This book is not a detective story. It won’t give you every detail of what happened in the Cape Town dressing rooms. When it gets released, Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft will still have careers to salvage – bans will end, comebacks will begin, and it will remain in their interest to avoid any detail of what happened or how it came to pass. They will stay vague and speak in platitudes. Under the omerta of professional cricketers, their teammates will do the same. Only once careers finish will talk begin. Someone can write the comprehensive history then.
