CRICKET NEWS - Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie said there was no way Steve Smith could possibly continue as the full-time captain of the national side given his central role in a ball-tampering scandal that has "torched" the reputation of the team and stunned world cricket.
But he said he would be "amazed" if Australia coach Darren Lehmann, a former team-mate with both South Australia and Australia, had been involved.
Smith admitted to having been behind a premeditated attempt to cheat after young batsman Cameron Bancroft was caught by television cameras deliberately roughing up the ball with a piece of tape during the third day's play of the third test against South Africa in Cape Town on Saturday.
