Ian Gould: Australia was out of control before 2018 scandal

The Hindu  

Australian cricketers had gone “out of control” and turned “pretty average people” two-three years before the ball-tampering scandal, says former ICC Elite Panel umpire Ian Gould, who was the TV official in the infamous Cape Town Test of 2018. Gould, who retired after last year’s World Cup, relayed what had been spotted on the TV -- Cameron Bancroft putting sandpaper down his trousers -- to the on-field umpires. “It was a bit like on Mastermind when the light is on top of you and you’re going - oh dear, how do I talk through this?” Ball-tampering was classed as a level two offence under the ICC Code of Conduct, but it has since been elevated to a level three category, which carries a ban of up to six Tests or 12 ODIs. Gould admitted he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing on TV, but said what came out of it was good for the game, especially Australian cricket.
