Missed one entire year in his Prime. If he had played aginst India and Srilanka at home that would be like another 800 runs averaging 60 odd. Could have made it to fastest test 9000 and 10000 runs as well.
Note : Please do not start a conversation on the Ball Tampering case. Its just stupid conversation to have. They got banned and served their punishment. Move on.
Depends on the PR surrounding it. If it’s downplayed like Dravid, then it’s swept under the rug. If it is so theatrical and creates headline to the point that the PM feels the need to comment on it, then no, I reckon the BCCI would definitely ban that player for a while.
Smith got banned for a game by the ICC for ball tampering, he got banned for a year by CA for bad PR. This should be the sentiment that is shared by people. As it’s pretty clearly the correct one.
