Yep, but it usually has to be a pretty bad transgression, and it has to have a precedent in law.(end)
They broke the law,the law of cricket,which btw they signed to abide by.
That an organisation such as Cricket SA? decides to appoint someone that has transgressed doesn't make it right
"Two wrongs don't make a right".
As for politicians, that just goes down to the morality of the government that allows the transgression to go unpunished.
The other cases of ball tampering that have gone on in the past have been of an individual nature,not a planned action from a whole cricket team, or a big part of that team.
This was not a spur of the moment,but a premeditated action,which has brought the whole of the Australian cricket team and consequently Australian culture into disrepute.
From what was shown of well respected cricket commentators and past cricketers nearly braking down with the disgrace, and of course the realization by these three cricketers,plus Darren Lehmann and of what they have done that brought them to tears, shows them the gravity of what effect their actions had on them. and the cricket watching and playing community.
Lets hope that this will be a lesson in the future to others who might contemplate trying ball tampering.
Hear endeth the lesson.
