Looks like the Aussies are trying to get as much currency about Faf Du Plessis and the sweet row. Don't really know what the authorities can do about it and they seem to be applying archaic rules to these dynamic practices of keeping one side of the ball shiny.

There's a great skill where the fielder picks up the ball close to the boundary, collects it at an angle and throws it back so it lands just before the wicket.

The cons can fuck off though. When they were comprehensively beaten in the last test, the seamers won it didn't they?

As Athers said on his Times editorial this week, the ICC should just let it pass.
