[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 951342, member: 40658"] No, That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that in some cases the players didn't know that what they are doing, are a breach of the rules. Therefore it wasn't a deliberate scheme. Take Faf du Plessis as an example. He did it twice, and on both occasions he appealed the ruling, and in the one instance he even got a lesser sentence after the appeal. In this case it wasn't a matter of contention to conceal, but rather that the act was against the rules. Which he then acknowledged. Under protest. Again true, but as stated above, in some cases the act wasn't deemed an offense by the player that did the "ball tampering" to some extent. I agree that what CA did the right thing. But don't brush every offender or team with the same comb. South Africa for example also have a very intense process to handle such incidents. Take the Hansie Cronje saga, and most recently the local match-fixing scandal where 2 Protea players have been banned for life from cricket. within the ethical parameters. Again, that's not what I'm saying. Take the Saliva issue. You are allowed to use your spit to polish the ball. but it's now clear that you shouldn't have something else in your mouth which will affect the amount of salive being produced, or the ball itself. What is an interesting thing to note, is that after Du Plessis' second incident, the ICC started to look at the harsher punishments for ball tampering. Not only that, they launched an investigation into their own rulings, in order to give more clarity on certain issues with regard to ball tampering. [/QUOTE]
