In 2016, South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis was fined 100% of his match fee but avoided a ban for ball-tampering in their series against Australia. Television footage appeared to show the 33-year-old licking his finger and shining the ball while eating a sweet. Responding to the incident, Warner had said:
"From an Australian cricket perspective, we hold our heads high. I would be very disappointed if one of our players did that. "For us it is about controlling what we can do. The rules are in place for a reason, so if you are not going to use the, why bother having them? "We the players know the guidelines so if you are going to overstep the mark, you will get fined and must be prepared to miss Test matches too."
