Heard people using Mr Sheen, metal fabrication spray and bacon fat cooked in to one side of the ball and then finishing it off using a car buffer. The ******* ball was hooping for 30 overs better than a new pill!

Completely disagree, have played cricket for 30 years and have never ball tampered myself or seen any of my teammates do it either.

That's where I stopped reading
Muppet cricket (which is all I played) is not international cricket so the standard is better and the standards are higher too.

Same, it's common protocol for the batting team's captain to take the ball home.
I would've punched a team mate in the face if I suspected ball tampering, spit and sweat is the best method, an older bloke that used to bowl these little in-dippers used to put it down the top of his arse crack the dirty pig, he could swing the ball like a boomerang though.

Rubbish. Absolute rubbish. If you or anyone you know has been involved in that sort of ball tampering they should be ashamed of themselves. As a player I always had a spare set of socks in my kit bag, as a captain I would use one of those clean socks to house the ball in from one week to the next if we were bowling week one and went home with the ball. Mr Sheen, metal fab spray, bacon fat, buffing it with a machine, I call bullshit.
You get given a new ball, if you shine one side of it ie do your best to maintain the new condition of the ball then that's part of keeping the ball in the best condition you can, it benefits the batting and bowling team.
