Thought that was a ridiculous thing they were on about. He trapped the ball, big deal.

Strange, I seem to remember Cronje geting nailed for the same thing.
Of course poms don't cheat. I heard that from Atherton.

I think the Saffie batsmen were ball-tampering, well it was bound to get scuffed up by them hitting it that hard and often.

Over at PakPassion they are going nuts, saying how Broad must be banned else it's racist against Pakistanis.

Not saying for certain that he wasn't cheating, but if he was then it was a pretty shit attempt, trapping the ball like that would have done nothing, should have stamped on it harder if cheating was his aim.taipan wrote:Strange, I seem to remember Cronje geting nailed for the same thing.

So either, he didn't cheat or he did but he's really shit at it.

Of course no Pakistani bowler ever, ever ball-tampered. Perish the thought.

I'll bow to your greater knowledge on that one. Was it as hopelessly inept as Broad's? Seems to me he just did what most of us have done at some point without thinking about it. I doubt he would be so stupid as to try to cheat in full public view though, and if he was trying to, it didn't bloody work did it? Presumably the umpires had a good look at the ball.

Hard as it is to think that Cronje was ever innocent....

Cronje ... bless him, the cheating little bas*ard!
If Broad's thinking of emulating him, he'd better get to know a few Bombay Bookies first. Crass and stupid perhaps, what with 20 TV cameras on the action/non action at any given time, he'd be brain dead if he thought he'd get away with it.
Put it down to ignorance on his part.

Match referee should just search Broad's hotel room for any new leather jackets if they think he's guilty.

All I would say to the South African's is- Look at the f*cking scoreboard, realise your position in this match, and let it slide.

SO cheating is okay if you are losing.

This from the forumer who said he doesn't like to see cheating c*nts on a cricket pitch? Your hypocrisy is showing.Henry wrote:All I would say to the South African's is- Look at the f*cking scoreboard, realise your position in this match, and let it slide.

I'm begiining to think the subis might have a point for once.

Sky showed pictures of him with two hands on the ball, the top hand seemingly legitimately shining the ball and movement of the bottom hand on the seam/rough side but it's obscured by the top but frankly there's nothing to go on with those pics.
The second set of images show Anderson lightly 'stroking' the rough side of the ball with the tip of his fingers (not gauging or digging nails in) and then picking off a pertruding bit of leather off the ball.
The images are in slow motion and in itself look stupid and slightly dodgy but not tantamount to trying to gain an advantage by shredding the ball
