Regarding the Du Plessis LBW, i thought it would come back as umpires call. Good review from Dave Warner.
Look guys cheating or no cheating wont discount south Africa has been the better team for most sessions and should and will win this test match and the series. We have to learn from these losses so we can be the number 1 test team again. If I were a young batsman in Australia is be liking my lips as there are opening spots in the team. Paine has been good but not sold on him. Probably because I was in the era when I've seen gilcrist in action. Young Fast bowlers should learn the art of reverse swing from seeing Rabada. You dont even have to be super quick ala philander. So its not all doom and gloom.
Follow associate cricket. Far less drama, far better contests.

Smith going off has been a masterstroke, crazy review from the sub Captain and then a catch from the subfielder.

Bowlers cant learn to reverse swing. Its all about the ball.
Who's the sub?
Could limit the deficit to 350.

All tampering is a team plan but you can never prove it, this isn't a court of law where Bancroft pleads to a lesser charge and testifies against his superiors.

I think that's a bit of an overreaction.

We're the bad guys because we just cheated by tampering with the ball. Amazing that anyone is looking at angles to deflect the obvious.
Doesn't matter. Cheating is cheating.
Bancroft and Smith should both be suspended. He didn't hatch this up on his own

It was just a lolly paper. I always put the paper in my jocks once I eat the lolly.
Hard to prove otherwise unless they strip search him.
Guilty as hell though. Pretty disgusting in my view.
Can we get Rabadas lawyer for Bancroft. If anyone can get him off it will be him.

So Lehmann sent Handscomb out to the pitch to hand Bancroft the item that bancroft used on the ball?
He picked Bancroft because he likely wont be picked after this tour?
the sacrificial lamb !

No, let him hang. He cheated. End of story.
How do you prove it though?
G Smith who is very vocal attacking Bancroft wasn't suspended when faf used his zipper but surely that was Smith telling him to do it but how can you prove it?

Nope
Little different to being loaded on drugs
No issue aussies being forced to forfeit here
Can't believe South Africa will be able to take the moral high ground after this match/series.
