Chris Lynn’s stunning claim: Everyone guilty of ball tampering

BIG Bash League star Chris Lynn admits ball tampering isn't the "Australian way", but insists it's more prevalent in cricket at all levels than horrified supporters might think.Lynn refused to condemn banned Test skipper Steve Smith or any of the current players, saying "every cricketer" had engaged in the dark art at some point to differing degrees. "I reckon every cricketer's probably done it throughout their career in grade cricket or whatever level. But obviously not to that extent," Lynn said. Meanwhile, Jason Gillespie has savaged the Australian cricket team, saying Smith and Warner are gone as its leaders. The highly-regarded Australian coach and former Test paceman said the national team must rebuild its reputation from scratch following the ball-tampering debacle.
