The below includes this absolute pearler…

Well he also thinks selling cocaine is legal

On The Cricket Grade podcast b4 Test 3, Faf comes as close as possible to conceding we were also doing it, just not as effectively. Starts abt 31:50

I can not believe what I have just heard. 🙆 He's kidding, right?

🫣🫣🫣😅😅😅😅

Ehh, kinda agree. Using only nails should be allowed. One of the reasons countries started doing raging seamer/turners because old ball simply stopped doing fucking anything

on the flattest of flat tracks i tend to agree. no coincidence test cricket has seen livelier result pitches over the last few years, from all nations, post the cape town fiasco.

No way Derek 😂😂😂. Stuart can't be serious

Interesting take for sure but it’s also a slippery slope. Where do you stop? What’s stopping the batters from altering their bats. In my opinion it would change the sport way too much. We’ll be complaining about games being rigged for bowlers like we do now for the batters.

“Yep. Yep” - (You can see the moment he thinks what am I doing here.”) These two need to get the f away from the felon.

The ICC are at fault, previous ball tampering penalties were very light, 1-match ban or a small fine. This incentivized all teams to push the boundaries, because the risk vs reward was too immeasurably high. Win a series vs a team also doing it, and risk a small ban.

Gets better. Rodney Hogg says EVERYONE was doing it. That Aus commentators in 2018, Alan Border & Brendan Julian, WARNED Aus team before Newlands there would be extra cameras following them -- but they carried on doing it, leaving Bancroft out to dry.

Spoken like only a drug dealer could

Said by a convicted criminal - it figures

if you scratch the ball im not magically gonna swing it like Starc, might be one of the stupidest comments i have ever heard a grown adult say. You have gray hair, and you are telling me manipulating the ball has no influence on the movement in the air. Actual moron

Cheat

So using sandpaper is not cheating…. Nice one

lol does he want the umpire to supply the sandpaper 🙄

Agree to some of what they said, like uzzy being an honest guy, not doing this for money, being unable to speak out earlier as he would have been cast aside by Cricket Aus, but this was nonsense.

Sir Richard Hadley has said on record that “ball tampering” should be a part of the game. Not bottle tops etc but being allowed to pick at the seam.

Move on!

Tresothick, Faf etc... talk/write about tampering in pretty dismissive tones. It doesn't seem a surprise now the genie is out of the bottle .

lol jeepers

What a doos. Its cocaine brain

Australian cricket players are a special group of people.
