A newly-released memoir from Usman Khawaja has alleged that every player in the Australian Cricket team knew sandpaper was being used to tamper the ball during a match against South Africa eight years ago. And now, we’re seeing the fallout of those new allegations - which contradict everything we’ve been told previously. Today we’re joined by TDA’s sport journalist George to understand what exactly is happening.

Hosts: Billi FitzSimons and George Finlayson
