That is not enough. WI were playing well. Less rain, a dryer pitch and bit more spin for Dhanajaya was the ingredients for a win.

Agreed. If the Australians can't cheat and win then nobody else should be able to do it.......

I think Sri Lanka winning would have been disastrous as I said earlier. This was a good result for cricket. We need to stop taking wickets from no balls. It's unacceptable.
As for Cummins, he has been extremely disappointing and needs dropping. Short, slow and a lack of movement. He has lost pace since he started when he was a 140kph merchant. I would play Keemo Paul instead personally as a skiddy medium fast swing and seam bowler who makes things happen and can bat.

I've seen it noted here how obvious no-balls aren't being called on the field, and yet there was also one called on a wicket that was actually fine. Has anyone else come to the conclusion that the umpires really just aren't paying attention to them anymore, for whatever reason?

Didn't we have a discussion about this a year ago or so? I can't remember exactly. But the concensus was that umpires feel (right or wrong) they do not need to pay attention as much, as missed no-balls will be corrected, if a wicket is taken of it. I think that's fair enough, but I remember from that discussion, there is no concensus on it.
As for an umpire calling a no-ball, that actually is a fine delivery..... Well, human errors.... But imho, that justifies the idea that umpires do not have to pay attention to no-balls at all. Unless a bowler deliberately tries to intimidate the batsman.

Hey I didn't make that 'Ask *****' thread
They aren't going to admit to ball tampering!
I will certainly take the word of the umpires personally.

Chandimal found guilty of altering the ball and has been suspended for next test. As I said before, I don't want anyone who is a cheat representing my country. I hope the board bans him.. he shames the reputation of the entire country by doing this..

Time for a change of captain? Not only has he shamed his home nation, but he arguably cost SL a win with all of that protesting.

Yea I wouldn't mind if a player/team I supported tampered the ball -that's only natural really- the bigger issue for me is holding the game up this way
Should take a note out of Faf's book - tamper the ball, get caught, don't argue it, cop the 1 match suspension from the ICC, smile it off, return and tamper it again. Easy.

Yes. After this, he shouldn't be the captain of an international team.
Depends on the board though; Faf still captains SA, and they seem to be quite happy about it.
