Australian Radio host slams David Warner with ruthless remark amidst Sandpaper Gate scandal

It seems like the Sandpaper controversy around David Warner isn’t going to stop in the near future. It all started when the left-hander decided to withdraw his application for a ‘review on ban on his leadership’. Recently, his manager, James Erskine claimed that a lot of people were involved in the Sandpaper incident. The latter added that the cricketers had said that not all the players would be fired.

Erskine further added that it was unfair on Warner not to have a chance at appealing the verdict. For the context, the verdict means a ban on Warner from becoming the captain of Australia. The opening batter’s manager also spoke about the Cricket Australia official berating about Australia’s loss against South Africa in 2016.

“The truth will come out, let me tell you. There are lots of people. There’s two cricketers who put their hands up and said at the time, ‘Why don’t we all just tell the truth, they can’t fire all of us’. That’s what happened.”

“Two senior executives were in the changing room in Hobart and basically were berating the team for losing against South Africa (in 2016) and Warner said we’ve got to reverse-swing the ball. The only way we can reverse-swing the ball is by tampering with it.”

“Why Cricket Australia couldn’t have done a very sensible thing and said listen, it’s not legal that someone doesn’t have a right of appeal. It’s just absurd, why should he have to go through that, he has done everything he possibly could for Cricket Australia and for his team, and now he’s being treated like this… this is injustice at its greatest level,” added Erskine.
