That plus its the most unarguable case of premeditated cheating

Using your saliva from a sweet to actually bringing out an external object to try and cheat is worlds apart. Also, admitting it was a team effort with managemrnt being aware of it makes it far worse. The outrage is rightly justified.

Also Smith has been banned for one Test match by the ICC and fined his full match fee. Bancroft given three demerit points and fined three quarters of his remuneration. Personally I think both should have been given the same sanctions - I also think Lehmanns job is untenable personally.

Did SA get awarded 5 runs? With all the holala around aus team, I am nor sure SA got this added to their score

Not sure Viru, I don’t believe so.

Smith is booed onto the field, gets out for 7, and is booed off. Ah well.

Smith has had a poor series with the bat. Probably glad he’s suspended

Will there be Sonny Bill Williams masks for the next Ashes series? Will the ECB see the funny side?

SA are actually bowling back of a length wide of the stumps to Smith.. That's how u should bowl.Anyway Aussies collapsing like a pack of cards.nearly as bad as englands.

I hope teams are watching. This is how you bowl to smith, for too long he has had medium pacers bowling on his legs and let him dance while batting.

Aussies 94-9....

I doubt the aussies are even trying. If i were them i'd want the match to end ASAP.

they lost GOOD..

With all the focus on Australia cheating, how badly have Australia played this series. Is this the team that won 4-0? Let’s be honest this test match has been overshadowed by all the wrong things, but SA were on the front seat well before this fiasco played out.

Another away series and and Australia can’t win a series. With smith found out this series with the bat and not in the final test can’t see how they can win that.

One things for certain the SA vs AUS series has been way more entertaining than the bore fest called the Ashes.

What i did notice during the ashes is that the aussies are easily rattled. England were too rubbish for us to see much of that, but we did see glimpses on day 4 at Adelaide when root was given 3 lives, and at melbourne when England were accused of ball tampering.

The saffers have rattled the aussies to the fullest extent, and the aussies have resorted to cheating.

This is the same SA team England have beaten home and away in the last 2 series..

We u guys played SA last they were struggling to find an Opener and had quite a few injuries to there bowlers. They also finally look to have found a quality spinner. If England played SA again now in SA they would lose no doubt about it.

yeah always excuses. England have been garbage for years and we beat SA.. says more about South Africa..

SA defeated England in their backyard many times too so it goes both ways babe!

ANNND India a country with a population over a billion has never NEVER won a test series away from home To Australia/SA and never won in England over more thana 3 test series (and that was once). and England were robbed by the cheat of an umpire.

I just knew that you would bring India soon babe. Keep it going dude! We love it.. 😂😂

Would assume that the aussie side for the 4th test now looks like

Renshaw
Burns
Khawaja
S.Marsh
Maxwell
M.Marsh
Paine (c) (wk)
Starc
Cummins
Lyon
Hazelwood

With the way Australia have played this series fair to say India have given SA better fight. 3-1 on the reckoning.

India won a dead rubber. Hardly challenged them.
