I know there's basically zero interest in cricket on this site but this has been major news everywhere. The Australian captain Steve Smith and his vice captain David Warner conspired with the youngest member on the team Cameron Bancroft to use sandpaper on the ball during a match. Smith and Warner have been banned for a year and Bancroft nine months. They've all become hate figures and been sent home from the Aussies South Africa tour in disgrace.

Now they say it was the only time they'd ever done it but in the most recent Ashes the Aussies were getting reverse swing early in the innings while Anderson - the best swing bowler in the world - couldn't swing the ball for toffee. It will probably never come out now unless one of them writes a tell all memoir but its pretty suspicious supposedly the coach knew nothing about it either but thats probably rubbish
