Isn't Steve Smith's mother English ?
Remember a story of him leaving school early to go play cricket for the youth teams at Kent or something along those lines as he had family there.

Love it....The Protea Fire brotherhood will stand up for one another.
So **** you Australian media
NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
I didn't even consider the order debatable. It would be hard to justify a better option from the squad picked.

Probably for the best. We do want to get into a third day at least.

Fine with that result. Don't think it warranted a ban, but needed to be dealt with all the same.

Nah they do
Regardless of punishment (I think he should've missed a Test, it's a clear breaking of the rules and apparently his previous indiscretion is too long ago to count? Weird.) the South Africans have been pork chops about this whole thing. The boys in arms media conference with Amla was the worst. Why try to play circus games with the Australian media, when they host the most amount of clowns per head in any industry anywhere in the world?
Yeah, totally...he clearly broke the laws. They have their right to deny there was intent. But to stage that insane press conference, it created the situation where that bozo media clown was thrusting mics at Faf. South Africa created the situation they now find themselves declaring their unease with.
But hey, maybe it's the circus world cricket needs. Australia can't compete on field, make a show out of the off-field stuff. I absolutely love it, incidentally. The way that Faf swaggers around, chewing new bags of lollies, smirking at every turn and checking himself out in every window he can get himself near enough to, it's great viewing. I just think it's nuts for SA to have a psycho security man, a media adviser who tells them to play the us against the world card at a presser, then to say they're disappointed by it all.

Yeah i suppose you cant blame them when we keep seeing certain other players getting away with it or threaten to cancel tours if someone dares to call out some of their players.
