    On the political question I wish the Catalans well. Independence will be tough for them if they don't get the cooperation of Spain, but that's their decision.It's a good reason to keep things legal.

    And that's the reason that the Spanish state, currently governed by the political heirs of Franco, legislates that making 'their decision' should be illegal.

    Australia captain Steve Smith has been banned for one match and fined his entire match fee by the ICC after a ball-tampering incident in the third Test against South Africa.

    Bancroft was fined 75% of his match fee and given three demerit points.

    That will learn 'em, NOT. It is the equivalent of being put on the naughty step by Labour for dodgy Facebook posts.

    What the....?

    That’s no punishment at all, I was expecting something up there with what the Patistani spot fixers got, or someone who’d failed a drug test. After all, they were basically drugging the ball. One year ban, minimum for the Captain was required if it’s to be a deterrent.

    Under the rules ball tampering only carries a 1 match ban. The interesting question will be what the Australian Cricket authorities do later.
