Seeing it's the off season, I'd love to know what everyone thinks of what is currently happening in Australian Cricket.
Current Aussie captain Pat Cummings spent more than a hour answering questions today about the latest saga.
Was Usman right in bringing it up 8yrs later? Or is it in time to sell his book?
Did the team know what was going on or did the coach?Why has Warner all of a sudden spoken out?
Things are gonna get messy. If not already.
Im leaning towards Pat Cummings being the honest one.

I don't like Cummins but I believe he's telling the truth. I also played lots of cricket and this sand paper thing happens a lot. All over the world at all levels this kind of thing. Honestly it should have been a fine and 3 game suspension. This has been blown WAY out of proportion.
Why has it taken Usman 8yrs to tell his side of the story?
Id say it was because he was an employee of CA. Now that he's no longer earning an income he's coming out. For mine if he waited for his career to end, he should have also waited for the others who are still playing to retire also.
In saying this the player i feel for is Bancroft. He was made the scapegoat and made to look like he conspired with the two captains only. In truth many other players knew it seems, and Uzman coming out helps Bancroft.
I believe a lot more players knew about what happened in multiple tests, and the truth will eventually come out.
Warner also backed Uzman up on everything, so obviously some people are lying and I believe the the whole team knew, and should come out and not let Bancroft be the scapegoat which is disgraceful imo. You never let another person take the hit, whilst someone else carries on like nothing happened.
