Guys
I was pleased to read that many people agreed that David Warner shouldn’t ever say anything about Cape Town.
But there are questions Cricket Australia should be asked at every media conference until it answers the questions:
- How many players and support staff were interviewed in Cape Town by Sutherland and the clown
- If everyone wasn’t interviewed, why weren’t they?
- Did Bancroft and Warner swop fielding places so Bancroft would be the last player to touch the ball before giving it to the bowler?
- If so, did Smith make the fielding changes?
- Was Bancroft caught by the umpires before he tampered with the ball?
- If not, how many balls were bowled with the tampered ball?
Unless Bancroft was caught before a tampered ball was bowled, what we have been told doesn’t appear to add up.
Let’s say ‘Bowler A’ bowled ball three with an untampered ball. The ball came back to Bancroft who went to work on the ball. Bancroft threw the ball to ‘Bowler A’.
Did ‘Bowler A’ say: “What the heck has happened to the ball or was he too dumb to know?”
Did the wicketkeeper or fieldsman who threw the tampered ball back to Bancroft notice that the ball had been tampered with?
Did a second bowler get to bowl with the tampered ball? If so, was he too dumb to notice that the ball had been tampered with?
What was the captain going to say to the umpires about the ball when he gave it to them at the fall of the wicket or at drinks or at the interval?
