Ball Tampering: Allegations are made with evidence of ball tampering
Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has accused the Kangaroos bowlers of evidence of ball tampering during the final match of the World Test Championship between India vs Australia. He has told how the ball was tampered with for the wickets of Virat Kohli and Pujara. Basit has vented his anger on the umpire and people for ignoring this act on YouTube channel.
The biggest example is the batsman getting bowled while releasing the ball
Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali accused Australian bowlers of ball-tampering on YouTube, saying that first of all they clapped for the match watchers and umpires from the commentary box. Australia played with the ball and no one is talking about it. No batsman is thinking ‘What is happening?’ The biggest example of this is the batsman getting bowled while releasing the ball. Let me give you proof too. By the 54th over when Shami was bowling, there was a shine outside and the ball went back to Steve Smith. This is not called reverse swing. Reverse swing is when the shine is in and the ball comes back in.”

Ball Tampering: See the shine of the ball on which Virat Kohli got out
He further said, “Look at the 16th, 17th, and 18th overs, the ball on which Virat Kohli got out… see the shine. Mitchell Starc had the ball in his hands with the shiny end pointing out but the ball was turning in the other direction. Jadeja was hitting the ball on the on side and the ball was flying over point. Have the umpires gone blind? God knows who’s sitting there who can’t see something so simple
Ball Tampering: BCCI is such a big board, can’t they see it?
The former Pak player said that “Green bowled with a shine pointing at Pujara and the ball went back in? I am surprised BCCI is such a big board, can’t they see it? It means you are not concentrating on cricket. They are happy to know that India has reached the finals. Does the ball ever reverse swing in overs 15-20, is that also a Duke’s ball? I understand the Kookaburra ball can still reverse, but the Dukes ball lasts at least 40 overs.”
