A lengthy ban sends a message to others who are doing this too.  If the ICC is going to make an effort to clean this up, making an example of people who get caught red-handed is a good way to start.

They should have done it earlier. They never did this to Michael Atherton, Sachin, Waqar Younis, Dravid, Marcus Trescothick, Broad, Anderson, du Plessis and 'The Master of Ball Tampering' Afridi (He got hungry and ate the ball). So, it seems unfair now.

Change has to start somewhere.

But why here?

If you don't start when someone is caught on live TV, when are you going to start?

They should have banned them for 2-3 months and after that they should have devised the punishment for ball tampering. That would have been fair.

I say a lengthily ban is right! Because even if they say ball tampering is a "small" offense it still is cheating and in cricket or any other sport cheating is unacceptable and should have a big punishment.

rishikeshwaran

Many cricketers cheated in the past. But they never got lengthy bans. du Plessis did it thrice but he never got a lengthy ban. 

thegreatauk

Yes, but that being said he should have...

For staff, it presumably depends on the job.  Moderators are unpaid volunteers, although we do get free diamond membership.

i was wondering if you are able to resolve an issue at cc MGleason , namely football , as you know this is a game played by 2 teams 11 a side with the intent to score goals generally with the foot , however there seems to be some confusion as many at cc think picking up a ball like a rugby ball running two yards and getting jumped on by 10 other players is football . im hoping you can help resolve this unnecessary confusion as even threats to invade havent worked in sorting this out so i could do with your calm reasoning to get ccers to stop calling nfl football , thanks

 The sport that is played with the foot is football.

The sport where only one person on the team ever uses their feet is American Rugby.

Uh... two people (kicker and punter) use their feet... and we call it American Football! happy.png

MGleason

Kicker, punter, whatever.

They're also such wimps that they have to wear big pads, and they have to stop and rest every few seconds.  And nobody plays more than about half the game; they have a totally different team for offence and defence.

You should send a note to @jdcannon saying that it should be a salary of $0, multiplied by 38 or 1/38 based on bans and mutes, or multiplied by 13 or 1/13 instead of 2 or 1/2 wink.png

I have the blue pawn instead of the diamond icon.

Andrea

What is the difference between the green and the blue pawn? Are other colours also present?

(except a red pawn as the red ink is off)

 

rishikeshwaran

Green pawn indicates a staff and blue pawn indicates a moderator.
