#Sandpapergate: Reactions to misconduct
Toby Shapshak @shapshak So Kagiso Rabada gets 2-match ban for being too enthusiastic & "bumping" Steve Smith's shoulder. Bancroft tampers with ball, is fined 75% match fee + 3 demerit points. Smith admits to a conspiracy to cheat (to f***ing cheat) & gets a 1-match ban + 100% fee. Really? #sandpaperGate
@annusoooni 2 match Ban on Rabada for his conflict with Warner. 1 match Ban on Smith for planning Ball tampering ? No ban on Bancroft who tampered the Ball ? Go home @ICC , You are drunk! #stevesmith #SandpaperGate #SAvAUS
@sameerijunaid #Cheaters Steve Smith and David Warner should be banned for life respectively following ball tampering incident – Cricket Australia #Cheaters
@AceJana @BCCI @ rajasthanroyals @SunRisers Steve Smith and David Warner have brought disrepute to the game with their attempted cheating at the #SAvsAUS test series. Allowing them to lead in the #IPL will add further disrepute to the game we all love. Kindly consider your choice of leader
@Mawandinho I feel like every batsman who's been since Warner & Bancroft hasnt looked like they're up for this innings. Confidence is shot. The whole lot of them. #SAvAus
@harbhajan_singh wow @ICC wow. Great treatment and FairPlay. No ban for Bancroft with all the evidences whereas 6 of us were banned for excessive appealing in South Africa 2001 without any evidence and Remember Sydney 2008? Not found guilty and banned for 3 matches.different people different rules
@ihassaanali @stevesmith49 being booed on a score of zero not out perfectly sums up the awkward situation he is gonna be in for the days to come! #SAvAUS #balltampering
@ache_din_ayenge roses are red violets are blue Aussies are the biggest cheater..I bet You all knew
@MichaelVaughan 1 Match Ban & 100 % Match fee Fine for Smith #ffs ... 75% match fee fine for Bancroft and some bloody De merit points for Bancroft ... Pathetic penalties for CHEATING ... Surely this moment was the time to set a precedent ... !!?? All the team should be penalised ..
@PeterBlunden Cannot recall a more devastating sporting scandal than what's unfolding here today. Australians despise cheats, and we would rather lose with dignity than win dishonestly. Go now.
