Well Uzzie has a book to move…

I suspect there’s a grain in truth in both sides. Everyone was doing stuff to get the ball to move, Warner and Bancroft probably came up with the specifics.

Every other cricket nation is sitting back laughing their asses off

I watched the recent Australian story on Uzzie as it outlined his struggles making and retaining his spot in the Australian cricket team.
A great bat to watch and he had some great innings for Australia.
Being a non drinker and a devout Muslim he wasn't easily acceptable into Australian cricket ,and he struggled with this non acceptance.
However he let his bat do the talking and the rest is history.
Just as the sandpaper gate issue is history as well.
Cricket is a team sport - you rely on you batting partner to not run you out,you want your fielders to keep pressure on batsmen by fielding well and you want catches to be taken.
The gentleman now wants to benefit through the sales of his book and through his teammates under the bus!
I was keen on his book as a holiday read but not now.
Its just not cricket- as simple as that.

Sick of Uzzie going on
Only white skinned cricketers can captain Australia
Uzzie just shut the f--- up

Mailing Beardman
On debut
7.4 overs 1 maiden 6 for 24
The best ever performance on debut
Spenser Johnson a 3 for !
Australian cricket is healthy ( at least in the bowling )
England all out 131 in 33.4 overs
Whether our batting is also healthy is yet to be seen

Uzzies book is all about MONEY
if it wasn't controversial it would not sell well
