it’s not semantics it’s a clear categorisation of what they didn’t know without saying the thing that an active player can’t say but every retired player is able to - that ball tampering in general was part and parcel of the game
The bowlers 2021 statement and Starc today using “anything taken on the field” almost semantics. More like they aware the ball tampering off field but didn’t know sandpaper on field. My take.

well all now acknowledge that punishments for smith, warner & bancroft were too harsh. but this is why it happened! CA was responding to an insane overreaction by the media *and* public on social media in australia.
so what do we want now? another outsized reaction? move. on.
Somehow @GeoffLemonSport and @collinsadam always have something of value and nuance to say.
enjoyed this ep of @Final_Word_Pod even if i dislike going over all it again

the main thing i think when i see these pics is that jacob’s sense of street style is really good. he’s found a way to look hot by taking his hair out of the equation 😂

lol timing of this

Also I understand that Khawaja feels the 3 players were treated harshly. They were. But that's on CA & he should have focused on that.
Even if the whole team knew, the captain, vc and person caught are exactly the people who should have been be punished for a team error

The bowlers (like everyone, every team) knew ball tampering was happening but did NOT know about sandpaper bring brought onto the ground to do it. The statement from 2021 is worded very specifically so it's easy to infer. CA fucked up by overreacting and that's the problem

Astonishing read. Khawaja actually has the nerve to frame this like he’s doing everyone some noble favour.
“Exposing” the truth for your BOOK, years on, once retired and untouchable, is unbelievably low.
Why didn’t you speak up when those three were taking the fall and getting handed the bans?
Oh yeah… cause it didn’t serve your best interests. Now it does. Pathetic.
We all knew about the sandpaper scheme, says Usman Khawaja. Explosive stuff...

Look it’s funny how it all comes out when there’s a book to sell and no career on the line.
I believe everyone knew they were roughing up the ball - because every team does it. I do NOT believe everyone knew about sandpaper being used.

even though i was 50-50 on whether i even wanted it to be him as soon as jacob elordi was ruled out of bond i kind of lost intetrst.
jack lowden could be good esp if they let him keep the natural accent. but seems like they’re picking callum turner and that’s just so blah 🥱
listening to eric dane’s memoir, read by jacob elordi and it’s making me so sad. i was an original mcsteamy fan 💔
glenn maxwell is one of those magic players that always made it feel like anything could happen in cricket. i wish the selectors/coaches had handled him better. he should have played more tests.
thanks for all the joy, maxi ♥️

Mitchell Starc is a remarkable fast bowler
Three months shy of his 37th birthday
110 Test matches
Still bowling 140-150km/h
And his current bowling average of 25.97 is the lowest it has ever been throughout his 15-year Test career
