Not sure why BCCI has to get involved???

 

Who will be the replacement players for SRH and RR

 

I guess SRH could sign Guptill, good T20 opener to replace Warner

 

RR could maybe get Root or Eoin Morgan. 

PR issue. They can't afford the bad publicity.

Guptill scored a T20 ton in last T20 series he played. He is in very good T20 form.

 

Why would K11P get replacement.

i meant for middle order for RR, klaasen is a good choice.  Guptill/ronchi or even kusal perera are decent prospects for either RR or SRH

 

For KXIP i'm just hopeful they rope in klaasen from a fan's point of view,  i think klasen in the middle order is likely to have more impact than miller.

@rkt.india

It is kinda crazy you keep saying "anything" is ok for winning, and condoning cheating. That's utter trash.

(Not abt this particular ban, but just the philosophy of yours is so wrong).

THey will get an able replacement which is better than like to like replacement.

Well they have to do 100 hours community service so I can understand if that's their number 1 priority besides laying low for 6 months.

over-reaction is warranted from their perspective. Australian cricket board is one of the board is supposed to set an example for other teams. Unfair practices need punishment that set an example for others. Now they know. Even Smith , Warner were not spared. So we shouldn't do this.

Who made them the custodian?  This argument is almost like USA is a beacon of liberty and freedom for the rest of the world.

Who the phuck cares about tamasha kirkut? Smith and Warner are so pathetic that even corrupt India is shunning them! Shouldn't Phuck de India be embracing them?

Two cheaters less in IPL. Lesser the better.

[Pak_cric]

I wonder if PSL will pursue them now lolll

[Temujin Khaghan]

Only reason they took a tough stand is huge cry from Australians and their hypocrisy being exposed. Not because they want to set an example for the rest of the teams. Does anyone seriously believe only three people knew about it. Does anyone believe it was the first time like Smith said? Had they really been honest in their investigation?

Well unless we know for sure we cannot speculate. Now all teams will have to follow this. A series, test win will last in the history forever. So unfair practices should be exposed and punished. John Lever used vaseline in 1977. Now 41 years gone by. Still they are doing this. Because there is not enough punishment.

Amla needs to be signed to replace Warner. He is a good opener. 

Amla has county contract. He signed it after no team picked him in IPL.

Cause they now know that they can make them cheat for money? 

I joke, I joke, PSL's doing a fine job on cracking down on cheats.

 

RR has a good replacement captain, who will it be for SRH? Can't think that Dawhan will make a good captain. They have 3 international captains in the team atm and I personally think that K Williamson should be their new leader.

[chewy]

Good move by IPL, no tolerance for cheats

[Brainfade]

I agree.  They should've retained them but ordered their hotels to replace their toilet rolls with sandpaper.
