'I made a big mistake': Australia's Cameron Bancroft on his ball-tampering shame

Daily Mail  

Eight months on and the noise of that unforgiving Edgbaston crowd is still ringing in Cameron Bancroft’s ears. But on the field, I couldn’t have pictured in 1,000 years that that’s what was going to happen.’ The recent Amazon Prime series The Test makes painful viewing for Cameron Bancroft Bancroft is, of course, recalling the atmosphere at last August’s Ashes opener, which he has recently relived by watching The Test, the behind-the-scenes documentary about the Australia team. But I certainly know that Steve wouldn’t have had it any other way because he loves that stuff.’ His world came crashing down after he was caught roughing up the ball in Cape Town Indeed, Smith thrived off the hostilities and hit centuries in each innings as Australia breached England’s ‘fortress’ to win the first Test by 251 runs. ‘It definitely hurt at the time but it will go down in history as one of the greatest games to have ever been played.’ Bancroft was also in the boardroom of the team’s hotel when Australia coach Justin Langer conducted his brutal Headingley post-mortem. ‘Certainly at that time, I felt like if I couldn’t play any cricket any more and I found some enjoyment doing something that was really fulfilling and didn’t involve scoring runs and playing cricket, that was a really good learning thing for me.’ Right now, it is yoga and meditation that is helping Bancroft get through his latest career break – one that has this time been enforced by a global pandemic rather than a global sports scandal.
