'Our cameras will be sharp': Broadcaster takes a dig at Australia over Sandpapergate
South African sports broadcaster SuperSport has taken a dig at Australia ahead of their first Test series in South Africa since the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, also known as Sandpapergate. Australia will face South Africa in a three-match series, with the opening Test scheduled at Kingsmead in Durban on Friday, October 9, at 1 pm IST.
Eight years have passed since Australia and South Africa clashed at Kingsmead in Durban, following their heated exchange on the stairwell. This time, however, the two nations are set to resume their Test hostilities on home soil. The last time South Africa won a Test series in South Africa was 16 months ago, when they won the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's.
This upcoming series marks a significant step in the teams' cricketing relations, as they prepare to face one another at Kingsmead, the same venue where the drama of 2018 began.
