Ouch! The images of Cameron Bancroft hiding a foreign object in his pants and then showing the umpires his bril se sakkie will remain with cricket fans for a long time.
It’s been that sort of series between South African and Australia - one for the silver screen I think.
But ball tampering, some would say is the cherry on the cake, I’d say just spoiled the hele series for me.
It has me wondering if the Aussies have been dishonest this entire time.
Was I wrong to blame Allan Donald and Lance Klusener after their mix-up at the 1999 World Cup where they were knocked out by these Aussies, or was the something sinister in that match as well?
Now we all love to hate the Aussies - it’s just a thing.
But we love to hate them because they are so damn good at what they do.
The ball tampering incident, though, is a hard one to swallow. Even for a South African.
You then begin to question how they won four out of the last five World Cups.
Yes, the Aussie legends will say that something like this never happened during their time.
But you’re only as good as your last screw up.
And judging by this, I think the Baggy Greens have just lost a whole lot of respect the world over.
