Using sandpaper (illegal) - this is what the Aussies were doing. I'd also polish the ball on my shirt instead of the more abrasive whites. Balls go soft after a while, those are no good to anyone. usually the hardest, old looking ball in the bag. I think what I did differently was to pick a good candidate for swing. (Umpires are hot on people bouncing the ball unnecessarily these days too). The idea is that one side wears naturally in contact with the bat and the ground. Polishing the ball is a legal and accepted practice. That was partly my bowling action which presented the seam well with it rotating truly and not wobbling, partly from being able to shine up the ball and put weight into one side of it. I could turn a ragged worn ball into one that would swing around corners. Polishing (legal) - I was a master at this. A team will work hard to manage the condition of the ball by polishing it, with the idea of working the ball into a condition that will swing. Why alter the condition of the ball ? It's very difficult in cricket to get a batsman out (unless it's an unprepared England player in that first innings). He's been banned for a year which is probably not enough. If you're going to cheat like that, you should do it yourself and not bully a junior member into being the scapegoat. He did this with the knowledge of the captain and used the most junior member of the team to carry out the deed. Basically, a senior player embarked on a plan to tamper with the condition of the ball. More on the story at cricinfo at the link (beware, they have an autoplay video on that).

Respond by beating them honourably and fairly. If that honour is not returned, fair enough.

That means giving them due respect for their abilities. You should always, ALWAYS, behave with honour towards the opposition.

I believe there is a certain code by which you should behave while playing sport. A couple of players can undermine the honour and behaviour of a team.

The behaviour of our players is not in question (except for the fella who is going to trial for public affray in the summer) but the Aussies have had a few issues building up inside their team for a while now. On to another sport and in cricket the Australians have been even more thoroughly embarrassed by the behaviour of their players than we were in GB of the performance of our team.
