My piece on how cricket administrators have allowed ball tampering for generations

Players had 2 presentations a year by Cricket Australia on match fixing highlighting 2 year ban. Ball tampering issue was skipped over mentioning 1 game ban. If CA were going to be so harsh, they should have let players know beforehand. If so, none of this would have happened.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@sb_tang The problem with the ex players that have been so "shocked" and "disappointed" is that they to crossed the line and have blood on their hands. Smith may have gone deeper past the line but the standard had been set and engrained.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

So much hype about ball tampering. Not sure there is a professional cricket team in the world that doesnt do it one way or another. Too many ex players/mentors with short memories taking the high ground and hanging current players out to dry. Really feel for Bancroft and Smith.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@sb_tang We had 2 CA presentations a year on match fixing but not 1 in my 10 years on ball tampering. Many knew what was going on but nothing was ever said as it was generally accepted. Now Smith will be made the scapegoat.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@sb_tang It is much more frowned upon to use sandpaper but its all still ball tampering under the laws of the game. All teams have been crossing the line for years.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@sb_tang This has been the attitude exactly. Its ok to cheat a little but its not ok to cheat alot. Its ok to turn the ball into a minty but not ok to rough one side with some hand tape. Tit for tat.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@jbfwoodroof Agree that. They are pathetic sometimes. There was a documentary over here on how to tell your kids the Australian cricket team were cheats. Marcus Trescothick was a hero in the ashes for the same offence. Not saying it right. Just that this group isnt the first. Hope your well!

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@xboxfoster Not sandpaper no. How are ya mate? Hope you and the fam are well!

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@FreoPope @fawcett29 Problem with that is that the ball wouldnt move off the straight and we would have ultra boring tests like the MCG this summer. The contest between bat and ball is what makes test cricket the pinnacle. A level of ball tampering should be allowed. No sandpaper though.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@sb_tang @BoredTweeter55 Im saying some of the public anger you speak of has been created by these ex players who have chosen the moral high ground instead of speaking the truth, helping the public understand that it does go on and calm the mood.

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@sb_tang @BoredTweeter55 Sorry i wasnt refering to SA and Eng. These guys are a product of yesterdays players. The exact same ex NSW and Aust players that have been very critical. The public does not understand that it is normal. It would be nice if afew high profile players put their hand up.

@johnt237 @wesrobbo22 @maxyklinger @westaustralian @ScorchersBBL @SACAnews @GrahamManou All part of being an all rounder. Miss out with the bat ---> contribute with the ball. What were our second spinner @Healsy13 figures that day?

[Liam Davis @liam_davis]

@johnt237 @wesrobbo22 @maxyklinger @westaustralian @ScorchersBBL @SACAnews @GrahamManou All part of being an opener. Sometimes you just get a good one early.
