Know the feeling of "it never happening again" makes me glad I've seen one (1997)
Nice one FH, enjoy.

Never say never again, Aled. Glam may get back up there some day.

After a long time in the doldrums, it was pretty good. What was best about it is that it was a real team effort, from a (mostly) homegrown group of players.

Yes the home grown talent has been highlighted on the Radio last week. Good for Essex.

Better luck next time England! Maybe Messrs Willis,Botham,Gower,Gooch et al could be coaxed out of retirement.But then we have Chappeli,Lillee,Thommo,Border and even the long dead Don{Bradman aka God}waiting for the call.I love cricket.

Who would have thought it,the Australians are cheats! At last the truth is out,the Aussies were always the 'kings' of gamesmanship ,it was common knowledge that they were allowed to get away with it.Remember the underarm last ball v New Zealand in 1981?These so called 'tactics',became the benchmark for others to follow.Steve Smith is a brilliant batsman,so why has he sunk so low to resort to cheating? Maybe he was influenced by his vice captain Warner[now there is a cheating arsehole if ever there was one...]

It's been going on for years, yes, but the comical thing is that they were so bad at doing it this time that they got so easily caught out. Somewhat amazed that Lehmann has got off.

Yeah,it looks like Lehmann will remain as Head Coach,but for how long?If what was reported is true,it was Lehmann who alerted Bancroft,the 'perp' with the sandpaper stuffed inside his jock strap ,that he had been caught cheating,with a few expletives added! How could someone close to the Aussie team not have any inkling as to what was going on? This isn't over by a long chalk.Will Sandpapergate bring down the Australian government?If not then surely the Aussie cricketing hierarchy.
