The ball-tampering was done by Cameron Bancroft during the 3rd Test against South Africa. Bancroft later admitted that Steve Smith and the leadership group was in the know-how of what was happening. This has already hurt fans who are not willing to spare the culprits as they feel betrayed.

It is hilarious as Smith and Warner have been asked to return to Australia and Air New Zealand have made an offer to Smith to give a lesson to the Kiwi bowlers as to how to cheat within the rules. It is understandable that New Zealand is taking a jibe at Australia because they have always been traditional rivals — on the field of cricket or rugby.
