The bowlers should not have played dumb as if they knew nothing about it. They were the main people to benefit out of it. Still believe they got out of it lightly but will cop it in the future and rightly so.

If you find a $50 note on ground at the footy are you going to go around asking everyone who owns it?

1. that wasn't the first time but rather an escalation of finding new methods. Taking sandpaper on the field to tamper is like buying a Ferrari for your first car. You don't go straight to the grande you build up and eventually go big at the end. Look at the footage from the test before in Sydney where Bancroft was filling his pockets with sugar.

2. More than just the 3 player involved knew and were part of it including bowlers and Lehmann.

3. Historically was happening and there was a culture around it......wouldn't be surprised to see another 'youngish' type player come out and say they were asked to or did do it at some point.

4. All test teams have been doing it...and it pretty much was the only proper way to get a ball hooping for reverse swing...we haven't really seen much reverse swing since. Reverse swing was essentially code for tampered ball. Which is why or how they could never really agree on how swing worked and was created.

"That day" - interesting choice of words! What a surprise they said this

For the bowlers to think that us mugs in the public believe they knew nothing, I find disrespectful

There was zero need for them to make a public statement, this confirms that they are guilty as the others IMO.

CA let Warne, Smith and Bancroft take the fall cause if it came out that the whole team knew about it they had a 1000 times bigger issue on their hands.

Flogging a dead horse. Bancroft should pt up or shut up.

And be banished from cricket altogether?
Why would he speak in full now as he will lose his job if he does.

Why say anything then?

Should make everyone involved play for the Redbacks for a season
