The ball tampering incident happened in a cricket match between Australia and South Africa has become a talk of the town now.
Well, to be frank, every cricket enthusiast loves Australian players because of the passion and talent they radiate on the field.
There was an era where every cricketing nation would shrivel to play with the mighty Australian team. They ruled the cricket for more than two decades with awe striking 5 world cups.
But the recent tampering incident has made a scar on their esteem.
Tampering is nothing but scuffing the cricket ball on one side by rubbing it with some rough surface. Players do so in order to swing the ball beyond its natural ability and it's called reverse swinging of the ball.
Smith and his team done this because they never lost to South Africa in South Africa. But this time they are at the edge of losing, so in order to save the record, they did this mean act.
Of course, Smith did the mistake by allowing faulty cheating practices for winning the match. But what made me like him is that despite defending, he admitted his mistake and apologized for everyone.
He was given harsh punishment which included fine and sacking for 12 months from international cricket. Many players did tampering in the past but no one ever received such harsh punishment.
Everyone commits mistakes but only a few great people admit them with a pure heart.Smith hasn't blamed anyone and told that it was his leadership mistake, he held all the responsibility on his shoulders. I could see a kind human being in him, his passion towards cricket and patriotism towards country would surely bring him back.
He is such a great player to watch out for. He joined the team as a minion who bowls few overs but with his hard work, he emerged as a captain. Just like a 'Rags to Riches' story.
