2 Video Views·Nov 12, 2026
Mitch Marsh, did you know that sandpaper was being used
to tamper with cricket balls in South Africa?
You hit a six off the first ball there, mate. Well done.
Look, there's obviously been a lot of noise around this week,
and I respect that certain people have told their stories,
but I'm not here to share mine today.
I know that might sound weird, but it's a big week for us,
and it's an important time for this one-day group.
My sole focus has been on preparing for tomorrow.
You're walking out to captain Australia tomorrow.
Why can't you give the Australian people a yes or no?
That's exactly it.
I'm walking out tomorrow to captain my country
in a really exciting series against England
in a World Cup year,
and my focus has been on that this week.
It was a really tough time
for Australian cricket,
and I know there's still a lot of people hurting,
but now's not the time for me to share my story,
and I'll say it again.
I honestly have had a really clear focus this week
to zero in on this group and move forward.
Does the investigation need to be reopened?
No, that's not for me to say.
