Cheating

[BoyBrumby]

What the clip doesn't show is whether he appealed for it. Do we know that he did? If he did, that is indeed the gold standard.

A classic selection of YouTube half-wit racists commenting on it, too.

If memory serves he got a ban for his actions, so I assume he must have.

& yes, people who comment on YouTube make one weep for the species.

Doesn't look too flash from the head-on angle. Seems to have it, let it go & then close his hand again.

Yep but I'm not 100% sure that it hit the ground - before he closed his hand back on it again.

More frenzied abuse from the YouTube cretins as well

I think most Youtube commenters have been drafted from the armed wing of the AWB.. Dire bunch of people

Funniest thing is Botham commenting "Brilliant, brilliant, just as the replays clearly show Bell emulating the Harlem Globetrotters' ability to control a bouncing ball.

btw has Bell actually bowled for England since that incident?

Ian Chappell at Headingley in 1975 when he sneaked on to the ground at 01:AM and poured oil on the wicket in order to get the match abandoned.

Òne of the great coincidences of cricket history

Haha, an American saying if ever there was one.. Thank God they are only good at their own sports

Hey, it's not OK to be a loser. A win by cheating is still a win if no one finds out.

Rashid Latif is the gold standard for claiming a blatantly grassed catch for mine.

Haha, yea, that's terrible. Gotta take my statement back about Clarke, that's much more amazing that he expected to get away with it.

 

[GIMH]

Please tell me that Latif catch wasn't given??

17 overs in two hours to prevent England taking a 2-0 lead in the Caribbean in 90/91 - Desi Haynes at the helm

Later in that series Viv Richards intimidating Lloyd Barker into giving Rob Bailey caught behind off his arse

It was, but he was then banned for five ODIs and never played a Test again.

Bangladesh lost the Test by a wicket.

Should I bring up the one hand one bounce rules that Michael Clarke seems to play by?

Too little too late.

I would say Afridi too, though some of Clarke's claimed catches are quite amazing in that he expects to get away with it (and mostly does).

Good ones Fred. I was going to mention the Haynes one which was ugly and calculated.

The Bailey dismissal was a staggeringly bad piece of umpiring. Barker had already called "over" before he gave Bailey out...

 

[completeNZer]

My coach who is a sydney guy say's Clarke admitted he knew didn't catch one of them, can't remember what one though

 

[zaremba]

Not sure I've seen any of the Clarke ones - can anyone post a link?

 

[Uppercut]

Find Afridi's really very minor tbh.

.....but it was a long time ago Mr Z - happen we should be more forgiving - after all they may have simply been remembering Tony Greig running out Alvin Kallicharan as he walked off at the close in one of the tests in 73/74

Except that decision was reversed.

Yea, that Richards one was badd although classic haha.

I'm cringeing at the thought. On that particular day, Lancashire fans must have been ashamed that Tony Grieg played for their county.

Hey, it's not OK to be a loser. A win by cheating is still a win if no one finds out.

All the more reason why the punishments need to be stringent for those who are found-out, to intimidate people into thinking it's not a risk worth taking.
