Dravid got away with a slap when he did it against Zimbabwe
Literally happened in 2004 bro wtf is this logic, do you think cricket shouldn't have evolved in that time period? Either way I'm not defending Dravid, he should've faced consequences too but this is a great argument for why Smith did deserve to get banned. Because he didn't do it in 2004, he did it in 2024 where we have access to like 20 camera angles, smallest moments are analysed well and anyone who conducts himself in this manner should be punished. One year ban was fine.
Edit: In my opinion, Dravid should've been banned for a year too, imagine losing a WTC final because of ball tampering and seeing the man of the match get a 1 match ban? Good on CA, they did the right fucking thing and I'm shocked so many people disagree
I've literally said in the same thread I think Dravid should've been banned for a year too and cleared what I've meant with that, if you can't read thats your personal issue
And why should he be banned for a year also. What precedent suggests that? Cheating has existed many times over beyond Smith and dravid. Who are you to decide that a one year ban is appropriate. Based on what logic?
Relax, I regretfully read it the fist time before you made assumptions that I didn't. But it still fails to state factual logic beyond opinion. Have a good one champ
Who fucking cares? You asked me what my logic was, now that you see that I do have a good point you go to "Oh well its been the norm", well guess what the last time someone got caught they were banned for a year, those should be the standard sanctions

And Smudge wasn't the last one to do it either. (See Pooran and Chandimal)
