The man who delivered the infamous underarm ball says Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft will replace him as the biggest villains in Australian cricket history.
Trevor Chappell, who bowled an underarm delivery at the end of a 1981 ODI against New Zealand, said he has had to live with the notoriety of the moment in the 37 years since.
He told the Daily Telegraph that following the ball-tampering scandal against South Africa on Sunday, the current Aussie players will have to deal with the consequences for the rest of the lives.
"What I did has lived with me ever since and it will be the same for Smith and Bancroft," the 65-year-old told the Daily Telegraph.
"They will struggle for the rest of their lives and be known as the ones who brought Australian cricket into disrepute," Chappell said.
