Should he have been banned for life? Did his antics leave a bitter taste? How did you feel watching him cheat then go on to lead our team in test series for years after? Did you applaud when he made a century after him being exposed as a cheat?

    Not trying to be pedantic here fellas, just a few honest questions relating to the issues raised in various posts.
    Cheeating by any nation's team/ individual is cheeating Pass.

    Adda banned Atherton for life just the same.

    I wish they would have banned him for life. Sh1t opener and sh1t captain. He ruined Graeme Hick's career with that stupid declaration.
