"Aleem Dar is on England's case. He knows that one individual is scratching the ball for England - who I am not going to name - and that's why the ball was changed." - Bob Willis
Strong words from the old man about his own team. According to Ashley Giles, the ball was changed because it was out of shape, yet Willis seems to think and know it was tampered and by whom.
I don't know whether, Bob wants attention in his old age or he is talking the truth and has received this story from inside. In other words the umpires, but they have not spoken yet.
The only thing I will say is the umpires need to come out and give their reason for changing the ball. Then where is the proof. Then speak.

Apparently someone scratched the ball, hence why it was changed, but the umpires have said nothing yet.

We will soon find out when the Umpires report comes out, if they mention it there we will have an investigation into it, if however there is no mention i suggest Bob Willis backs himself up and names some names.

Exactly what I am saying, but the question I ask is why would someone like Bob Willis practically accuse his own team of tampering. But most importantly also say he knows who it is.

Well either way, lets hope Willis will do something if it doesn't appear in the umpires report. If he knows this so well as he claims why doesn't he do something about it and speak to the ICC. He must have solid evidence to say this, so do something about it.

Whatever happens, if found to be untrue, Willis will not be a popular bloke.

Not sure that's ever bothered Willis, in fact i think he thrives on it.
