The recent ball-tampering scandal currently rocking Australian Cricket to it’s core is purely a result of the blatant NSW-favouritism shown by selectors, says a ropable Ipswich man.

This follows Australian cricketer Cameron Bancroft was charged with ball tampering, and his captain Steve Smith suspended for one Test after he admitted that he and other senior players, who he refused to name, plotted during a lunch break to illegally tamper with the ball in the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

Even Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has weighed in on the disgusting display of poor sportsmanship, however dads around Queensland say it all could have been avoidable if they still had blokes from humble Queensland stock running around out there.

“You reckon Roy or fucking Johnson would have carried on like those little fucking princesses have?” says Wally Lockyer (65).

“You get a start playing for New South Wales, you get a start playing for Australia. That’s how it works and it’s fucking us up”

Cricket greats including Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Michael Clarke have slammed the attempted cheating, which has prompted an investigation from Cricket Australia.

However, Wally says this issue is far more deeply engrained than you’d think. It’s just like the Wallabies and how they treated Ewen and Eddie Jones. These elitist pricks down in the Harbour can’t cop their games being dominated by Queenslanders. Lucky we have Origin so we can rub it in their face every year.

“Clarke can’t say shit. He was the one that brought these blokes through. What happened to the days when the Sydney cricketers were scrappers like Thommo and the Waughs”

“This is the most despicable shit I have ever seen. I could drive down to the offices at the SCG and start knocking blokes out”.
