ON THIS DAY

Published April 3, 2020

SOUTH AFRICA’s Morne Morkel celebrates with team-mates after beating Australia 3-1 in their four-Test series with a 492-run victory in the final match at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on April 3, 2018. The series was marred by Australia’s Cameron Bancroft being caught changing the condition of the ball with sandpaper in the third Test — a plan devised by Australia’s ‘leadership group’. Bancroft was handed a nine-month suspension, while the then skipper Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner were each given one-year bans by Cricket Australia.
