It will be an interesting time when David Warner writes a book, says Stuart Broad after fresh ‘Sandpaper-gate’ revelations
England pacer Stuart Broad has said that it would be interesting to see if David Warner decides to write a book on his career and if he includes the ball-tampering episode from 2018 in it once he stops playing cricket. Ever since Cameron Bancroft revealed that more than three people about ball-tampering plans during the Cape Town Test against South Africa in 2018, the fiasco has once again become a talking point in the cricketing world.
"I've obviously never bowled within the Australian bowling attack but I can talk about how, in an England Test team, if I miss the seam by four millimeters, Jimmy Anderson is on me,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Broad as saying. “He'll be saying why has this ball got a mark on it here? It's because you've missed the seam! Start hitting the seam, will you? “Reverse swing with the red ball can be affected by so many different things. If you chase it to the boundary and throw it into the grass it can smooth the ball over and stop it from reversing. If you touch the ball with wet hands it will stop it from reversing. If you shine it in a way that smoothly moves over the rough side it will stop it reversing,” he added.
