tour endsthis isnt the first instance of balltampering do you feel cricket australia overreactedthey are not overreacting whatever has happened till now is because of that press conference which should not have taken place they are trying to limit the damage as you rightly said there have been past instances of players tampering with the ball without such a huge reaction these teams in modern times travel with every help they could ever need where was the media manager whoever that is heshe should have taken over the situation and advised against the press conference what was there to gain he she shouldnt be continuing in that position the media managers job is not to just escort team members to their interviews and presentation ceremonies but maybe i am wrong and the advice was to not have the press conference and it was ignoredaustralia pride themselves in saying they play hard but fair has that myth has been busted that has been truly busted in the public eye but i knew long time ago it was rubbish ive played for many years and commentated on many of their games i have seen a former captain pick the ball from the ground and appeal pretending he didnt know the ball bounced all this hard and fair thing is absolutely rubbish not all of them behave that way but some go beyond pushing the envelope they can tell other people about their fair play but dont come to me with thatthe icc has gone by its parameters in meting out the punishments you have been critical of them in the pastthey went by their code of conduct and the accompanying protocol but now they have to be aware that their code of conduct and the punishments meted out under it are absolutely ridiculous how can what steve smith did bring the same punishment as the captain of another team whose only crime was to not push his team in the field to bowl the allocated number of overs per day required its like giving a drunk driver and somebody whos driving without his drivers licence the same punishmentdo you endorse the suggestion that sledging should be banned for good the australian pm believes there should be no sledging at all in the sportof course that is the root cause of all this thats why i keep saying you should have yellow and red cards in cricket too the first time you sledge you get a yellow card you repeat the offence get a red card and leave the team i actually have no problem with people passing sarcastic remarks to their teammates within earshot of the opposition but when you start attacking people personally and shout in their faces invade their own space thats not sporthaving played against the aussies and watched them as a broadcaster do you think they are the most illbehaved and boorish of all teamswhen i played i didnt have to put up with such behaviour there were
