What's wrong with a bit of look at my time on the cricket field... when you playing the same game for 5 days you need a range of different personalities amongst a group. It's the modern way every side has a couple of them!
He draws the younger audience into the game and don't you worry there will be more young lads with Marnus's name on their back in the next 1-5 years than anyone else!

My son and his mates all love Marnus too. Bit like they all love Nick Kyrgios also. They love the different characters. Us older generation can still think they are absolutely wankers though

As long as the Australian team is winning test cricket without cheating I'm happy. In fact I love it when we're hated.
Nothing better than putting the Indians and Poms back in their place.

I'm not sure Smith was involved in any actual cheating.

The same way English fans overlook the entire 2005 Ashes team.......

Were they found guilty though?
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

At any rate, everyone agrees Warner's a dickhead.
He got a 12 month ban and did his time.
Even murderers don't get life.
Do you actually believe Smith wasn’t involved?
3 year ban would have been suffice

Even the queen overlooked them. They got MBE's didn't they?

What crap that is. No one overlooks it. They got a one year suspension which was pretty much imposed by the public reaction for something that the ICC would have given them a one match suspension for. Ball tampering has been going on for decades. Our blokes got caught and did the time. While they can never fully regain the trust and respect they once had I saw first hand what Smith in particular was up against and his performances in England was simply remarkable cricket. Too bad you couldn't enjoy it.

3 Years is bullshit and let's face it, you wouldn't have forgiven them even if they did get three. Smith's sin was that he wasn't involved enough. Not strong enough to say 'hang on Davey, that's wrong'. I reckon nearly the whole team knew about this and the coach. They shouldn't have done it but they've done their time. No different to Warney and his ban.

Everyone else does it so that’s ok? We’re not 3 year olds here.
They cheated......... plain and simple.
You can overlook it...... each to their own.

How is accepting that they done their time represent overlooking the offence? Massive logic bomb. They cheated, they got caught, they had a penalty which has been served.

Smith was the Captain. The buck stops with him.

I'll take a ball tamperer over a wife beater or match fixer or drug taker or any other of the far worse behavioural traits getting around the sport and this world and day of the week.
