I think we all need a cup of tea, a scone and a lie down.

This is a storm in a teacup so to speak.

KWC; in that link you gave us is this

". The former opener also admitted that he narrowly escaped detection during the Headingley Test after a fielding incident left his pocket full of mints all over the pitch."

There was no Headingley Test in 2005. Lords, The Oval, Trent Bridge, Old Trafford, and Edgbaston.
There was a Test at Headingley in 2001

Re:England cheated to win ashes! Reply to this message
with a history such as his, and im not trying to carpet him over his depression, maybe, just maybe, these comments have proven to be be more cathartic than revealing.

Re:England cheated to win ashes! Reply to this message
who cares why he wears it. Possibly the same reason 10's of thousands of fans do it at a game and the fact that since he was a kid hes had it thrown at him from all quarters about sun protection, esp in Qld. Bichel was another that wore it, Geoff Dymock..... the list
+++++++++++++++++++++=

Loki; he was brought up in England. We don't use sun block over here for a very good reason

Re:England cheated to win ashes! Reply to this message
KWC PLEASE READ THIS SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY D1CK HEAD

Off cricinfo

The responses to Trescothick's revelations have been revealing by themselves. The story was broken by an English newspaper, but none of the English broadsheets deemed the matter significant enough to follow up or comment on. The Australian newspapers pounced on it with obvious relish. The Australian, the nationalist broadsheet, led with a headline that left no room for equivocation: "England cheated to win Ashes."

But the reaction from players was instructive. It only came to light later that Trescothick was referring to the 2001 Ashes, but even when it was thought to be the 2005 one, Michael Clarke, who was cleaned up a few times by reverse-swinging balls in that series, brushed aside the matter with a curt "that's in the past". Michael Kasprowicz, whose wicket, caught-behind, led to Australia's heartbreaking loss at Edgbaston even joked about the whole thing. There were no other responses from the Australian team. It said something.

A couple of things, in fact. One, it was no big deal. Two, it wasn't a surprise.

Now, anyone who's been around in county cricket, as Kasprowicz has, will tell you that mint-sucking has gone on for years. There isn't anything particularly diabolical about it either. Having been pushed to the wall, bowlers have sought to devise their own survival tactics; some form of ball tampering has always existed.

The truth however is that it takes a great amount of skill to use a tampered ball well. The Pakistani bowlers - Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis - who made reverse-swing such a deadly art, were all-time greats. And with or without mints, England's Ashes-winning pace attack of 2005, has arguably been the best seen in this decade for variety and potency. The 2001 Ashes, the series in which Trescothick has admitted to using the mints, England lost 4-1.
