Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft have shamefully admitted that they purposefully tried to alter the condition of the ball in the third Test against SA, after the incident was captured by the camera. The cricketing fraternity is completely shocked by the act and let their anger come out on Twitter.

In a recent crisis of sorts in the Australian cricket, Cameron Bancroft was caught by television cameras while trying to scuff up the ball with a yellow tape on Saturday. After the end of the day, he has been charged by the ICC after self-confessing to using yellow tape to pick up rough granules from the pitch and rub them on the rough side of the ball so as to aid reverse swing.

Attending the press conference with Bancroft, captain Steve Smith admitted that Australia deliberately tried to tamper with the condition of the ball to gain an advantage. While it is a full-blown crisis for the Australian cricket, the entire cricketing world is shocked and lost for words.

The talk has begun.

When you are persuaded by seniors, you hardly say "no"

It was indeed.

Lehmann should come forward.

Steyn gun is firing.

Aussie way. No?

Virat Kohli would be smiling, somewhere.

It is true.

Can't agree more!
