The furore over Faf du Plessis mint-sucking episode brought a whole new connotation to the word gobsmacked, following Australias complete capitulation at the Bellerive Oval.Like the capitulation, du Plessis misdemeanour could prove to be a watershed moment. The former turned the spotlight on Australian selections, while the latter might have a similar effect on the ball-tampering law.On the basis that if you cant beat them you might as well join them, I proposed a few years ago that players should be allowed to do one thing that assisted them in swinging the ball.Like wristspin, the swinging delivery is crucial to Test crickets viability as a competitive and entertaining sport. In both cases the bowler has to bowl a full length to encourage the batsman to drive, and this often leads to one of two outcomes: it either brings about a classical shot for a boundary, or a misjudgement that prematurely ends an innings. The risk-reward aspect of these two forms of bowling adds greatly to the anticipation and enjoyment of cricket fans. Both arts should be encouraged by selectors and law-makers.With this in mind, I suggested that the law-makers should invite international captains to check with their players and then provide a list of things they felt enhanced swing bowling. Once these lists were submitted, the law-makers could then decide on one thing that enhanced swing bowling that could be made legal. A player using any other method of enhancement would face a ban, with severe consequences for straying. By compromising in this manner, the administrators would not only enhance the game but also simplify life for the officials at the ground and give the players an incentive to obey the law.By making one method of preparing the ball legal, there would also be less pressure on teams to try and outdo their opponents. There would also be less risk that one side would be caught while another got off scot-free. The greatest success on the field would then be achieved by the most skilful swing bowlers.It was pretty obvious that du Plessis was angered by his fine and the inference that he was a cheat. He responded exactly as you would expect from a proud, strong-minded person, by making a defiant century at Adelaide Oval. By the time du Plessis was celebrating his three-figure score, Ill bet there were many Australian supporters who wished they hadnt inspired the South African captain by booing him on his way to the crease.The fact that no opponent of du Plessis was enraged by his actions, and many were even supportive, suggests that, as has been inferred, all teams are doing it. Englands Marcus Trescothick even revealed in a book that the 2005 team used sweets to assist with the shining of the ball in their successful Ashes campaign.Hence the feeling that if you cant beat em, join em.If international batsmen were to object to a proposal to legalise a ball-shining enhancement, it would be hypocritical. Firstly, many of the current laws and playing conditions favour batsmen over bowlers. Secondly, the majority of captains are batsmen and they are happy to condone their own players questionable actions when the team is in the field.With the advent of leagues like the IPL, which attract many overseas players, there are now virtually no secrets in the game. Also, through these leagues players from different international teams have become quite close friends, and consequently they are reluctant to be critical of each other.Producing late-swinging deliveries has always been a destructive weapon for bowlers and an exciting aspect of the game for fans. At Bellerive, Australia was beaten by the better bowling side rather than an opposing captain who liberally applied gobs of mint-flavoured saliva to the ball.

He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat.PHILADELPHIA -- Domonic Brown took a hop and skip out of the batters box, made an exaggerated bat flip, stutter-stepped around first base like Rickey Henderson, and exchanged a choreographed hand shake with Ryan Howard at the plate followed by a semi-bow. If he keeps hitting like this, Brown can be as flashy as he wants. Brown hit his eighth homer in eight games to back Kyle Kendricks six-hitter, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 Monday night. "Im not really big on numbers," Brown said. "I watch my at-bats every day, see which ones are good and try to keep improving." Delmon Young and Erik Kratz also went deep for the Phillies. Brown, the NL player of the month for May, continued his torrid hitting by going 3 for 4. He had 12 homers and 25 RBIs last month, and already has connected twice and driven in six runs in June. "In the last two or three weeks, hes put a lot of energy in our game," manager Charlie Manuel said. Kendrick (6-3) retired his last 15 batters and beat the Marlins for the 12th time in 14 decisions. He lowered his ERA to 3.12 with his second complete game of the season and fourth in his career. The Phillies trailed 2-0 before scoring three in the fifth and chasing Tom Koehler (0-4) with four in the sixth. Kratz led off the fifth with a shot that barely cleared the wall in left-centre. One out later, Kendrick ripped a liner to centre and hustled into third with a headfirst dive for his first career triple. Ben Reveres RBI single tied it at 2. Revere was 2 for 21 before the hit. Revere stole second, advanced to third on a throwing error by Rob Brantly and scored on Cesar Hernandezs RBI groundout that ggave the Phillies a 3-2 lead.ddddddddddddIt was the first career RBI for Hernandez. Brown extended the lead to 5-2 with a two-run shot in the sixth. He leads the NL with 17 homers, and certainly isnt lacking confidence. The 25-year-old outfielder is starting to show more swagger with each drive out of the ballpark. "Thats just an inside thing with me and Ryan," Brown said of his celebration with Howard. "Im not going to get into it." The lanky left fielder has eight homers, 15 RBIs and has raised his average from .257 to .291 during an eight-game hitting streak. Ryan Webb replaced Koehler and gave up a long homer to Young. Freddy Galvis tripled and scored on Kendricks grounder to make it 7-2. The last-place Marlins were coming off their first sweep of the season, over the New York Mets, and were seeking their first four-game winning streak. They jumped ahead 2-0 in the third on RBI singles by Derek Dietrich and Marcell Ozuna. Then, it was all Phillies. "It was a good game for the first four innings," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Then they put some good at-bats together and we couldnt hold them down." NOTES: Phillies 3B Michael Young was back after missing five games to tend to his 9-month-old son, who was hospitalized.
