Cheat, blub, sledge

SIR – The Australian cricketing icons caught bang to rights cheating in an indisputably premeditated move are now pictured on television blubbing like babies.

It’s not great for the image of Australian manhood, but it could come in very useful when they next start sledging.

SIR – Making new cricket balls rough on one side and smooth on the other would save all the bother on and off the field.
