Re: Cricket World Cup - Has Australia Been Punished Enough?
As an English cricket fan I absolutely agree with all you have said. It was a disgraceful time for Australian cricket but the punishment has been served and Warner and Smith reinstated. Where I slightly disagree is that I have watched every match so far and have heard the booing but thought that it had lessened on the whole by yesterday's match. However, when the crowd did boo Smith yesterday and Kohli became involved, it was the Indian fans to whom he was addressing I think, not the English ones. They were a very boisterous crowd as ever when India play. That was my reading of the situation anyway.Re: Cricket World Cup - Has Australia Been Punished Enough?

It's not a new thing for sportsmen to get booed forever and a day, it happens in football all the time and is all part of the game played by fans trying to put the other team off. Unfortunately, cricket is becoming more and more rowdy, in fact as a nation we are more aggressive than we have ever been.Re: Cricket World Cup - Has Australia Been Punished Enough?
I'm not particularly a cricket fan so I don't know the answer to this but are the perpetrators still in the team?Re: Cricket World Cup - Has Australia Been Punished Enough?
I agree with Keezoy on this! Yes it was a sad mistake but they paid for it. Let it go now. Like Keezoy I have always been a keen fan of cricket, played for Auckland Secondary schools and while i was in England I played for the Brighton Arrows and my father played for the Royal Navy. It was always my favourite sport and is the most complicated game I know of. A bit like chess on grass.Re: Cricket World Cup - Has Australia Been Punished Enough?
