Australian captain Steve Smith faces the criticism after he admits to be the chief plotter of ball tampering incident in 3rd test against South Africa. Cricket Australia said it would investigate the actions of the Australian team’s leadership in relation to the ball-tampering confession in the Cape Town Test. On the other hand, Australian government has asked the board to remove Steven Smith as captain. For a country which is so proud of its sporting culture, this must have come as a shock. The social media wants Steve Smith to resign for betraying the Aussie fans. Here’s how they reacted on twitter in context to the shameful act that pollutes the gentleman game.

I don’t like the over aggressive behaviour of @imVkohli but one can say without doubt that he and @msdhoni have never resorted to blatant cheating to win games. For @stevesmith49 this is second time he has been caught How many times have they not been? #SandpaperGate #SteveSmith

Really disappointed by the actions of the #AustralianCricket team. I think I’ll start questioning where my money goes next time I’m thinking about going to a sport event. @CricketAus #SteveSmith

Aussie Captain #SteveSmith should have stepped down on his own. By encouraging #Bancroft to tamper with the “Ball”, he has brought disrepute to the game. @ICC Must come up with tough measures @CricketAus
