        And the verdict is in:
        Captain Steve Smith - 1 year ban
        Vice Captain David Warner - 1 year ban
        Bowler Cameron Bancroft - 9 month ban

        In addition, Smith and Bancroft will have an additional 12 months before they can seek a team leadership position. Warner will never be considered again.

        All 3 must perform 100 hours of community service in cricket.

          What is community service in cricket?

                  Re: The Cricket Thread

                  AB de Villiers (South African batsman) has announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket.

                  ****. The man had a way with the bat and was just see viewing when his turn came.

                    One has to be impressed with the British empire just dueto the fact that their former colonies play cricket (outside the US of course)

                    Though mookie has taken a liking to watching. The IPL has cheerleaders after all. And even this test now with pak and eng is entertaining
                    a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

                      Re: The Cricket Thread

                      Yesterday Chennai (Madras) won the Indian Premier League (T20) over Hyderabad.

                      And Pakistan slaughtered England in a Test match that used up about half of the allotted 5 days.

                      Good day for cricket.

                            Thanks. I was wondering how they're performing without Smith, Bancroft, and everyone involved in the cheating scandal.

                              Well, England returned the favour to the tourists, whipping Pakistan by an innings and 55 runs. The two test series was drawn 1-1.

                              BTW an innings and X runs means you won while batting only once and you opponent in their two innings of batting fell X runs short of your total.

                              In other words, you got whupped.

                              Next up for England- Scotland for One Day International (ODI).
