What a bunch of dickheads. Should be charged with assault.

 

[shniko11]

But but but the South Africans clearly told the media to stay away!
Lol i'm not sure the media works that way.

Charge the thug..

They have always been arrogant campaigners -it's their culture over there

Phwoar, don't read the comments on Amla's twitter.

So much Indian and South African hate towards Aussies.

I laugh at the Indian fans and Indian cricket. They rival FIFA and IOC as the most corrupt pieces of shit around.

Too late.

wow !

maybe a wee bit of a generalisation there

We don't have too many problems with the SAFFAS and we've been playing rugby against them for 100 years

I still think Faf should get suspended. Against laws and spirit of the game

Personally sick of this type of reporters, theyre not journalists, sense of entitlement. You're not doing a public service getting in a sportsman's face. He isn't a public servant or elected official we don't have the right to demand answers whenever/wherever we want. just piss off already.


Haven't watched the footage but I did once stay at a holiday inn.

Du Plessis hearing brought forward to before the next test.

Haddin also proves how much of an idiot he is by commenting that it wasn't intentional because "the onfield umpires didn't see it".


Thats arse backwards Hads you twit.

Bullshit!

We should have a direct line to these guys.

Particularly when Dream Team is involved.



I am joking

 

[Firestarter]

Faf fined.

Anticlimactic.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

"SOUTH Africa’s captain Faf du Plessis has been found guilty of ball tampering but is free to play the third Test in Adelaide, thanks to an ICC rule quirk."


Isn't it funny how when someone does something wrong but threatens to kick up a stink a "quirk" pops up that lets them off while still appearing to get a whack.

Should just make ball tampering legal.

Lollies, sun cream, sand paper, hydrochloric acid, whatever.

Do your best.

I don't think I've read a worse article about sport since the time I read Erin Riley's thoughts on attending a swans grand final.

Riddled with assumption and flat out incorrect claims.

 

[Nate7]

The ICC (and other associations) constantly tell us how serious ball tampering is, yet Faf is fined a little over $2000.
When a team has a slow over rate, their captain is fined an almost identical figure for a first offence in a set period, so yeah ball tampering = slow over rate seriousness.
Turkeys!

 

[Zondor]

Is this the same ICC that has allowed a chucker / flicker to claim the Test record for most wickets? Should we have expected any different? :stern look

 

[giantroo]

And now he is appealing the fine.

And now he is appealing the fine.

Realistically I guess everyone would.
