South Africa have a history getting caught with this stuff. Especially du plessis.  I mean the team got special pants made with abrasive 'sand-paper' like material instead of normal cloth.  Does this take the shine off their win? Discuss.

You don't remember this? A couple of years ago - the official SA test kit had a big rough patch on the pants next to the pocket on one side.  And zippers.  Specially for roughing up the ball.  Why do you zippers on pants pockets for test cricket?

I may have missed that incident. Did ICC ban those? Sounds sinister by SA. Pants for roughing up the ball.

This is why I have been advocating that we need to fast track our own pant to rough up the ball

Yeah, had Faf not done that, the game could have gone half an hour more on day 4.
