We're in Sydney as the fallout from Australian cricket's ball-tampering scandal continues

We're in Sydney as the fallout from Australian cricket's ball-tampering scandal continues.

Australia's Cricket team has been a constant feature in news bulletins and sports pages around the world. Not for their success but for cheating. We're in Sydney as the fallout continues.
