"That team cheated and lied. Then lied about the cheating. And lied about the lying."

“Of the Australian cricket team in South Africa in 2018, it can only be concluded:

"That team cheated and lied.

"Then lied about the cheating.

"And lied about the lying. ...

"Khawaja's book makes clear that sandpaper was used with effect prior to the disgrace of Cape Town and everybody knew. It was the culmination of the team's rather desperate and devious ball tampering strategy." ...

" Cricket Australia chose a method of containment and scapegoating rather than facing the whole truth. So by design the investigation was don't ask don't tell, relied on three players taking a fall." ... 

"Those responsible chose a delusion which is hard to accept. That no player would ever tell the full truth. This day was always coming."
