I played cricket as a junior was a handy in-swing bowler and I understand what was done ..... its interesting that in most major sports cheating is pretty normal, soccer player take dives abuse refs, rugby ..... cheating is SOP .... you test the ref all the time, same in NRL.....

So why is cricket different ?
My only real criticism is Australian hypocrisy, every country in cricket would have done ball tampering, the Australian's got caught as have other countries.

I don't personally feel shame or morally outraged as even at the mug level sport I played cheating is common practise. The problem for elite sports people they have dozens of cameras pointing at them, I played senior rugby in the main Sydney comp.... I cheated all the time especially in Line-outs ..... I used to get away with heaps no cameras to catch what the refs did not see. For me to be morally outraged would make me a hypocrite.

You rejecting truth is mise does not change it.
