He recalled that after the day's play in Cape Town the side sat in the changing rooms, probably for 60 to 90 minutes, and talked about what had happened and where to go next.
The comments return attention to the Cape Town occurrence and to what players knew at the time. Sayers has backed a teammate's published account and has called on Cricket Australia to address the public.
Sayers said an item"was given to me to take off,"and that he believed everyone in the Australian side knew what was going on and what was being used.
Sayers said Cricket Australia should be the body facing reporters and the public."I certainly believe Cricket Australia need to be the ones who are fronting the press, fronting the public,"he said.
He said his understanding was that the talks were confidential, whether or not the board released what it knew. He added that people"want to know what happened because the Australian public hold their cricket team in the highest regard.".
