As India battled valiantly to save the third Test in Sydney, Tim Paine, the Australia captain, swore towards an umpire, abused one opponent, Hanuma Vihari \u2014 who, despite a hamstring injury, soaked up 161 balls to help India to a draw \u2014 and called another, Ravichandran Ashwin, a \u201cdickhead\u201d. Steve Smith, for his part, scuffed up the crease, hoping \u2014 it appeared \u2014 to push Rishabh Pant, who had developed an impressive rhythm, out of his stride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In case you\u2019d forgotten, this was supposed to be Australia 2.0. A new version of the old team. In the aftermath of Sandpapergate \u2014 in which the Aussies were found guilty of tampering with aball to gain an unfair advantage during a Test match against South Africa in March 2018 \u2014 we were told of a watershed, a step change in attitudes. Cricket Australia commissioned a review that was not only about punishing the miscreants but finding the \u201ccultural root causes\u201d. Hell, the prime minister even got in on the act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The result was a 145-page report by a body calling itself the Ethics Centre. It was presented as the document that had uncovered everything that was rotten about Australian cricket and which provided a new direction of travel. Much ink was spilled welcoming this \u201clandmark\u201d treatise, this \u201cmature\u201d contribution to sporting ethics, perhaps even world peace. It was nothing of the sort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">I perhaps should mention that much of my non-journalistic professional life is spent advising on rootcause reviews. A strange job, you may say, but hey ho. Either way, I read this \u201cseminal\u201d document with what I can only describe as a growing sense of disbelief. \u201cSandpaper\u201d was mentioned only twice across its voluminous pages. As for the Australia cricket team, supposedly eager to take part in the groundbreaking review, only 24 per cent of them bothered to respond to the questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Perhaps this is why the report did not come close to finding out what had actually happened in Cape Town. To this day, only three people have admitted wrongdoing \u2014 Smith and David Warner, who were banned for 12 months, and Cameron Bancroft, who was banned for nine. Australian Cricket, for its part, continues to connive at the idea that the conspiracy did not extend to anybody else in the squad, let alone the coaching staff (though Darren Lehmann, the former coach, quit at the end of that South Africa series). To describe this as fantastical is an understatement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Just ask Andrew Flintoff, who said it was \u201cinconceivable\u201d that the bowlers were not in on it. \u201cThe ball is the most important thing in your armoury. If it is being roughed up, you know immediately.\u201d Michael Vaughan made the same point, tweeting at the time: \u201cOnly 3 people knew . . . #MyArse\u201d. Even some Australians have poured scorn on the whitewash. Michael Clarke, the former captain, said: \u201cToo many reputations on the line for the full story not to come out. Cape Town change room is a very small place!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">My point is this: how could a review into the cultural problems in Australian cricket be taken seriously when it didn\u2019t find out what happened? How can you put things right when you don\u2019t know what went wrong? This wasn\u2019t a root-cause review; it was a nod and a wink. We didn\u2019t even find out how long cheating had been taking place. Call me cynical, but I am not buying the idea that the first time they conspired to defraud their opponents just happened to be the first time they were caught.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56444 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Paine-verbally-abused-Ashwin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Paine verbally abused Ashwin, as the Australians became frustrated by India\u2019s resistance on the final day in Sydney<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">This is why the seeds of what happened yesterday were contained in that cover-up of 2018. The only thing the players learnt from that scandal is that the only crime is to get caught. If you can get away with it, you\u2019re laughing all the way to the SCG. Did Australian Cricket decide that its commercial contracts were too precious to jeopardise by looking into what had really been taking place? Were they worried about what a serious review might have uncovered?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">And so we arrive at more recent events. In the interests of fairness, it is worth mentioning that we have not yet heard Smith\u2019s side of the story, but \u2014 speaking for myself \u2014 I will struggle to believe a word he says. He is a brilliant batsman but we all know that when the allegations started to fly in Cape Town, he (like Warner) lied to match officials until the moment it was clear he was banged to rights. This is not someone high on credibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">SPONSORED<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">I also worry that some cricket insiders still do not understand the scale of public anger at these and other incidents. Former professionals insist that footballers cheat and swear at opponents, so why can\u2019t we? I would personally like to see the football authorities cracking down on such behaviour but, either way, isn\u2019t cricket supposed to be more civilised? Why should it sink to the lowest common denominator? As the great writer and critic Sir Neville Cardus once put it: \u201cIt is far more than a game, this cricket.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56446 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/new-culture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #800000;\">IN YOUR INBOX<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #800000;\">Sport newsletter<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #800000;\">Every Friday morning, Elgan Alderman takes you through the best of sport with exclusive interviews and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #800000;\">agenda-setting comment<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It perhaps goes without saying that the Australians are not the only team to have sledged or illegally tampered with the ball. We in England know this particular story comes very close to home. I do think, though, that there is a distinct problem in the Australia team \u2014 dare I say it, a cultural problem. A winat-all-costs mentality, a willingness to abuse opponents, a tendency even to mock their own players \u2014 such as the peerless Adam Gilchrist \u2014 when they seek to set a more enlightened example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Admittedly, there are more important things going on in the world right now than people hitting pieces of cork around a field. Those who admire this game will nevertheless insist that its integrity is worth defending, now perhaps more than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Let us be honest, however: it is not only a group of players who are to blame, but the officials who failed to address one of the game\u2019s defining scandals. Indeed, this was, perhaps, the greatest scandal of all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new culture?
