Michael Vaughan has criticised the behaviour of Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson even though suggestions of malpractice by the England bowlers were officially thrown out by the International Cricket Council today.
The ICC, the match referee Roshan Mahanama and the umpires Tony Hill and Daryl Harper all closed the book on the matter yesterday following yesterday's announcement that South Africa had "raised concerns" about the condition of the ball.
Vaughan, however, speaking before the ICC announcement, sounded considerably more riled than the South Africans when he said: "England have been caught and we have to hold our hands up. They were thinking they were smart but they've been very silly.
"Stuart Broad stood on the ball, and then Jimmy Anderson collected the ball, whether it was the next over or the over after, and started playing around the area where Broad had created the scuff marks."
Vaughan, who is in South Africa commentating on the series for BBC's Test Match Special, added: "They were just trying to get the ball to reverse swing. It looks quite bad on the TV screens. I'm quite disappointed because I don't like to see that sort of action in a game. It doesn't look good. What would we say if it was Pakistan?"

"Why can't we keep our focus and bat for longer periods? Like really get stuck in? Look at the partnership between Smith and Amla..."
