Other players should take note as there are some who will just stand there even though the world knows that they have nicked it. Others when trapped LBW used the review system even though they know that to get it overturned will be near impossible (umpires call). Selfish players who only think of themselves and not the team.

This is why Italians don't play cricket thankfully,can you imagine the cheating that would occur.

At least if Italy had a cricket team you could bet your bottom dollar that their would be 11 Italians in the team and not a mixture of Irish, South African, Indian, West Indian, New Zealander and even a Zimbabwean and the odd Englishman.

Another great sporting event that's been marred by cheating is The Tour De France.
Chicken,go check how many Italians have been banned compared to English riders.
Italians can't help themselves,they have to cheat.Its in their nature.

Good declaration by the Aussies as they will now have 3 overs to bowl at England before lunch. Botham reckons England will win the match.

its obvious that after looking at the wicket the England bowlers decided just to go through the motions whereas the Australians have put their backs into it.
