I love Freddy.
Salt of the earth.

The only difference with the sandpaper was it was so ****ing obvious.
Looked pretty dumb.

There has been clear evidence of biting, spiking, dirt rubbing, sugar coating ..
They were all doing it.

If the Australian media didn't beat it up so much I doubt cricket Australia would have come in so hard.
If they hadn't been made an example of I doubt it would even get brought up English & Indian supporters..

Steve crying just made it stick out even more.

He was an ashes warrior.
Nothing like that Stuart Broad Nancy boy or that ton of lard Bairstow.
Don't even get me started on their imported turncoats such as KP, Stokes & Archer..

Didn't need to name names, but to distance himself from it (the extent) is just soft.

I've always believed that they got 2weeks for ball tampering and 50 weeks for being dumb.

The lengthy bans were done to protect Cricket Australia’s image and no other reason. The TV deal was about to expire at the time as were some big money sponsorships.

The incident threatened to cost Cricket Australia millions if they didn’t somehow find a way to make solely a few players look like the bad guys.

Real cricket fans knew that ball tampering was rife in the game at the time and that the ICC penalties for ball tampering didn’t suggest they thought it was a massive issue. Compare match fixing penalties and ball tampering for example. The media beat up made it into something it never was before Sandpapergate.
