Faf du Plessis ball tampering

Don't say that Kashy otherwise Andy will be looking for you mate!

He is guilty, but there's very little you can do about ball tampering. At the moments, it's sweets, before it was zips, finger nails, foreign objects, sweat, stepping on the ball, biting the ball, bouncing the ball back instead of throwing it back. People will always find new ways of doing it.

Teams that are caught are cheats and teams that are not caught are innocent.

Well said Just True..

Lefty,

We should follow Admin's advice bro.. We all know about certain folks here so no need to get involved with them. I think filter is the best option and we don't have to see their comments nor respond even when other folks copy their comments..

will do

Lets be honest Australian batsmen have been shocking throughout the series and I very much doubt this made a massive difference. However there is clearly an attempt there at manipulating the ball - one match ban me thinks.

This has been going on for years, nothing new here, Du Plessis has just not been sly enough.

He deserves punishment for being so brazen.

Also, what was up with that declaration in this current test?

Who declares on the 1st day of a test match?

It was a very clever tactical declaration..just a shame it didn't really work. Warner had been off the field so couldn't come out to bat immediately. du Plessis saw the chance to bowl at the end of the day to two new openers.

It may have been a positive step and I do like that, but I think this was bordering on taking the pi55. I don't think he would've done if the series was still alive.

No of course not. Bit cocky after he got let off for the ball shining issue and think he just wanted to take the pi55 a bit.
