SANDPAPERGATE II

After the revelations in Usman Khawaja's new book that "everybody knew" about Australia tampering with the ball in 2018, we discuss what this means for Australia's quartet of great bowlers. Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitch Starc and Nathan Lyon issued a joint statement at the height of the Sandpapergate scandal denying any knowledge of players ball-tampering and declaring "we pride ourselves on our honesty." Khawaja's book outs them and the rest of the team and management as blatant liars. Simon Hughes and Simon Mann delves into the detail and also analyse the comments of David Warner (who was banned for a year after the controversy) in support of Khawaja's revelations. Also in this episode, England's squad for the Test match tour of South Africa is announced and we analyse the winners and losers, notably the selection of the Notts spinner Liam Paterson-White.
