Felt sorry for Aussies, especially Smith: ABD on tampering
South African batsman AB de Villiers said he felt "sorry" for Australian cricketers following the ball-tampering incident, especially captain Steve Smith. "It was taken to a level where it really hurt them individually," said de Villiers. The way Smith was punished was "harsh" as he "stood up thinking he was doing the right thing by his players", added de Villiers.
