What a joke. This is all being orchestrated to get these guys back in the team before the India series, and get some bureaucrats - who were sitting in Australia thousands of miles away when the sandpaper came out - to now carry the can.

The players were 'scapegoats'(?) I don't think I've heard anything more ridiculous. This is like hearing that the bloke who stabbed an 80 year old in a frenzied attack was 'failed by the system'.

Should have been a lengthy ban for the elaborate and ridiculous lies that were told about yellow pieces of tape and granules of dirt, let alone the cheating itself.

Lets also absolve the Chappell's for underarm while we are at it. It must have been some pen-pusher in an office somewhere that made them do it. Or were they also 'failed by the system'(?)

Dyer from the ACA is a notorious cheat himself. He's the guy who claimed a catch in a test match when the ball was rolling along the carpet and he swiped it up. Was he also failed by the current incarnation of Cricket Australia(?) Unlikely, since his blatant cheating occurred in 1989.

Unless I've missed it haven't seen anyone on this thread suggest they were scapegoats and try and suggest they shouldn't be penalised - this is about the Hughes issue
As for the Chappels, they don't have to be absolved of anything. An underarm bowl was perfectly legal at the time, but let's not let facts get in the way of a bit of hysteria.....................
