I'm wondering if a coach should be able to incur a run penalty? Sure change the ball. Shouldn't run scoring be the province of the players on the field.
So a coach,or anyone else connected with the team, can interfere with the ball without penalty?
I assume this is the same Mick Lewis(Australia,Victoria and Durham) who was involved in ball tampering as a player.

The same Mick Lewis.
The same one who, I am quite sure, still possesses the worst set of bowling figures in ODI history.
I don't remember his history of ball tampering. Can you tell me about it, Westoe?
I heard this talked about on the radio, but didn't hear it too well. Jim Maxwell made a reference to "the first time, it's a warning", making me think that it was the second time the team was caught tampering.
I have always thought the five run penalty to be woefully inadequate, and any other sanction against Lewis would come after the game and therefore too late. I'd like see Lewis banned from the venue for the rest of the match as well.

small change, if they win the Shield. SA were going along nicely before the incident and lost 4/20-ish afterwards.

barely the price of half a dozen pizza's in Australia
no ban, no points, nothing else?
seems extraordinarily lenient. If he'd placed a $1 bet on any aspect of the game, they'd have thrown the book at him

Anyway, back to the cricket, the Bushrangers look to be heading for a win on the 5th day.
