Dark, dark type Day.

Awoke this morning to a dark, dark type day here sadly. Switched on the TV & on the news it was all about the aussies caught cheating in the cricket over in South Africa etc with tampering with the ball. Excuse was     they just wanted to win as such, going by our captain there      . I just put it down to the heritage factor as an excuse, seeing as we are bred down from a bunch of crook types here I'm    200 odd years ago sort of thing .

Knackered,
I doubt very mutch if there is one sport where some individuals
do not cheat.

I, and I am sure you and our like cannot understand their mentality, for one thing, if they win they know it is by cheating, and what possible pleasure could they get from doing so.

I would rather come last than first by cheating.

However, there are several fanciers I would not trust as far as I could throw them and some hold quite a bit of weight.


Regards.

My thoughts exactly.

Unfortunately - Humans are only out for themselves a lot of the time and if they can find a way 'Around the Rules', they will.

In the F1 world, they pay people hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds a year to 'Cheat'. They call it "Stretching the Envelope" or "Exploiting the Rules", but at the end of the day - it is CHEATING.

There we have it - humans will be humans and along with that, you will get the occasional cheat!

in cricket they have always done it just not so blatant , sticky sweets,sharpe fingernails
dirt in pockets.... the aussies taught us all

True Phil I suggest in regards to the formula one scenario . Utter disgrace at times how they manipulate the result to get a certain result in a team there. Blatant cheating even if it is within the rules as such & would/has never passed the pub test, test etc I'm     .

Talk about sticking the boots in FW  when the whole country here "bar a few" are looking for a rock to hide under etc . Going cheap, cheap 1 cricket coach & 12 pretenders as such any offer, no matter how small just happy to accept .

Over at loft, ybs out.... Got me protection ready

all in, happy with them.............(so far )

True 35 odd years thou since the under arm ball fiasco the Chapple brothers bowled against New Zealand etc here FW & its still a talking point & that was a legal delivery as such back then. Warner & Smith I'm took the spirit of the sport of cricket to a whole new level I suggest & their grand kids sadly will feel the ramifications by what my bones here are telling me unfortunately.

It would be interesting to know just what goes through a persons mind when they know they have only won by cheating, what pleasure can they get?

Regards.
