that picture & "ball tampering" just leads to a world of misunderstandings.
Root gone last ball of the day, England in trouble. 132-3 and needing to bat out the last day still 237 behind

I see a young South African supporter asked one of the Aussie team for an autograph and when he agreed gave him a pen and a piece of sandpaper to sign.
Michael Vaughn has asked that very question. In fact, he doesn't ask so much as say he's pretty sure they must have.

Very strong punishments indeed, I don't remember SA and England receiving similar bans after their ball tampering shenanigans

Think the pre meditated nature of it is what makes it worse. Plus fact they got a newer guy in team to do it.
Reminds me of the Pakistan fixing issues where Captain almost forced young 17 year old kid to bowl no balls.

Think sometimes they may just pick up bit of dirt or dig in with nail in the moment. Rather than sit down at lunch plan it, then hide the evidence down your trousers when caught.
No, there was the finger nail one a number of years ago. Pressure in losing or not being able to get someone out they just sliced the side of the ball with a finger nail.
Smith has always been a rat-faced little ****, one of those that will push the limits of 'banter' and an arrogant prick. And speaking of arrogant pricks, Warner is as big as they come, full of his own self worth. I doubt whether Warner is truly sorry and probably doesn't think he's done much wrong.
To be fair, the use of a finger nail to open the seam in some way has been around for many decades and all Test sides push the boundaries (
)with ball tampering. The Aussies got caught this time, but everyone has done it at some point.
