Former Australian fast bowling legend Jeff Thomson believes that Steve Smith and the leadership group embroiled in the ball tampering scandal should be handed life bans from cricket.
The former cricketer spoke to A Current Affair and said that what happened in the South Africa Test match is calculated cheating. Thomson believes that those involved in this act should be ‘permanently’ kept away from the game.
“They should not get a match penalty they should just get flicked. I don’t care who they are, they should be just see ya later,” Thomson said. “It’s a slur on everyone who’s ever played cricket.”
“They’re like spoilt brats if it doesn’t go there way, they spit the dummy, whine about it, carry on stupidly,” he said.
