Sandpapergate: Inside the ball-tampering scandal

Stumped

Available for over a year

We're joined by the man at the middle of one of the biggest scandals in cricket history. Umpire Ian Gould tells us about the “heart-stopping moment” when Australia’s plot to tamper with the ball was uncovered in Cape Town in 2018 – and the infamous scenes that followed. Plus, a special report from a camp in Beirut where cricket is providing a source of joy to Syrian refugees. Photo: Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft with umpires in Cape Town (Getty Images)
