**** me I just saw the footage and it is even less controversial than and LBW where the ball is shown that it would hit the stumps. It is hilarious.
Even this article Australia vs South Africa cricket: Faf du Plessis ball tampering video
My favorite quote: "The footage shows du Plessis fingering an item in his mouth before rubbing his digit on the shiny side of the Test match ball."
Top notch journalism.

According to reports, he was going at summer's end anyway and decided to go now. I don't believe that, but that's the story.
The stories you hear about him and his approach to younger blokes when he played are pretty horrendous tbh.

Articles on that site have a very tabloid feel to it.

That's because it is a tabloid. News.com.au mostly shows articles from the Daily Telegraph/Herald Sun/whatever the local tabloid in the city is.

Not unsurprisingly... the question is who does he replace?

It's going to be Cook.
I reckon they'll push Bra T up to open.
That's the only changes I can see happening.
But a top 7 of: Elgar, Bavuma, Amla, AB, Duminy, Faf, and QDK is monstrous.

Monstrous?
I mean, it's good, but there's a blokes there averaging in the 30s and low 40s. There's still a big Kallis-shaped hole in the batting.

I'm not sure about Bavuma opening either. I think his temperament is fine for it but his off side technique would really bring the keeper and slips into the game against the new ball. I'd sooner move Faf up to open instead, particularly given Bavuma's been outperforming him in the middle for a while now.

No, just when there is a crisis it shows up the ones who actually watch some cricket away from the internationals and the ones who don't. The ones who don't always come up with a ridiculous funky XI that makes you spit your coffee out as you read the article or hear them speak. You have had a few bad times in a short space of time so they look stupid as their previous numptyness is still in your head.
