The Tiger King
Interesting.I think its always been illegal to tamper with the ball, but what amounts to tampering hasn't always been clear - an example is using resin for, whatever bowlers use resin for, which was widespread but in 1931 the ACB declared it was illegal - bowlers weren't happy, and who knows, if they hadn't made that decree maybe DRJ wouldn't have felt it necessary to use the tactics that he did a couple of years later?
Didn't the bowlers have some sort of leeway? What was Irish swing?
