AUSSIE DRUG CHEAT BACK IN ACTION

OK - it may be a bit over the top, but it's interesting that the aussies are always the first to jump up and down and cry foul when anyone else is caught taking "banned substances", demanding life bans all round, but are noticeably more lenient when it is one of their own!

Shane Warne returns today from a 1 yr ban for taking a banned diuretic. This is the same Shane Warne who admitted accepting cash from bookies (along with Mark Waugh), supposedly giving pitch and weather info in return (does anyone believe that? why would they pay for public info?) - the same offence for which many in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa were rightly banned for life.

Fortunately for England we have been so bad for so long that there was no real chance of anyone offering any of our players cash for info or to underperform. They have been sure-fire losers for years and show no signs of breaking the habits of a lifetime.
