Australia doomed to live with stench of sandpapergate

It leaves the ball in the court of the other Australian players involved, the coaching staff and CA.

On Tuesday, CA chief executive Todd Greenberg said, with a straight face, he did not see "any compelling reason" to reopen the investigation into the ball-tampering saga.

What evidence could compel Greenberg to act? Even if Khawaja has not directly pointed the finger at anyone else in the dressing room that day, surely CA should be curious about the claims that are currently causing so much reputational damage, especially when Khawaja and Warner have called into question the rigour of the original investigation.
