Is this the most obvious Aussie cheating? If not, what is it??

[Robelinda]

Langer was charged - then later cleared - with misconduct, Shane Warne's record quest was derailed, and Australia had to overcome a narrow first-innings deficit after an arduous third day's play at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club. Seeking to seal a historic 3-0 series win in Sri Lanka, the Australians were dealt several telling blows on Friday - not least Langer's grade-one charge of "bringing the game into disrepute". In a bizarre incident, Langer brushed and dislodged a bail midway through the 80th over of Sri Lanka's innings, an action he later described as unintentional. After left-handed batsman Hashan Tillakaratne completed a single to fine-leg, Australia's fieldsmen crossed the pitch in preparation for the right-handed Thilan Samaraweera. Langer walked between the wicket and Samaraweera and broke the stumps with his hand. Later, Australian captain Ricky Ponting asked umpires Steve Bucknor and Dave Orchard about the fallen bail, but neither had seen Langer as he crossed the pitch. Accordingly, Bucknor and Orchard stopped play for three minutes while the matter was taken to third umpire Peter Manuel. Manuel ruled Tillakaratne not out. A reportedly upset Langer consulted team manager Steve Bernard during the lunch break, claiming to have been unaware that he was responsible for dislodging the bail. Bernard immediately relayed Langer's sentiments to ICC match referee Chris Broad who, after receiving a report from the umpires at tea, charged the West Australian with a code of conduct breach. Broad later decided Langer had made an innocent mistake. However, he reminded the batsman to take more care in similar situations in the future.

I saw this live and there was no way Langer didn't know what was going on there!

Clarke claiming Ganguly's catch in the infamous Sidney Test changed the course of the series. That one will stick for a long long time :((

Ganguly claiming Gilchrist's catch in the 2003 ODI WC final will also stick in my memory. :--D Watch out for Gilchrist's reply :wink2: eoc_RqY6yws

The most hilarious cheating incident was when Sahibzada Afridi opened his mouth wide for the seam :hysterical:

That is just a moment's exuberation. After that he saw Bhajji's reaction and had a sheepish smile on his face. :winky: Clarke, on the other hand, claimed the catch, did a lot of nautanki, and Ganguly had to go and India lost subsequently

3:08 on the Langer video, you cant tell me Langer did that by accident.

Here's another moment thing by Ganguly. :D iOtnPkiiiME Oh btw, the worst one by Clarke was not the catch but when he stood ground as he edged to first slip. Even the Aussie commentators laid into him for that gesture. uvsafT5tNJ4

:giggle: Did you see the Gilly vs Chandila :fight: recently. Something similar, though not quite the same. @ the comments beneath the Clarke video.
