I was actually listening to the ABC online broadcast of play last / early this morning when the incident was brought to light and have to say that I'm dismayed and disappointed. Any ethical and moral high ground that the team may have had after the sledging incidents and crowd abuse has evaporated. That it seems it was a premeditated plan to scuff the ball and to be caught out so blatantly should involve match suspensions and fines. Should Steve Smith lose the captaincy, probably not, going by previous incidents of ball tampering by other teams but it is a low light in our proud cricketing traditions.
