Not really - Cronje got a life ban, the Pakistan spot-fixing in 2010 resulted in a bunch of prison sentences and 5-10 year bans for some no-balls. That's not minor fallout. These Aussies were some of the world's best players, most aggressive and nasty competitors, were treating the rest of the world like mugs with 70s style cheating tactics and are England's greatest rival - it's no surprise their behaviour and cursory punishments got a bit of focus.
