The Newlands sandpaper gate saga has breathed a new lease of life after the Australian batsman Cameron Bancroft talked about the awareness of the same elsewhere, hinting at the involvement of the bowlers as well. The then five-pronged bowling attack included the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon, apart from the all-rounder Mitchell Marsh. In the statement, the bowlers in a joint statement addressing the Australian public said, "We pride ourselves on our honesty. It has gone on too long and it is time to move on," they signed off. Yeah, obviously what I did benefits bowlers and the awareness around that, probably, is self-explanatory."
