This dude thinks sachin removing an obvious stuck grass blade is the same level as systematic tampering over a long time. SMH

Some here are making the excuse that SRT was removing grass from the ball. Maybe that is true. But videos don't portray what the player's motive is. It only shows what happened. He had long finger nails like a lady and that increased the suspicion. In the other case, Dravid accepted the match fine without making a fuss. He can also claim that he was not making a deliberate alteration to the ball aka tampering. But he chose the high road and didnt complain and took it on the chin.

 

In Smith's case, he was doing it with deliberate intent or atleast showed poor leadership so that Warner and Sandcroft could take over. He paid his dues and let him return to cricket. He can also tell everyone that Warner started it like a child and get away with it. He didn't and accepted full responsibility. Unlike some little big man, he didn't whine and create a controversy.

What an effing disgraceful desicion to appoint Steve Smith as captain of an IPL 

 

A captain who sanctioned systematic ball tampering 

Last year RR didn't play him for same reason and just after his ban has ended he is back as captain. Not surprised though, as someone mentioned it is a perfect combination - a previously banned team has a previously banned captain. The standards are low. The management too are okay with such leaders captaining RR. Fair enough in their views but imo this is a very bad move to have a cheater as a captain.

There is no excuse as ICC itself cleared sachin. But pak fans like you have always lied about the incident

Nothing can be more disgraceful than your own getting suspended for spot fixing. That both proven fixing teams in IPL - CSK and RR were allowed back in the league is in itself a disgrace, can't expect them to do any better.

Csks guy was caught betting with team combination. Rr had players spot fixing. Get your facts right.

Precisely. I am not amazed at this fake moral outrage here the guy served his time and is a player if there is a problem dont play him lol. I would say Smith did take resposibility and did not cry and ask his board to support him and help him out of the predicament.

While I think RR could have waited for the next season or may have waited till Australia reinstated him as the captain but I dont think it's a big issue especially considering RRs position atm and their meek captain rahane going down the gutter 

Considering RR's position, the move was inevitable.. Only problem with that is Smith may not be available after Apr 26. All Aussie/Eng world cup players return. They have to go back to Rahane again

He lied about mayippan ....who was found guilty .

Mayeppan was a part of team management and he called him just an enthusiast to save his ass. 

 

 

Meiyappan was to be seen in every team meeting of CSK. What a noble person he is to just indulge in betting with the kind of info he was privy to. :phehe: Ye to Kaliyug ka Raam hai :adore:
