David Warner Gets Abused By South African Fan After Getting Out
David Warner's roller-coaster tour of South Africa was hit by more controversy early on Day 2 at Cape Town, after the Australian opener was subjected to a volley of abuse from a South African spectator. Bowled for 30 by Kagiso Rabada, Warner was walking back to the Australian dressing room, when a middle-aged man fired expletives, while clapping sarcastically at the batsman. There was a fence between the two but the Australian team's head of security, Frank Dimasi, raced down from the players' viewing area as the 31-year-old cricketer turned around to respond.

Australians were always been known to cheat. Just that there were no conclusive evidence against them. I remember a test series in Australia where they pointing & co won by cheating by claimbing catches that were clearly grassed against India. This desperation to win is nothing new when comes to Australia.

Desperation drove Australia to cheat - Smith
The infamous Sydney test '07-08. The test saw too much gamesmanship from Australia.
Not to forget Steve Bucknor as well. This particular match is the birthplace of DRS.
Also the monkey-gate.
Indian captain Anil Kumble prompted to say after the match : There's only one team maintaining the sportsman spirit (or something like that).
Still remember a furious Sunny Gavaskar saying: That's non$€n$€, utter non$€n$€!

Indian team came back with a bang and won the next test at Perth (last won test in Aus).
 
CA got themselves to blame. When they backed Smith during 'Brainfade' and forced BCCI to withdraw their complaint, Smith would have thought he can do anything on a cricket field and won't be punished.
