I don't know who knew and who did not but 100% the Cape Town was the first of its kind. Its not humanely possible to do what they did and get away with it when there are 30 cameras basically following every player. Fact that Davey thought it was a good idea is a testimony to his brain capacity
But as a 7 year commentary contract for a bloke who struggles to string 3 words together might attest, the domestic broadcasters may have been somewhat less intrusive to this kind of behaviour.

If you are suggesting that channel nein knowingly overlooked the ball tampering unlike super sports, that is a massive conspiracy claim and sounds too fantastic to be true. Up there with the big foot. They were on the road in India and Bangladesh before that series where reverse is more critical so surely they must have picked something.

Nah the most likely case is Stuart as always pulled an excuse out of his arse like he often does. I mean this is the same bloke who voided a whole ashes series so he saw the opportunity to find an excuse to England's customary **** away ashes performance and jumped on it

Broad is absolutely making **** up

Anyone who actually watched the 2017-18 Ashes would know he barely got one pitched in his own half all series anyway

It would appear that the disgraced former vice captain is holding all the aces. He's not even playing his hand very well (what's with all the weird text messages to Johnson??) and yet it seems the establishment still backs him. I wonder why?
Almost as if taking a beef over some text messages into a massive public spat in the media would be embarrassing behaviour for a teenager let alone a former Test cricketer and paid commentator.

This is a proper Australia A side, other than the fast bowling. Weird that the actual "Aus A" teams were bad but the "PMs XI" is a proper Aus A team

Why not just call it "Australia A". Clearly the PM has nothing to do with it

Shafique has an impressive Test record. Just turned 24 and averages 50 with a double ton already (averages 60 in FC)

This Pakistan bowling attack is absolute junk. Is this really the best they have bar naseem and shaheen?

Also I love it how you've just absolutely laid into the bowling attack even though they're batting first. :laugh:

It's so bad that you didn't even give them a chance to bowl before insulting them.

Four of their frontline bowlers are a 25 yo old leggie who's never toured AUS before, a 24 year old who averages 29 in fc cricket, a bit's and piece's t20 allrounder and faheem ashraf. Only guy I even halfway rate in there is hamza and IDK how his bowling will transfer to AUS. It's a shockingly bad attack and if any of the top 4 make >100 against it they deserve the death penalty.
