@BenRothenberg As an Australian citizen, I am extremely happy with this decision, and the reason - "on the basis it was in the public interest to do so". Treated like he should be - as any other ordinary person entering our country.

@BenRothenberg I don't believe he would've skipped AusOpen. That's easy to say now & blame Govt. He would've tried anything to get into Oz because this is where he wins. He plays for Grand Slam trophies. He would have tried anything to get here. Locked on 20 with Rafa? Come on, he was coming.

@collinsadam @stevesmith49 I wasn't impressed with what I saw. Really, if you're not batting, you shouldn't be anywhere near the crease. Don't really care about the shadow batting but scruffing the crease? No need to do it. Very childish. Unfollowed him yesterday.

The Cameron Green ‘catch’. Yes, his fingers are under the ball but the ball also hits the ground. His hands need to be under the ball to PREVENT IT from hitting the ground surely? I would give it not out - benefit of doubt to batsman but that’s disappeared from game. 🤔 #AUSvIND

The ICC have just increased the penalty for ball tampering to 6 tests. Cricket Aus penalty was too harsh in comparison to what went before. No reason at all they can't adjust it to fall into line with the governing body's (ICC) new penalties. Why? Can't admit they got it wrong?
