Well is it just me or has the Australian media done it again? I know that this ball tampering thing is not on and is cheating but does the punishment fit the crime? Apparently in the past other national teams (not Australian) have been caught tampering with the ball and the guilty players end up with a loss of one match payment or a game off as punishment. The problem with Australia, is the power of the friggin media. They most cases they choose who is elected to govern, Who gets the job of party leaders and when was the last time anyone but these arseholes actually decided that a cricket captain needed to be replaced or picked a new captain for the Aussie cricket team. These blokes have done the wrong thing but it shouldn't be up to Tracy Grimshaw or Alan jones or any of the other parasites in the media to decide their fate, and like it or not they do. The embarrassment they feel should almost be punishment enough. But these fellers have lost their place in the team, millions of dollars in payments and indorsements plus being paraded in front of cameras to publicly apologies to all of Australia I'm not a cricket fan, in fact I think they should all have a bat and ball to play with and that would relieve all the pressure.
