Saw Aggers tweeting a bit about Smith/ the others who tampered... where do people stand on here?

Tricky, without actually knowing how widespread it was throughout the game (the Armstrong defence...). But I think, assuming not many other teams were doing anything quite so extreme, it's pretty much reprehensible.

This is also pretty thought-provoking: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/opinion/109728513/starc-decline-statistics-show-why-the-english-are-cynical-about-the-last-ashes-series

so thought provoking that no-one else has brought it up except an nz hack writing for a lad's mag.

comparing avgs of a series you win 4-0 against shit opposition with a 2-1 drubbing at the hands of arguably the best team in the world.

must be ball tampering
