Lol at 1 year ban. Kohli, Warner, Smith and Du Plessis were caught doing the same thing on camera. Guess who got charged?

Umpires did not even change the ball. They can't possibly ask Bancroft to strip and show what he's hiding.
What did Kohli, Warner and Smith use to tamper the ball?

Course it is planned. A player won't go out and ball tamper off their own idea, it is a team plan all along. Every team in history that has been caught have done it as a team plan as was this.
I don't think Afridi getting the hangries was a team plan. He simply confused the ball with an apple.

All this time we've been shitting on the Aussies on the forums for being #CheatingAussies and they tried to defend themselves and act as tho we were exaggerating and trolling.

LOOK. JUST LOOK AT THAT. YOU GUYS ARE ****ING CHEATS.

now all I've seen is spikey's Twitter clip so I don't really know what's happening, but if the CW Podcast taught us anything it's that you don't need to watch cricket to be able to talk about cricket.

It's a 5 run penalty or something isn't it?

Pretty sure plenty of teams have done this but it is rather satisfying that Australia's been caught. Cummins stepping on the ball doesn't seem that accidental now either..
What do you mean by 'caught'?
No 5 run penalty has been granted nor have the umpires officially rebuked anyone, nor have they changed the ball. These are all stuff they do when they actually charge one of the Non Big 3 teams.

Honestly do you ever tire of posting about the whole big 3 vs the rest shtick?

The atmosphere will be interesting when the Aussie openers go out to bat in the 2nd innings. Probably the 2 most hated foreigners in South Africa at this present moment.

Impressive how they've taken a photo of him that isn't from this match, but managed anyway to capture the "I'm shoving sandpaper down my crotch" expression

Oz pushing their 3 main quicks hard today... Very little Lyon and Marsh (but Marsh has hardly bowled this whole series...)
