Dunno why we admitted it, this is Hampshire, a team who ****** us over at the shit bowl final years ago. 

Hmmm.

Taken from the Grockles site:

Interesting comparison between Somerset and Hampshire today on the ethical issue of cheating.

When Hants wicket-keeper Lewis McManus `stumped` Leicestershire`s Hassan Azad in the county championship earlier this summer, his right hand took off the bails but the ball was in his left hand. Hampshire made no attempt to call Azad back and an official complaint was lodged by Leicestershire with the ECB. Social media was awash with cheating allegations, and several former cricketers weighed in also.

Today, the umpires said they were in no position to rule whether Marchant de Lange was fielding inside or outside the circle when Joe Weatherley was `caught`, as the television cameras were unable to give wide enough a sweep. But de Lange went up to the umpires and said that he was at fault - the no ball was given and Weatherley was reprieved..

That is ethical behaviour, Hampshire.
