats plays in should have an * attached as the result can never be fully trusted.
