Description

This collection of Gideon Haighs previously published articles distils from
his daily reporting the essence of the 2017-18 cricket season, from
victories and celebrations to the controversy that captured the worlds
attention. The Australian mens cricket team arrived in Bangladesh in mid-
August 2017 and departed South Africa in mid-April 2018, having deployed
thirty-seven players in eleven Tests, ten one-day internationals and seven
T20 internationals. They came from behind to draw a series in Asia; they
regained the Ashes, rising from fi fth to third in the worlds Test
championship; they slipped to fourth on the ODI table and rose to second in
the T20I rankings. But the souring of the achievements began around 3pm on
24 March 2018 at Newlands, when umpires summoned Cameron Bancroft to
discuss attempts to alter the condition of the 42-over-old ball to which
they had been alerted.Ten weeks earlier, Bancroft had posed on a stage at
the Sydney Cricket Ground celebrating victory over England; within two
weeks, he and three of his fellow revellers, captain Steve Smith, vice-
captain David Warner and coach Darren Lehmann, had become casualties of
perhaps the angriest and suddenest sports controversies of the century.
