Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2921898, member: 1978"] I'm getting the feeling that Cricket Australia are going to try and manage this. Sending them home from tour is a strong public reaction as a start but then will come the investigation which probably will take months. By this time the furor will have dissipated. Then we will get a finding which I think will be 6 month suspension, backdated to the offence and only involves minimal lost cricket time. As I have said before cricket boards around the world have tolerated poor behavior for too long and have set the bar low with their inaction. The players have a fair argument that the difference between accepted ball tampering judgments and what has been mooted is too sever. I think it fair enough that the ACB set their own standards but is it ok when for years they have failed to be proactive and now there is a massive public outcry, they react. How culpable is the ACB in allowing the players to get to this point ? . It smacks of administrators covering their own bums and saving their highly paid jobs. None of this is to say the guilty players should get off lightly but IMO the clean out should be far reaching including at the least the coach and high performance manager Pat Howard because this problem has started from the top.
