Australia in turmoil over ball-tampering crisis

By Duncan Mil

March 25, 2018 - Australian cricket is in crisis after Cameron Bancroft was caught red-handed attempting to doctor the ball on the third day of the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

Australia captain Steve Smith has been banned for one match and fined his entire match fee by cricket’s world governing body, the International Cricket Council, for his part in a ball-tampering incident in South Africa.

Bancroft, 25, was fined 75% of his match fee and got three demerit points.
