Shane Warne saying that “You are not allowed to make contact with another player”is so ironic Anyone remembers when he pulled marlon samuels shirt in the BBL XD Oh the irony it’s killin me 😂😂😂
Ayushmaan Singh Warne was/is no angel and he'd be the first to admit this (he does at 18:17!), but I honestly don't think he would take if off the field the way Warner did in the stairwell. That was Warne's point.
The real question to be asked here is, would Warnie have done what he did, if Samuels didn't grab Warnie's teammate? Let's not forget what happened and how it started.
I love it when they show the slowmo of Bancroft hide in the sand paper and you can hear all the aussies in the background saying "what are you doing mate?!" and "oh no!" Hilarious! 😂
@@swanandsathe2800 yep would be really surprised if we win that one since most of the good ones are either hurt or back in India. We lost Jadeja, Bumrah, Kl rahul, Umesh, Shami, and Vihari.
Great documentary from Supersport. I missed it in TV over the festive, I am glad they posted it here. Worth watching. That was a series to remember. Sad that it was the last one for AB but the show has to go on.
Even after this incident Cricket Australia came back stronger.....they won the t20 WC 2021, WTC-23, ODI WC-23...... nothing but respect to this challenging cricket team🔥
Nah...after this incident they didn't bounced back. They lost after this too and had to change players then they made a comeback. But yeah tough time for the players included in that squad.
This is what Australia is so great as a democracy. But there are still arrogance to win at all cost and they deserved to be punished. This well made documentary is a watershed and an eternal reminder to be FairPlay. Great job.
Not so sure about that. Popular sportsmen get forgiven like them, Ben Cousins and Wayne Carey. Others aren't so lucky. Its not a matter of what you did, its a matter of who you are and which 'big boys' you annoyed.
Remember watching every minute of this series, absolutely hooked! Such a shame that the ball tampering fiasco has undermined so much sensational cricket with a personal favourite being Dean Elgar's century along with Morkel's 300th wicket in Cape Town.

I grew up watching the great West Indian team of the 80's, then seeing Australia be blessed with some fantastic sides / players and i believe I may never see a team of talented players, in the one side like that again in my lifetime. Somewhere along the way, the culture of the Australian cricket side diminished. I think, Cricket Australia wanted this current side to be good as the previous Australian teams (Allan Border/Mark Taylor/Steve Waugh era) and focused on winning at all costs rather than playing cricket in the way it should be played. I too as an Australia, was starting to dislike the culture. I was deeply hurt and embarrassed by what actions those 2 men did, and for Steve Smith for not standing up, being a true captain, a being a real leader. I was not alone in these feelings as you can see by this documentary all of Australia were hurt and angry with what they did. I like how the 3 players punishments were harsh by Cricket Australia. But I don't feel lifetime bans (as mentioned by some people) were warranted or justified considering how many ball tampering incidents I have see in all my years of watching cricket and the punishment being handed down to those players. This was a great documentary, although, as an Australian, it was hard to watch. I am, however, glad these guys were caught. Maybe, just maybe, this can be the thing that changes the Australian culture in the way cricket as it should be played. If they lose they lose, if they win, they win. As long as they play the game honestly and in the spirit of the game, that's all that counts (winning would be nice though). Australia, based on the next test, is already trying to fix this toxic culture. I hope this continues. I hope everyone from all sports can look at this as an example and see that there is no room in sports for cheating. The impacts it makes to fellow players, their families and most importantly the fans. I hope these 3 players learn from their mistake and come back, bigger, better and show us they can play this game in a way it should be played. Well done South Africa for a well deserved series win. Well done SuperSport for a great documentary. Thank you or taking the time to ready my comments.
@@mickeymouse3807 I dont agree, Ponting had a play to win mentality and so did Steve Waugh. You need a lot of grit and attitude to be the best at anything, Faf DuPlessis just like Graeme Smith are hard nuts. I like thair take no prisoners attitude in the game. Have a look at New Zealand who try to be the nice guys and be too fair. Nice guys do finish last, they should have been pissed at how the World Cup was stolen from them. Do you think the English would have reacted as the Kiwis did? Not a chance in hell. You need to find a balance and I think our toxic culture had gone too far and crossed the line, they seem much better now but will still play to win as they should.
@@eoinociarain7986 Everyone plays to win my friend. But as you said the toxic culture went too far and crossed the line. Thats all I was trying to say.
J Smith it went from the Australian team of the 2005 ashes, who played the game hard but fair as we saw in that great series ( in fact I think that was what made it probably the greatest test series ever, the spirit in which it was played), to the ball tampering and insults crap shown in this series.
@@mrkipling2201 Yeah, I think the culture went very bad under Clarke's captaincy. I have a feeling that it has something to do with players in the team not always maintaining the form to keep their spot in the team. The Australian sledging is gross. I really hate that our team are such entitled pricks.
Absolutely no way the bowlers didn’t know about this and they got away Scott free. Bowlers pay so much attention to the ball in International cricket and if they didn’t say anything they are just as guilty as Bancroft, Smith and Warner. Also find it funny that since this series the amount of reverse swing they get as almost disappeared. Series vs Pakistan in UAE was hardly any or very rough, dry and abrasive pitches.
Christopher Holman you’re buffoon they possibly had an idea but the ball was not affected they didn’t even change the ball because the umpires decide the ball was not affected by the sandpaper
Randy Schwing are you that stupid you couldn’t even read what I said ? The sand paper wasn’t effectively used the ball wasn’t changed because the sand paper had no impact on the ball. how hard is that to wrap your head around..... so dumb.
@@divyanshudubey6418 I like the term escapegoat but in serious the bowlers knew full well what was going on and that got scot free. I know the bucks stop with the captain but Smith got the raw end of the deal and the actual culprits were never really caught
I remember the camera zooming in on David Warners hands while fielding in slips just before they caught the Bancroft sandpaper footage. Almost every one of his fingers on both hands were heavily bandaged and commentators were questioning why. At that time, Aussies were getting old ball to reverse swing when no other team could. It seemed they suspected something dodgy was going on. The rest is history.
While I was appalled as an Aussie by what occurred here, in a way I’m kind of glad that it did because it was only going to take something like this for the team to finally be held to account for their behaviour. It was getting to the point that I was starting not to like watching cricket because of all the bullshit. Great documentary by the way.
@@shyamnagarajan7266 No - they were caught! So they were forced to adress it. If they were not caught, do you think in would have been adressed in this fashion? I do not think so
@@BurtonRdForever Yeah cause no one ever does something out of character in the heat of battle can tell none of you have ever played sport.(not talking about the ball tampering)
I love the way Kagiso Rabada screams in the face of batsmen he’s just dismissed. It shows how passionate he is and how much better he is than those Australian batsmen. I wish more bowlers would do this.
Such a quality production. I come back and watch this every year or so. They capture the narrative so well, with the unfolding over events in time. I wonder what the principal personalities involved have learned, looking back. On a deep level, not just in terms of how to manage tactics and appearance. On my bucket list, to one day go to Newlands and watch a test match from the side of the ground looking across at Table Mountain, what a glorious backdrop. And as always, RIP Shane Warne.
Dunn Agreed, really enjoyed seeing the story, well edited and structured; however, my only (slight8 criticism was the use of music to build and create tension...detracted from the talk for me
There are better ones bro.... better cricket documentaries...but yess Mark Nicholas always does a good job , so was Holding and Haysman....I missed Ricky Ponting though !!
@@nabilion I actually have been watching a lot lately, especially the Big Bash. I think I’m starting to pick it up. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot I’m still trying to get, but I’m much more knowledgeable then when I wrote that....That said, I still have like 5 questions a day so....
@@mattkrywyj5184 Don't watch Big bash mate for the sake of learning , only it can provide you entertainment with below par umpiring and some "out-of-context" new rules that are affecting the game .

@dipankar sanon So you learn cricket by watching bbl? I didn't mock him bro if you can understand what I said you shouldn't have said this but anyway what more can I expect
This is a great production! Cricket definitely needs more films like this. I also think SA does not get as much media coverage as the big three (AUS, ENG, IND). Yes, the big three are great sides but I think SA has always been as strong as those sides (in Tests) over a long period of time. But their rivalry with the big three sides is not given enough nice film productions and media spice like the Ashes or Border-Gavaskar series etc. ENG, AUS and IND also have great broadcasters (Nasser Hussein, Michael Atherton, Harsha Bhogle etc.) they are always discussing the rivalries and build up to the series with the big three for Ashes and Border-Gavaskar series but SA is not really doing this on the same level. It is sad...
New Zealand never get the props, consecutive 50 over finals, the second one was never lost (the umpires mucked up and should have never gone to a super over) t20 final and world test champions, thrashing India with everything stacked against them. They are the best performing team in the world and even you fail to recognise
Can't imagine Starc not knowing Bancroft was sand papering as he took most advantage of it Edit: I realize this is nothing but a presumption. Starc may have had no knowledge and still found good purchase on the ball
Being an American and admittly not much of a cricket fan, until recently this, sadly is the first I have seen or heard of this. First off, anyone who cheats at anything is an integrity violator. Plain and simple. Secondly, thank you so much for putting together such a great piece. Loved it. Cheers.
haha every cricket fan una no one cares about this useless documentary by quotaafrica jokers after this documentary icc trophies by southafrica:0 australia:3
brilliant doco, superbly produced. Missed the part about Australians lying about the method to tamper the ball in the original presser but otherwise captured the events of that series superbly.
Since they have come back after the ban, smith and warner are totally different. Smith has become a run machine but also showing good sportsmanship even during the game. Applauding great deliveries from people like jack leach. While warner seems to have decided to give his wicket to Stuart broad in the first over every game.
The measure of a captain should be based on how his players conduct themselves on the field. In this respect, and based on how Australia have behaved against India, Smith is still a disgrace.
Absolutely marvelously documented by SS. Such thing will surely promote the beauty of test cricket. This was the last series of AB devilliers and worth do be documented also. Miss you badly on those white. As he said " this will be series to remember" and it was. There will be no one like AB again.
It's amazing the standard to which cricket holds these things, compared to football where every other game there is stuff going on that is 10 times more violent than this
No mention here that they lied at the first press conference. Bancroft initially said that he used some yellow tape for the bat and tried to add some dirt from the pitch and Smith agreed. Later it turned out that it was really sandpaper!! Liars.... and that was when the mess really hit the fan in Australia. I'm a Brit so I loved it all
That’s pretty rich coming from an Englishman seeing as Michael Vaughan and the English squad all confessed to ball tempering throughout the entire 05 ashes series. Which England won, the outcome could have been very different if they were caught.
@@mrachakravartymhs2168 Under Law 41, subsection 3 of the Laws of Cricket, the ball may be polished without the use of an artificial substance, may be dried with a towel if it is wet, and have mud removed from it under supervision; all other actions which alter the condition of the ball are illegal.

You need to find a balance and I think our toxic culture had gone too far and crossed the line, they seem much better now but will still play to win as they should.
@@eoinociarain7986 Everyone plays to win my friend. But as you said the toxic culture went too far and crossed the line. Thats all I was trying to say.
J Smith it went from the Australian team of the 2005 ashes, who played the game hard but fair as we saw in that great series ( in fact I think that was what made it probably the greatest test series ever, the spirit in which it was played), to the ball tampering and insults crap shown in this series.
@@mrkipling2201 Yeah, I think the culture went very bad under Clarke's captaincy. I have a feeling that it has something to do with players in the team not always maintaining the form to keep their spot in the team. The Australian sledging is gross. I really hate that our team are such entitled pricks.
For everything that happened during the series, I'd like to remember AB's unbelievable 100 at PE when the ball was hooping around. Pure genius
This series was definitely the most dramatic series of our age. Right from the first match.
Absolutely no way the bowlers didn’t know about this and they got away Scott free. Bowlers pay so much attention to the ball in International cricket and if they didn’t say anything they are just as guilty as Bancroft, Smith and Warner.
Also find it funny that since this series the amount of reverse swing they get as almost disappeared. Series vs Pakistan in UAE was hardly any or very rough, dry and abrasive pitches.
Christopher Holman you’re buffoon they possibly had an idea but the ball was not affected they didn’t even change the ball because the umpires decide the ball was not affected by the sandpaper
Christopher Holman ok did,ckdjfkix.illlod Sci
@@ericcartman8694 what an idiotic comment...the ball wasnt affected by the sandpaper???? Wtf...then why use it?
Randy Schwing are you that stupid you couldn’t even read what I said ? The sand paper wasn’t effectively used the ball wasn’t changed because the sand paper had no impact on the ball. how hard is that to wrap your head around..... so dumb.
@@ericcartman8694 mate ur the only dumb b*stard here.
"whether it is the culture they've been going on for a while.." on point Smith!
Exactly
Warne: "it's good to see Lehmann put his family first" 😆 says the man who betrayed his own family by cheating on his wife on numerous occasions.
He is a hypocrite.
Anyone here after Bancroft decided he never wants to play for Australia again by outing the bowlers?
😂😂
oh he is just pissed of well he was a escapegoat it happens
Are you talking about the guardian interview?
@@divyanshudubey6418 I like the term escapegoat but in serious the bowlers knew full well what was going on and that got scot free. I know the bucks stop with the captain but Smith got the raw end of the deal and the actual culprits were never really caught
As an England fan I am happy to see these players back playing again, served there time and it’s time to move on
Unfortunately Bancroft's career got tanked
Not sure his technique was up to up to be honest
Well cheaters are cheaters and you can't take that
They are cheaters. No one will ever forget this
"This series would be one to remember "Ab de Villiers
Ab fan is here. Nice to see you. We have some class of flavor
Yep then he retired immediately after that series
Or one to forget
Love Pollock's analysis . He is so on point, very unbiased and very calm
Yes, very much agree
Cameraman: ''the hero of the documentary''
I remember the camera zooming in on David Warners hands while fielding in slips just before they caught the Bancroft sandpaper footage. Almost every one of his fingers on both hands were heavily bandaged and commentators were questioning why. At that time, Aussies were getting old ball to reverse swing when no other team could. It seemed they suspected something dodgy was going on. The rest is history.
While I was appalled as an Aussie by what occurred here, in a way I’m kind of glad that it did because it was only going to take something like this for the team to finally be held to account for their behaviour. It was getting to the point that I was starting not to like watching cricket because of all the bullshit.
Great documentary by the way.
Yes they've been doing this for a minute!
@@optoms1178 i hate comments like these. Every team has cheated including south Africa. Aus was actually a country that addresses it
most honest comment by an Aussie ever
@@shyamnagarajan7266 😂😂
@@shyamnagarajan7266 No - they were caught! So they were forced to adress it. If they were not caught, do you think in would have been adressed in this fashion? I do not think so
Shouldn't happen on the field
-shane warne
Marlon samuels agrees
😂😂😂😂😂
Ha ha! Yeah man.
He also called aravinda de Silva (who was his mate) a fat cunt on the field during the ‘96 World Cup final
Shane warne was a brilliant bowler but hes a double dyed hypocrite.
@@BurtonRdForever Yeah cause no one ever does something out of character in the heat of battle can tell none of you have ever played sport.(not talking about the ball tampering)
did you even listen to Warne? he admitted himself that he isn't perfect. Get a grip
I love the way Kagiso Rabada screams in the face of batsmen he’s just dismissed. It shows how passionate he is and how much better he is than those Australian batsmen. I wish more bowlers would do this.
U think he is better than smith?
@@tusharLM10 oh yes. His behaviour is completely warranted. Bowlers should definitely be allowed to scream in the faces of batsman they dismiss.
@@Superfly1503 no they shouldn't. That is immature. Even 12 year olds act more maturely than than dark dude
@@shakkthikannan270 "dark dude" says the Indian lmao
@NoName066 not being rude but there is a limit to celebrating a victory. Also Sri Lankan as a correction.
Such a quality production. I come back and watch this every year or so. They capture the narrative so well, with the unfolding over events in time. I wonder what the principal personalities involved have learned, looking back. On a deep level, not just in terms of how to manage tactics and appearance. On my bucket list, to one day go to Newlands and watch a test match from the side of the ground looking across at Table Mountain, what a glorious backdrop. And as always, RIP Shane Warne.
Very underrated documentary, def needs about million views soon!
Very insightful and well edited documentary SuperSport, keep it up!
Dunn Agreed, really enjoyed seeing the story, well edited and structured; however, my only (slight8 criticism was the use of music to build and create tension...detracted from the talk for me
There are better ones bro.... better cricket documentaries...but yess Mark Nicholas always does a good job , so was Holding and Haysman....I missed Ricky Ponting though !!
@@AngusRobins how dumb!!😳😳😳
Look at how calm rabada is in the interview and how shaken Steve Smith is
Just a ordinary ball by rabada nothing special Smith just missed it
Believe me Graeme Smith Loved every moment following the sandpaper gate
14:18 gave me goosebumps.....AB at its best
AB IS the best.
Found this by accident in Philadelphia, PA USA...It's really interesting, but I cannot even begin to put the rules of this game in context LOL
I can explain if need be.
@@nabilion I actually have been watching a lot lately, especially the Big Bash. I think I’m starting to pick it up. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot I’m still trying to get, but I’m much more knowledgeable then when I wrote that....That said, I still have like 5 questions a day so....
@@mattkrywyj5184 Don't watch Big bash mate for the sake of learning , only it can provide you entertainment with below par umpiring and some "out-of-context" new rules that are affecting the game .
Watch any test series initially you'll feel bored , but trust me you'll get the aura once you follow it on regular basis.
@@aritrasaha914 very true
@dipankar sanon So you learn cricket by watching bbl? I didn't mock him bro if you can understand what I said you shouldn't have said this but anyway what more can I expect
One of the best cricket documentaries ever in RUclips, wonderful work by Supersport (Africa)
This is a great production! Cricket definitely needs more films like this. I also think SA does not get as much media coverage as the big three (AUS, ENG, IND). Yes, the big three are great sides but I think SA has always been as strong as those sides (in Tests) over a long period of time. But their rivalry with the big three sides is not given enough nice film productions and media spice like the Ashes or Border-Gavaskar series etc. ENG, AUS and IND also have great broadcasters (Nasser Hussein, Michael Atherton, Harsha Bhogle etc.) they are always discussing the rivalries and build up to the series with the big three for Ashes and Border-Gavaskar series but SA is not really doing this on the same level. It is sad...
New Zealand never get the props, consecutive 50 over finals, the second one was never lost (the umpires mucked up and should have never gone to a super over) t20 final and world test champions, thrashing India with everything stacked against them. They are the best performing team in the world and even you fail to recognise
Can't imagine Starc not knowing Bancroft was sand papering as he took most advantage of it
Edit: I realize this is nothing but a presumption. Starc may have had no knowledge and still found good purchase on the ball
Of course he knew. Anyone who looked at the ball as closely as the bowlers would have known.
he was immediately caught tampering so everyone knew
Lucius Vorenus ball wasn’t tampered with in the first game....
Lucius Vorenus and when it was, nothing came of it in terms of swing
He knew!
Being an American and admittly not much of a cricket fan, until recently this, sadly is the first I have seen or heard of this. First off, anyone who cheats at anything is an integrity violator. Plain and simple.
Secondly, thank you so much for putting together such a great piece. Loved it. Cheers.

Watch this too. You'll understand more of it.
Look into the Americas cup prior to 1983 mate, you're country is not beyond cheating either.
Follow England mate, don’t listen to the bitter Aussies
No cheating in baseball then. Or peds use by American athletes?
"Australia landed the first punch" literally and metaphorically 😂
😂😂😂 ascribed so preciously
Hands down the best cricket documentary I have watched on RUclips.
ABD ..💝...Love From India ...What a player !!
I have seen this historic moment live!! It was really unbelievable 😱😱
From every cricket Fan to Supersport, THANK YOU ❤
haha every cricket fan una no one cares about this useless documentary by quotaafrica jokers
after this documentary icc trophies by southafrica:0

Just love watching Graeme Smith talk, I can listen to him all day.
brilliant doco, superbly produced. Missed the part about Australians lying about the method to tamper the ball in the original presser but otherwise captured the events of that series superbly.
What level of documentary 👍👍👍
Great insight , Great commentators .
Should be made often to keep test cricket alive .
What a documentary this is!! Please, more like this please ❤️
Steve smith crying without single drop of tears....
Crocodile
It's funny how they acted like victims after all of this.
Watch the full interview dammit
And you probably must have cried for his comeback 144 at Edgbaston 🤣
Man...what a doccie...this is by far one of the best Sporting Documentaries I’ve ever watched... SUPERSPORT jou lekka ding 🙌🏿🇿🇦
Since they have come back after the ban, smith and warner are totally different. Smith has become a run machine but also showing good sportsmanship even during the game. Applauding great deliveries from people like jack leach. While warner seems to have decided to give his wicket to Stuart broad in the first over every game.
The measure of a captain should be based on how his players conduct themselves on the field. In this respect, and based on how Australia have behaved against India, Smith is still a disgrace.
He cheated again....
Certainly didn’t look good.
@@rudranarayan8762 no he didn't idiot
@@DavyBrando no doubt a salty pom still sad he had to watch Smith dismantle his favourite cricketers in 2019/2017
the thing is that rabada is actually being serious in the conference but the people think hes talking sarcastically
😂😂😂
😂😂
No matter of u winning or not world Cup u won whole heart of million of cricket fans around the world thankyou proteas
Absolutely marvelously documented by SS. Such thing will surely promote the beauty of test cricket. This was the last series of AB devilliers and worth do be documented also. Miss you badly on those white. As he said " this will be series to remember" and it was. There will be no one like AB again.
*Shane Warne* : You are not allowed to make a contact with another player
*Marlon Samuels* : My answer is also same , No difference !
The Icc was too petty in that incident with Rabada.
It's amazing the standard to which cricket holds these things, compared to football where every other game there is stuff going on that is 10 times more violent than this
Cricket is no-contact sport unlike football.
Supersport you beauty.!
What a classic documentry.!
Thanks
It was a hell of a series
Ab predicted it right
No mention here that they lied at the first press conference. Bancroft initially said that he used some yellow tape for the bat and tried to add some dirt from the pitch and Smith agreed. Later it turned out that it was really sandpaper!! Liars.... and that was when the mess really hit the fan in Australia. I'm a Brit so I loved it all
correct pete
thy say players openep up but thy didnt
That’s pretty rich coming from an Englishman seeing as Michael Vaughan and the English squad all confessed to ball tempering throughout the entire 05 ashes series.
Which England won, the outcome could have been very different if they were caught.
@@mrachakravartymhs2168 Under Law 41, subsection 3 of the Laws of Cricket, the ball may be polished without the use of an artificial substance, may be dried with a towel if it is wet, and have mud removed from it under supervision; all other actions which alter the condition of the ball are illegal.
Don't argue with facts.
@@mrachakravartymhs2168 It IS ball tampering mate. Every team does it? It doesn't make it legal.
I take it that they were doing the same thing in the last ashes series??
The best cricket documentary avaliable worldwide I've seen in years,stupendous job from supersport and South Africa-England fan
Steve Smith came back and proved why he’s the best since Tendulkar and Ponting and is a top 6-7 batsman of all time.
I imagine Markram was totally suicidal over being told his shirt wasn't ironed
