The Aussie commentator trying to justify Warners cheating is funny when literally no one in world cricket likes David Warner and know exactly how toxic he is on and off the field.

Great video, but sound effects are sometimes too high which is distracting over the dialogue. Keep it up though! Love these videos.

As an Aussie, this is a very solid and unbiased accounting of the issue broadly

This was definitely premeditated. You cannot get yellow sand paper in South Africa. We have never seen it here.

Insanely good video. I was looking for exactly this before the next series.

"Cricket's greatest skill and greatest crime joined at the hip" -- give him a Pulitzer already - love it.

Really enjoyed the video great work🎉. Not really a critic of your work but in other versions of story I heard that the team meeting after Hobart 2016 basically gave Smith and Warner licence to do anything as long as they win.

the wildest thing i always thought is - you dont get that yellow sandpaper in SA, so might have been premeditated, idk

Great video mate, love the production and the storyline. One feedback would be the sound levels of the video, there are moments where a sound effect is brought in while you are narrating and your audio levels drop significantly. But once again, this was a great watch.

I was at the Wanderers on day one of the fourth test. The best chants I heard were "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Cheat, cheat, cheat". And "Where's your captain gone? Far far away". The stuff about Warners wife was a bit too much imo.
