The results of two independent reviews – of organisational structure and player behaviour – conducted in the wake of the ball-tampering episode in Cape Town earlier this year, were released on Monday, October 29, and 42 recommendations were made to the CA board as necessary measures to reverse the slide that had led to “tainted reputations” of the national men’s team.

However, Haddin, who was an integral part of the Australian Test team from 2008 to 2015, said that after the release of the reviews, the world should move on from the ball-tampering saga.

“No, I don’t think it is,” said Haddin when asked if Australia had harboured an arrogant and bullying culture. “The independent review got done, everyone gets to have their say openly and honestly, and that’s what you want,” he said.

“You sit there and scratch your head a bit and say: ‘has it been worthwhile?’ A lot of people are going to read this and make of it what they want. Arrogance is one word I don’t associate with the Australian cricket team.”

He continued, “There’s a fine line between confident in your own ability and arrogance and once you become arrogant you don’t respect the opposition and you don’t respect the game.

“If you’ve got the opportunity to get within the Australian cricket team that’s not the case, the case is they respect the game, they respect the opposition, they play hard and they play to win. Some people think that’s arrogant – I don’t.”
