Bancrofts own form has cost him but I reckon it would hurt him sitting there seeing the rest succeeding whilst he is just coasting along as he gets closer to 30 years old.

Maybe he did and CA chose not to disclose it?

It is from our point of view as the public but in a hypothetical would you feel that if you were Bancroft and the actual truth was a lot deeper and more disturbing than we thought.

Knows his International career is over so trying to make a buck. Had 3 years to tell the full story and didn’t.

Michael Clarke spoken up in support, what most of us thought that the bowlers got away with blue murder here, as if they did not know what was going on. They look at the ball before every delivery, they are not stupid. Bancroft and Warner had to take the fall, if they spoke up they would never be picked again, cant move to another team like in AFL, so they had their hands tied really.

Stiff shit, Warner ordered the call, Bancroft done the act, Smith pretended to not know about it but was the captain, they are the 3 key figures, they sat out and rightly so.
What were the bowlers meant to do? "Oh look here umpire, one of our players has been tampering with the ball".

The bowlers should not have played dumb as if they knew nothing about it. They were the main people to benefit out of it. Still believe they got out of it lightly but will cop it in the future and rightly so.

1. that wasn't the first time but rather an escalation of finding new methods. Taking sandpaper on the field to tamper is like buying a Ferrari for your first car. You don't go straight to the grande you build up and eventually go big at the end. Look at the footage from the test before in Sydney where Bancroft was filling his pockets with sugar.
2. More than just the 3 player involved knew and were part of it including bowlers and Lehmann.
3. Historically was happening and there was a culture around it......wouldn't be surprised to see another 'youngish' type player come out and say they were asked to or did do it at some point.
4. All test teams have been doing it...and it pretty much was the only proper way to get a ball hooping for reverse swing...we haven't really seen much reverse swing since. Reverse swing was essentially code for tampered ball. Which is why or how they could never really agree on how swing worked and was created.
