Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Lyon have hit back at suggestions that they had prior knowledge of their teammates’ ball-tampering exploits.
Ever since that infamous day in March 2018, Cricket Australia has maintained that only three men knew about the cheating that was going on. That story is beginning to unravel.
In the test match that immediately followed one of cricket’s biggest scandals, Australia thought they had caught out the Proteas.
‘The Test’ follows the Ozzie cricket side as it “sets about reclaiming its pride and integrity after falling from grace”. That’s putting it lightly.
Steve Smith and his Ozzie teammates were pretty chuffed with themselves after retaining the Ashes, but the celebrations have left a sour taste in many mouths.
Smith, Warner, Bancroft – three names that will forever be associated with cheating. Not a good look, but Australia’s real sporting shame is something far more sinister.
We’ve heard plenty this week about how distraught Steve Smith is, and if you doubted that then his press conference earlier is all the proof you need.
Mickey Arthur is uniquely placed to understand the Ozzie team culture, having coached three different countries. It’s safe to say Australia was his least favourite.
We’re set to hear from Steve Smith later today, but the man at the centre of it all has finally given a statement, I dunno, anyone else feel like this doesn’t cut it?
The tape / sandpaper debate can finally be settled once and for all, although David Warner has bigger things to worry about. His bank balance is taking a beating.
Another day, another round of drama as the Ozzie wheels come off. If you’re wondering how Lehmann hung onto his job, here’s some food for thought.
I know you’re probably starting to tire of all the cricket talk, but let’s take a moment to give props to the team that captured the Ozzie scoundrels in action.
We will soon learn exactly what actions Cricket Australia takes against their cheats, but inside sources paint a picture of a team in disarray.
Yesterday was the kind of day you want to savour, so let’s look at some of the best moments that may have slipped you by. Warning – this may leave you grinning.
Australia is reeling from what may be the worst 24 hours in their recent sporting history, and the ramifications and fallout is only just beginning.
