Chants of 'cheat, cheat, cheat' and 'we saw you cry on the telly' could also be heard, aimed at Smith, Warner and Bancroft."There's the booing, but the worst thing was when we got on the bus at the end of each day's play, just the abuse," commented Australian coach at the time Justin Langer on Amazon's Prime's documentary 'The Test'.Australian captain Tim Paine added: "It was all just part of trying to embrace it, we just went with it.
