How much is 'Sandpapergate' hurting Cricket Australia?

Former Australia skipper Mark Taylor (in pic) has stepped down as a

Cricket Australia

(CA) board director in order to give the organisation a clean slate to repair the damage inflicted by the ball-tampering scandal and a damning review into the governing body.


The 54-year-old becomes the latest top figure to exit the embattled organisation.

Taylor, who served 13 years on the board, was touted as a potential successor to David Peever, who was forced to quit as the CA chairman last week.

So, how many heads have rolled so far?

Captain Steven Smith replaced by Tim Paine
Coach Darren Lehmann replaced by Justin Langer
Cricket Australia CEO James

Sutherland

replaced by Kevin Roberts
Cricket Australia chairman David Peever replaced by Earl Eddings (interim)
Mark Taylor resigned as CA board director
Team-performance boss Pat Howard to exit next year
