effected by their notorious kiwi neighbours. Don't you all think the current cricket debacle proves this?

First, it was the doping and now it is cheating. New Zealand's influence knows no bounds...  

They are really stupid, do they not realize that there are cameras?

I suspect there were also ball-tampering in the first test before Markram was out in the second innings and I am sure that Smith contrived that incident involving Rabada in an effort to weaken the Proteas in the third test.

Denny said I was unfair to Smith - one wonders what he thinks now after the debacle yesterday.  .

Balls (no pun intended)...Rabada changed his angle and gave Smith a tap with his shoulder. This thing has been escalating since Starc bowled to de Bruyn I believe, before the first test. Then the run out ball dropping, Warner/Quinton spat and the Rabada shoulder charge, banning and banning release. The Aussies were hot to trot to win the test, saw it slipping away when they couldn't break through and went to Plan B. It's an Oscar Pistorius moment.

Sorry - but you are talking crap about the Rabada incident - look at the video again and see that Rabada was going to his team mates and not looking at Smith at all.  Why was Smith not walking to the pavilion after dismissal and walked towards where Rabada was going and why was his shoulder going forward during the incident if he was not the aggressor.  If he was not the offender his shoulder would not have been going the way it did.

If Rabada was guilty - why did the ICC Judicial Commission find him not guilty - the fine imposed was for an incident in the first innings and had nothing to do with the Smith-Rabada incident.  

By the way - one of the placards at the match today was stating - "You can buy yellow sandpaper from me".

...so you can kill someone by aiming a bouncer at his head but brushing shoulders with another player is a punishable offence...seems fair...
