![]() ![]() At the time, teammate Matthew Renshaw said of Labuschagne, that he would never live it down: "He's just a quite intense individual and tries his best in the field, but sometimes his brain fades and he forgets some rules.” ![]() It cost his team five penalty runs but not the match, which the Bulls won comprehensively. They were joined this time by supersub Marnus Labuschagne who in 2017, while playing for the Queensland Bulls, was the first to be penalised under cricket's fake fielding law when he pretended to have fielded a ball which ran past him. Still, our lot, Smith, Warner and Bancroft, will forever be known as the Sandpaper Three, at least in my house but they are not alone in their cheating, even in this Ashes squad. Afridi, the biter, was out for two T20 matches in 2010, the lolly wrappers du Plessis and Dravid fined. Internationally, punishments are usually small fines and one-match bans and then everyone goes back to ball-tampering and getting caught occasionally. Ball-tampering is a practice so renowned and historic that there is even a special International Cricket Council bylaw, known as “changing the condition of the ball”, which does not include what fast bowlers do to balls on a daily basis. I suppose we want to look like we are very very sorry. Yet so far, it’s only Australians who get suspended for a year. Even the booing English have done the dirty. Or South African Faf du Plessis, who loves his mints so much he rubbed them all over the ball, a trick also favoured by Rahul Dravid. Probably my favourite is ball-biter and genius all-rounder Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi, whose response to being caught was to say, everyone does it (probably true). Now I won’t say all cricketers are cheats but many. It certainly hasn’t deterred Smith and I doubt it’s what’s troubling Warner or Bancroft (they just need practice). If I had my way, England would also lose its host nation status of this glorious game since every second day it rains in England and it isn’t flexible enough to start the game earlier to try to catch up.Īnyhow, enough of the taste of the sweet, sweet – sweeeet - grapes of victorious victory, let us return to the booing.Ĭricketers are cheats and there is no point booing them.
