Seems very harsh on Warner if all he did was say "Lets try and use sandpaper to rough the ball up. Maybe try it like this Cameron, I'm not really sure how to use the sandpaper exactly, because this is definitely the first time any of us have attempted this and your guess is as good as mine."
Obviously he is the scalp they want for many other reasons, but the pieces simply don't fit based on their narrative.
Did the investigation speak with the host broadcaster or SA team to identify why they were tipped off about this before the test for example?
This version makes sense though
Warner: that De Kock prick is still in and everyone is watching me carefully to see what I do. I obviously can't use my normal tricks on the ball so lets get Cam to do it. He is at mid on and we can relay the ball through him.
The broadcasters were tipped of because of how early the Aussies were getting the ball to reverse.

The ICC needs to step in now and expunge a good chunk of Smith’s tear record. Nothing extreme, half his test 100’s abs knock about 15 runs off his average....
Least that will stop the whole next Bradman bullshit.
Yeah that'll work. Because his runs scored are directly affected by his fielding side's conduct.Honestly, that is bogan response of the day, right there.

I can buy the 'first time' narrative, for two reasons:
-
As per Geoff Lemon a few pages back, Warner had been pushed to breaking point this series. He had developed a siege mentality, and had lost all sight of reality. He was completely desperate and it pushed him to take actions he had never taken before.
-
It's so stupid. I find it hard to believe they have been using this tactic before, given how quickly it was picked up. And I also imagine people are now combing over the footage from the Ashes, looking for clues. Clearly they haven't found much.
Were they tampering in other ways before? Probably. The same as everyone else - weird shining agents, bouncing the ball on throws etc. But that pales into comparison as to what they were caught doing at Newlands.

Based on that, how the fuck is anyone meant to believe that the fast bowlers didn't know that this was happening? I call major bullshit (I was calling it earlier - inside my head). If we are talking sandpaper, it must be fucking more than obvious. Noo, he's just a really good ball-worker.... uh huh. Fuck them too for trying to act all "we didn't know".
Haha yeah, I think anyone that has played the game knows it is highly likely the entire team knew what was going on, and in particular the fast bowlers who take a very keen interest in the condition of the ball.
They've obviously chosen the people who came up with the idea and hit them as hard as they can, while trying to get away with not banning most of the team. As stated Warner is a great fall-man, as even most Aussies really struggle to like the guy.

Ashes sponsor dumps $20m naming rights deal
Magellan Financial Group has terminated its naming rights sponsorship of domestic men's Test matches just a year into a three-year deal.
Magellan Financial Group has terminated its three-year partnership as the naming rights sponsor of domestic Test matches involving the Australian men's cricket team, in response to the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa that has rocked Australian cricket. In a major blow to Cricket Australia, the deal is only one summer into its three-year term.
