Description
This episode is talking about two of the world’s biggest cheating scandals of modern times; the Houston Astros and the Australian cricket team. And while I knew a lot about one, the other was not as known to me, so here’s Ben Reiter from Sports Illustrated and The Edge Podcast to chat about it.
In this episode we talk about the many similarities of the two scandals, the reactions, the hatred for the teams, how so few people were punished, what happens when standard cheating crosses the imaginary line to moral outrage, how funny they both were and we compare Faf Du Plessis to the Boston Red Sox.
