Australian cricketers have admitted ball-tampering. The batsman Cameron Bancroft said that he attempted to tamper with the ball and his captain, Steve Smith, added that the team’s senior players planned it. The Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said, he was ‘shocked’ and ‘disappointed’ with the news. He said he had expressed his concerns to the Cricket Australia chairman, David Peever.’I have expressed to him very clearly and unequivocally my disappointment and my concern about the events in South Africa,’ Turnbull said. ‘How can our team be engaged in cheating like this? It beggars belief,’ he added.

Woah cricket must be a real big deal in Australia if the prime minister is addressing such an incident
most of the Australian cricketers are Rude, Arrogant, Cheater and no sportsmanship spirit. they just want to win match by hook or crook

EVERYONE CHEATS
I can understand the reactions. But no one has the right to call the Aussies cheats and not others. People are criticizing Smith, Warner and Bancroft only because they were punished brutally for their actions and no other country has had the gall to do that to their own players. Hats off to Cricket Australia. But calling these guys cheats is not fair.
Lol..Prime Minister has time to talk about it??I thought only Sheikh Hasina was shameless to watch cricket..
Worst decision by cricket Australia to ban 1 year
Australia 🇦🇺 Cheats
The Australian cricket team are all barsturds and they don't deserve forgiveness at all. 😆
So Australia is as cricket crazy as India where politicians poke their noses into the game. Surprised
I despise Aussie attitude. Yes they are arrogant and rude. But even the fierce aussie critic in me welcomes the manner in which Australia as a nation has condemned this shameful chapter in the world of cricket. Good Job Aussies.
Get back to politics, stay out of sport.
run the country ye scumbag, Cheating scumbags always were always will be, I hate Aussie sports of all codes because of this stupid attitude that you have to win at all costs. Shame Shame Shame! Sack the cheats for life but of course being JAFAs they will get off with a slap on the wrist! sack this arsewipe sutherland as well. What a shower of cry babies, man up

I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE THEM PLAYING ANOTHER GAME IN THE "BAGGY GREEN" EVER AGAIN!!! I CAN'T EVER SUPPORT THESE CRICKETER'S EVER AGAIN!!! THE POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA IS ASHAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he. had. done. for. his. nation. man.
Ball temprng per esny kaisa bola sala ek hamara pm hay chutiye insaan ko jaan jati hay per kuch ni bolta bulle ka baal modi
I can understand it being an excruciating and very expensive experience,however even an Oscar for an ocean of crocodile tears won't placate this mess, so a word of advice to the new guys "don't even think about scratch your balls in South Africa)
Five memorable ball tampering punishments in cricket history 1: Atherton fined £2,000 Suspended one-match ban, overturned on appeal 2:tendulkar Suspended one-match ban, overturned on appeal 3: Inzamam banned for four matches 4:afridi banned for two T20 matches 5:Du Plessis fined 100% of his match fee and given three penalty points and now smith and warner one year and brancoft nine months..can they overturn their appeal?
With out smith and warner Australia team will fall it will become like west indies .mind it ?
Oh look, the Guardian is Shocked, SHOCKED. Like the leaning left of the MSM should be surprised when lying and cheating is their own forte.
It's not just first time ,this incident they did in past many many times but somehow camera didn't captured them.
As an Australian in India…i am so ashamed. The outcry at 12 month suspension surprised me. Nail em to the cross. It should be treated as a criminal offence!
