Probably something along the lines of, "****, they're searching the bags. We're ****ed"!

At a guess I would say there was likely money involved somewhere.

13 years for that, people get less for killing people from drink driving.

The UK is not normal though. It's twisted and corrupt. I don't think he'll be in anywhere near 13 years.

What, because being a test cricket player for your country means you cant earn enough money to feed and clothe yourself?

Greed IMO. Silly man, thats what mules are for. Splitting the cans up so that customs only find 1 at a time not a bagfull... wait, is that a knock at the door?

Gus Fraser commented that he liked his nice things when he was a player and after his career ended money dried up, he resorted to this. Still shocking to see how the mighty have fallen mind.
