Whenever I hear the name Haddin I get triggered.
I'm no better than any SJW whinger. I'm ashamed.

What pisses me off is that the Poms and the Aussies were up in arms about Wasim, Waqar and Imran developing Reverse swing in the early 90s to begin with and the level of vitriol directed their way via the ECB/MCC and ACB/CA was loud and prolonged. Can you imagine the sanctions that would apply now if say Sri Lanka or Pakistan had done this now?
Australian Cricket is completely fucked behaviourally and the person who has to take the blame as well is the Chief Idiot in Charge who has signed off on the hypocrisy to begin with.

I'm not like a lot of kiwis who put the boot into the Aussies at the slightest thing ( some great comments on stuff from morons who wouldn't know a cricket bat from a baseball bat ) but Australia are doing themselves absolutely no favours with their carry on.

@synicbast a fair point, but at the same time the game in the subcontinent was corrupt as fuck. Crooked umpires, and competition prizes or money that just disappeared if the home side lost, in addition to the ball tampering.

Good point Nick. At the time I couldn't fathom how the best fast bowling duo I've ever ( and still ) seen felt the need to cheat as they did.

Watch the first bit where Smith throws Bancroft under the bus
Smith and Boof should be sacked. 'The boys in the shed are embarrassed'. So much remorse (after being caught).
In his rambling, though, he did confess to bringing the game into disrepute.
.....and it is all so fucking hilarious!
Mate I don’t see it as hilarious at all. They’ve been caught out blatantly cheating, so blatant that they’ve had to fess up. That’s not good for cricket and it’s a real fucking slap in the face for the Aussie supporters. I know, cue much mirth about their plight but the majority are genuine fans of the game and deserve better. I know if this had been England I’d be ropable.
Hence my more serious post underneath that one.
The hilarious-ness of it is that it comes after Boof just tried to take the moral high ground and the incessant talk about not crossing lines. That part is funny.
IMO if the ICC don't throw the book at these fuckwits the game has just written its death notice.
Yeah reactionary post from me, apologies. It's just that I find this stuff just shiity and don't want to climb into it in a jingoistic way - not pointed at you or any others on here for that matter.
Anyway, to address your more salient point, yeah the ICC really must make some examples here. Poor bloody Bancroft is likely gone but there needs to be some senior heads on the block here too.

Daughter-Dad, why is my name Rose?
Father-Because when you were born a rose petal fluttered through the window and landed on you forehead.
2nd daughter -Dad is that why I’m called Violet?
Father- Yes dear the same things as happened to your sister, a violet petal carried on a gentle breeze landed on your forehead.
3rd daughter-mmmmmwahahahagaggggh?
Father-Shut the fuck up concrete block.
