  1. 0:19Cummins denies knowing sandpaper was going onto the field and rejects the account attributed to Khawaja.
  2. 5:50Warner backs Khawaja and says Cummins threw him under the bus.
  3. 7:36Vaughan asks about absolute proof of wider knowledge; Warner criticises the original investigation.
  4. 8:02Waugh acknowledges conflicting statements and argues Australian cricket needs to move forward.
  5. 10:42Warner rejects moving on without what he considers the full truth being accepted.

Mark Waugh says Australian cricket needs to move forward. David Warner, standing on the same pitchside panel, makes clear he isn't ready to do that.

"I'm not going to accept it until the truth's out there," Warner says near the end of Fox Cricket's pre-match discussion in Perth. The segment has drawn roughly 340,000 views in its first day, with comments arriving around eighty times faster than on the channel's usual regular upload.

The broadcast begins with Pat Cummins responding to statements in Usman Khawaja's autobiography about knowledge of sandpaper ball-tampering. His denial is specific: "If by that he means that we knew sandpaper was going out on the field, he's 100% wrong." Cummins also criticises what he sees as a casual approach to teammates' reputations.

Back at the ground, Warner backs Khawaja and says Cummins "threw Uzzie under the bus". When Michael Vaughan asks whether there is absolute proof that more people knew, Warner criticises the original investigation as rushed and "botched". The segment presents sharply conflicting accounts, not a resolution.

That leaves the panel divided over what should happen next. Waugh argues for moving on; Warner insists on further answers.

Fox Cricket also drew unusually large audiences for its Australia-England highlights and separate uploads of Mahli Beardman's debut bowling performance. But this pre-match discussion drew the largest audience among those regular uploads, with the unfinished argument carrying well beyond the press conference.
