Former Australian captain Allan Border is the latest cricketing figure to weigh in on the issue, urging Cricket Australia to lift the ban as soon as possible.

In the aftermath of the sandpaper scandal in the Cape Town Test against South Africa in 2018. Warner, Steven Smith, and Cameron Bancroft were barred from playing international and domestic cricket for up to a year. The Australian board was harsh in their indictment of Smith and Warner, with the former barred from taking on leadership roles for two years and the latter barred from captaincy for life.

Scratching the ball causes it to swing backwards: Allan Border

“It was a harsh penalty to begin with… let’s move on; They’ve served their time. ” I’m sure every other side is doing the same thing we were caught doing. If every captain put their hands on their hearts and said. ‘I wasn’t doing anything similar, they’d be telling ‘porky pies’ (lies). “Given the knowledge around the cricket fraternity where this has been going on, the bans those boys receive were a little over the top for the crime. ” Border told The West Australian on Monday.

The 66-year-old, who led a young, unheralded Australian team to World Cup glory in 1987. Stated that scratching the ball with the hand is not wrong. Natural ball tempering, he believes, should be permitted in cricket. Because it allows bowlers to induce reverse swing from the ball and level the playing field in tough bowling conditions on batting-friendly decks.

“What’s wrong if you get the ball in your hand… just scratching the ball and working on it over time, and you get the ball reverse swinging?” It’s not a bad idea because you need something on flat wickets. Otherwise, the scores will just blow out, and that’s what happens now when we start preparing result wickets because getting good players out on very flat tracks is difficult,” Border added.
