🤣🤣🤣 #SandpaperGate

Most teams ball-tamper.

The #sandpapergate penalties were mindblowingly disproportionate. As has been the carry on ever since.

Matildas launch fierce defence of Sam Kerr amid criticism of captaincy call Sam Kerr's coach and teammates aren't second-guessing the decision to re-install her as Matildas captain after returning to the field following a lengthy lay-off.

The hypocrisy of the media is astounding ..... criticising Sam Kerr's captaincy whilst applauding the captaincy of Steve Smith by cricket Australia .... you know that Steve Smith of #SandpaperGate fame.

Would have been interesting if he hadn’t been involved in #sandpapergate. Truly a great but that put a speed wobble into his career.

#sandpapergate was the final nail in the coffin for cricket with me and how Smith and Warner could ever have been selected to represent Australia is shameful.

He's the man who has no enemies in a side where there has been some post #Sandpapergate fallout between batsmen & bowlers. But every cricketer is a prisoner of their numbers & #MitchMarsh’s were weighing him down like lead balloon.

I have no respect or interest in Australian cricket once they whitewashed smiths and warners involvement in #sandpapergate and allowing them to continue playing #winningatallcosts

Mark Waugh on comms, talking about shining the ball
"David Warner was the dedicated shiner for a long time"

Yeah keep finishing that thought.... 😂

This is the thing about #SandpaperGate cricket shambles : if society doesn't have integrity when doing something that doesn't really matter, you're not going to when it really does

#Sandpapergate
AussieCricket is a disgrace
