Australian cricket team shame

By their actions Steve Smith and his team have managed to undo in one day what it has taken Australian cricket years to achieve. Because of this I strongly feel that the whole team starting with CEO James Sutherland (who has handled the whole affair quite badly) needs to be sacked and a completely new team formed if Australia is to ever regain any sort of credibility on the world stage

Yes, I totally agree. As I previously wrote, Smith & Warner were warned in a shield game in 2016 about ball tampering. So if they are doing it a domestic cricket level, then I'd say it's not the first time. Australian cricketers are not really known for reverse swinging the ball, especially the kookaburra. James Anderson is the master of genuine swing bowling, yet couldn't get it to reverse in the ashes, yet stark could? Math I'm not having that. Warner is the I think mastermind is being a little generous to him, not sure he's that bright. The sheer arrogance to do that, is still astounding to me. They certainly have the holy than thou attitude.
Did you watch "caught out" last night?
