So many quotes from Cricket Australia saying the ball tampering is ‘disappointing’, and ‘standards have not been met’. Talk about an understatement! Many Australians are outraged and downright disgusted that an Aussie cricketer would ever consider doing such a thing - let alone plan and carry it out! As Australians we pride ourselves on playing hard but always playing fair. This behaviour is cheating, plain and simple. It’s unAustralian, and unacceptable. What happened is appalling and embarrassing! The ICC’s sanctions are fine, but CA should hold a much higher standard, and act accordingly. Those responsible should be sacked by CA immediately and never play cricket for Australia again. CA needs to set an example that nobody is greater than the game, and as Australians we hold our cricketers to the highest standard. I feel sorry for any parents having to explain to their kids that their heros are cheats.
This article sums up how a lot of Aussies feel about it. Good article. Definitely worth a read: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelBlucherAuthor/posts/1271410132990073
