See if you can get some images. It looks quite blatant. He had something like a metal coin in one pocket and looks to be trying to conceal the ball when scratching it. I don't think he acted on individual impulse. I suspect team management put him up to this. Smith was constantly throwing the ball to him.
Two quick wickets with du Plessis out for 20 and Bavuma for five.

Pretty big accusations there Mike to say its a team management directive.

Fair play in taking ownership quickly and protecting the player you put in that situation, but the simple fact is he has put that player in that position. He has shown a lack of leadership, and he has instigated cheating.
I really can not see how he can play in the next test let alone captain Australia. I would be disappointed if CA allowed him to keep his job.
