Australia v India third Test 2021: Tim Paine apologies for swearing at umpire – Sydney Morning Herald
The Test captain played down suggestions the team was returning to its old ways on the field after losing his cool in Sydney.
In another bizarre moment on the fifth day, Steve Smith was seen scuffing up the crease while India batsman Rishabh Pant was at a drinks break.
Since the restoration of the Australian team’s image after the Cape Town ball-tampering affair, the national side has by and large been squeaky clean.
It hasn’t been by accident: the reputational rebuild was designed in an effort to restore trust in a team whose behaviour had been on the slide before it hit rock bottom that afternoon at Newlands.
