SuperSport pokes fun at Australia ahead of Test series over Sandpapergate

South African broadcaster SuperSport has taken a jab at Australia ahead of their first Test series in South Africa since the 2018 ball-tampering incident, known as Sandpapergate. The series consists of three matches, with the first Test starting today, October 9, at Kingsmead in Durban. SuperSport's promo post included a camera emoji, reminiscent of the incident involving Cameron Bancroft using a yellow object on the ball in 2018. Some players from Australia's current squad were part of the team during the scandal, including vice-captain Steve Smith and pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. The second Test will take place in Gqeberha on October 18, with the third Test set for Newlands on October 27.
