It is certain agaisnt the rules of the game and whoever it may be how big player may be action will be taken against them. So was the case for Warner and Smith as proven guilty OZ have banned them for a year and letting everybody else know what the rsult could be if anyone try to do such things.

Of course, it is against the rule and perpetrator should face the consequences no matter what. btw ICCI rule is 5-6 test match ban if someone gets caught or found guilty on the accusation of ball tampering. that's why I mentioned One year is way too long period and no other board will do the same what CA did on the Sandpapergate saga.

Believe or not Ball tempering has always been a big part of test cricket. before we had a few cameras on the ground now every move is monitored and it's completely different from Spot fixing. Make no mistake to mixing them up together.

Wait! so are you trying to justify cheating? Spot-fixing = Cheating, Tampering the ball = Cheating. Why is it hard for you to grasp this simple concept?

One year ban is a very long period but CA took a tough and bold decision in this ball-tempering Saga due to backlash in Aus.

Wow, I mean Amir got banned for 5 years for a single ball which didn't even matter in the match's scenario while Smith and Warner did something which could have turned the match in their favor, How is the first offence more punishable than the second?

Can you imagine the same thing happening in India if Virat Kohli gets caught in the same situation? Big No from BCCI even ECB or CSA.

Yeah, how can I imagine that, Roll Eyes

Where Spot-Fixers were let off from the courts in india. I get it betting is a big business in India but please don't try to justify either of them.

No idea why you suddenly jumped into the conclusion that I am justifying Cheating. I am not. Spot-fixing and Ball tampering are two different things. Spot-fixing and Match Fixing come under Anti-corruption code and Ball tampering come under Fair and unfair play. Both are cheating? Yes, but same? No.

If you have something substantial comment to add here or want me to correct, then please do so, you are more than welcome. I will accept my mistakes, more importantly, will correct them but please don't jump into any conclusion. We are here for discussion and learn something not to put each other down.

I understand you didn't know about this Anti-corruption code that's why you are talking about Amir. Did it ever occur to you why Southwark Crown Court, England sentenced him 6 months? Yes, you heard it right Court. After that Ban followed by ICCI. Now let me ask you that have you ever come across any case in cricket history where Player got punished by Court because of Ball-tampering? The answer is No.

Please reread the context when I mentioned Virat as an example. I was talking about Ball tampering, not spot-fixing, I understand that there will be a strong reaction if Virat gets caught in the same situation as the Aussie players did but Board will slap him on the wrist with maximum 5-6 test match ban, but one year ban? I don't think so.
