Australian cricket is still reeling from their biggest scandal in years, as the cricket world awaits the fallout of the investigation into ball tampering in Australia's test series against South Africa.
In a press conference in Johannesburg today, Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland revealed that the investigation found only threeplayers were involved - captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.
One of the biggest revelations of Sutherland's press conference was that Australian coach Darren Lehmann was cleared of any prior knowledge of the plan to ball tamper, and will continue in his role as coach for now.
However, video has surfaced on social media of Lehmann admitting to knowing about "techniques" used by his side to get the ball to reverse swing has prompted questions from the public about the Aussie coach's knowledge of the scandal.
"Obviously there's techniques used by both sides to get the ball to reverse," Lehmann said to media earlier in the series.
"That's just the way the game goes. I have no problems with it."
When asked if he thought the techniques were acceptable to the ICC, Lehmann replied: "I don't know yet, you'll have to ask the umpires and ICC about that one."
Many have expressed their disbelief at Sutherland's assertion that only three members of the Australian team knew what was going on, suggesting more members of the visiting camp had to be aware of what was planned.
Sutherland announced a wider investigation into "team culture" will take place, which will likely further scrutinize Lehmann and his methods, and ultimately decide his fate as head coach.
That’s plain sight daylight admission of being involved in ball tampering reasoning being everyone is doing it.
