WORLD : CHEAT SCANDAL ROCKS CRICKET AS AUSTRALIAN PLAYER CAUGHT RED-HANDED ON CAMERA TAMPERING BALL DURING TEST MATCH VS. SOUTH AFRICA !
The Australian national cricket team - - one of the biggest powerhouse teams in the world, and a 5-Time Cricket World Cup Champion - - is literally in tatters after batsman Cameron Bancroft was caught red-handed on camera tampering the ball during Test Match against South Africa in Cape Town.Tweet
Umpires confronted Bancroft on the field midmatch after venue big screens showed him in super slo-mo doing his crime, which Bancroft first denied like a 5-year-old caught with his pants down, stealing some candies.
Later, Team Captain Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft faced the cameras in a Press Conference post-match, confessed that they in fact cheated, and that the entire Team and "the leadership group" knew about the plan to cheat and they talked about how to do it.
On camera, Cameron Bancroft described in details how he carried out the cheating, with no qualms.
Reports of the shameless cheat scheme were met with shock and anger, across the sporting world.

What I find appalling in all this is the Youngster got given the Job .. Was it because someone in the team had been accused of using Hand tape for a similar affect !!!!!!!
