00:00When he says we all knew, if by that he means that we knew sandpaper is going out in
00:05the field, he's 100% wrong.
00:08I've said that consistently for the last eight years, I did not know that was happening.
00:14But I think Usman actually says things that are actually far more serious than that.
00:17He says that I and others were architects of a scheme to bore temper with sandpaper.
00:21That's complete and utter nonsense.
00:22I was genuinely shocked this week when I found out that Usman admitted that he told Cam
00:28to be careful when using sandpaper
00:31That's not the Usman that I know
00:32It's not the Usman that I think or that has been part of a team that's helped
00:36rebuild
00:36the Australian cricket culture over the last eight years
00:39and you know the Usman that would have stopped that from happening there and then
00:42Usman's a friend but friends aren't casual with each other's lives and reputations
00:47In his book Uzi's been casual with my lives and the lives of many others
00:51and I think Australian cricket
00:52I support his right to tell a story a hundred percent
00:54I'm really glad that he feels like he can
00:57But we have to be accountable for the things that we say and do
