THE South African cricket team’s battle with the Australian media took a physical turn this week. This after a Channel Nine reporter got into an altercation which led to him being shoved at Adelaide Airport.

The reporter, Will Crouch, who works for Nine Network was pushed by two South African team members as he tried to question Faf Du Plessis about whether he felt he would be allowed to play in Adelaide.

Du Plessis was charged with ball-tampering by the International Cricket Council (ICC) during the second test in Hobart. He was found guilty of ball tampering and fined 100 per cent of his match fee on Tuesday.
