Have England ended the Test careers of Bancroft and Khawaja?
khawaja was on borrowed time as it was.

Bancroft needs more time and chances.

Much better than renshaw who can’t buy a run in domestic cricket.

To be fair, bancroft would likely have a test century under his belt if england had made more runs in brisbane, no excuses for khawaja though..

Why do the media of our own country feel the need to ride our own national side into the dirt?
They’ve been at it any time one of the players smells a pint of lager and now I open the bbc news (not even the sport section this was number 1 story) and they are ball tamperers now despite the fact if you have a quick read they’ve spoken to umpire Kumar and he is completely happy with what’s gone on

Not for the first time mr Anderson has been caught ball tampering on tv. He's got away with it a few times in the past as I recall. Im sure if a pakistan bowler had done it he would've been blasted for it and banned.

He was removing something from the shiny sides seam, something most of us do on a weekly basis when grass/dirt gets caught in it.

England were tampering with the ball by throwing it in on the bounce as much as possible, something the Ozzies also did all day.

It's part of the game, every team does it to get a ball to reverse, and if they don't... more fool them!

Move on!

Dude, if you believe you scratch the shiny side with your nail to get swing, then have you even played cricket?
Thats the side your trying to protect!

Still changing the condition of the ball isn't it. Yes i've seen the video of it being the shiny side, but laws are laws. Don't see why we have a different set for english players.
I for one agree with vaughan (for once) and think the ICC should allow tampering. Would even out the difference between bat and ball a little more

Did none of you listen to the comms, he was trying to repair part of the ball that had a chunk hanging off of it. Replay you could see he was trying to press it back down into place with his nail. Was hardly scratching away at it with his nail was he

The complaint was for throwing ball into turf

No complaint for what Anderson was doing as did most of it in front of umpires

Same set of rules for all but if someone was messing with the ball like that for Pakistan Waquar and wasim would have sorted them way before the umpires just like they did when saqlain was moistening the rough side with spinning finger and a word was had

Yes I know I’ve spelt names wrong

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.
