sarkar this is the most punishment which ICC can give for a ball tampering issue per current laws… ICC laws were drafted and signed by indian and pakistani boards as well

it is not like ICC handed aussies a weaker punishment and handed afridi who was chewing the ball like an apple more. ICC did what it could have done. so pls dont blame ICC. blame every board on this planet who helped ICC drafting these laws.

CA then acted on its own to punish the players severely

Shahid Afridi was banned for 2 matches, not 1

Shahid Afridi was banned for 2 matches, not 1

wah sarkar wah, maan gayay aap ko..matlab app nay theka liya huva hai har baat ka ulta matalb niklanay ka

sarkar, i said that ICC handed over the maximum possible punishment to smith for ball tampering and that under ICC code of conduct article 2.2.9 means a ban of a Test, two ODIs or two T20Is,

So afridi got banned for 2 T20s whereas Smith got a test match ban

pls read below how shamelessly Indians acted when their god tendulkar was accused of ball tampering. they came up with all kind of excuses including playing the racism card. and now thousands of Indians are lecturing on morality at cricinfo. I will not stand any hypocritical attitude.

Sachin Tendulkar, 2001edit]In the second Test match of India’s 2001 tour of South Africa, at St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth, match referee Mike Denness suspended Sachin Tendulkar for one game in light of alleged ball tampering.[SUP][7]](Ball tampering - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Television cameras picked up images that suggested Tendulkar was scuffing the seam of the cricket ball, though Tendulkar he claimed he was actually just removing the piece of grass stuck in the seam of ball.[SUP][8]](Ball tampering - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
The incident escalated to include allegations of racism, and led to Denness being barred from entering the venue of the third Test match. Subsequently, the International Cricket Council revoked the status of the match as a Test as the teams rejected the appointed referee.
The charges against Tendulkar, and Virender Sehwag’s ban for excessive appealing, triggered a massive backlash from the Indian public.
The ICC later cleared Tendulkar of ball tampering charges.[SUP][9]](Ball tampering - Wikipedia)[/SUP]

Brilliant article by Osman Samiuddin pointing out the fact that its Steve Waugh who started this culture in the Australian team, which is ending up in this mess now

What’s with the sanctimony, Mr Waugh? - ESPNcricinfo

dear uncle, it is unfortunate but you have a long history of playing race card everytime a white guy is involved. this is indeed sad

at least Australian prime minister, Australian board, Australian media, Australian former cricketers and Australian public ..all of them unanimously condemned this incidence and asked to remove steve smith even though he is considered the biggest star after don bradman

now lets think if exact same incidence would have happened with Indian team or Pakistani team. imagine tendulkar, dhonie and kohli or wasim akram, inzi and razaqq being involved in exact same sort of ball tampering episode and would have caught. whole India or Pakistan would have been united on the name of nationalism to call such an incidence “a conspiracy against brown people by white people” . all kind of theories would have been drafted and all kind of analogies would have been made to mitigate the incidence by Indians and Pakistanis. when salman butt and the gang was caught red handed, i personally saw hundreds of articles in Pakistani media calling it a conspiracy against Pakistani players by Indian board and white boards so that Pakistan can lose 2011 world cup …

so lets not make it a white vs brown discussion. not to mention, ICC gave these players the most punishment which ICC can give for a ball tampering issue per current laws. and CA gave a punishment to its star players which Indian or pak board cannot even imagine to implement on its star players for a ball tampering issue.

Am tired. Will reply in detail. Let me just say one thing- you have a long history of denying there is any racial bias when Australian and English umpires officiate matches involving India or Pakistan or Bangladesh vs Australia or England or even New Zealand and South Africa.

And that is unfortunate.
