nevada Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have been saying it for years - the bowlers cannot NOT know that the ball has been tampered with! The entire team knew it and should have been banned. sscomp32 1 Link to comment
sage Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Bancroft as the junior player was left to take the fall. Incredible that Leheman remained unhurt. Vilander and sscomp32 2 Link to comment

Shows a lot about aussie convict culture they are good only when everyone is seeing else their true aussie nature comes out. Convicts basically.. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Bowlers always know.. There is nothing new to it. All three of them basically took one for the team & obviously whole team & Coaching staff knew about ball tampering. Straight Drive and nevada 2 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Obviously they knew this, that's why this charade of only 3 person knowing started the moment they got caught, Bowlers, other players not happy, Warner leaving whatsapp group and leaving hotel without other players, Other players have stopped talking with Warner - All this was circulated just to show how only and only Warner was responsible, He also received hate more because his behaviour with SA players throughout the series. Even that "The Test" tv show was attempt to whitewash Australian deeds. It's obvious those who are using the ball know the condition of the ball, if umpires can detect there is something wrong, why cant bowlers. It was well planned and god knows since when they had been doing that. Link to comment

They are the ones who probably ask others to help them in tampering the ball. kirkutfan and Lone Wolf 2 Link to comment

diga Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 So the revelations came about in English media... Ashes tour is certainly on their minds Link to comment
putrevus Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It is foolish to think only those three were involved and bowlers and coach were saints. Whole team was involved , everyone knew about it also. They wanted to put everything on Bancroft initially but it became much bigger than they could have imagined and Smith had to go down along with Warner after that press conference. Link to comment

mishra Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Its different question that whole team took a cautious decision in advance to tamper the ball. Most likely few more knew what was going on, but didn’t participate in decision making. Link to comment
