Why is it always the away team - Do host broadcasters facilitate cheating?

This tweet from Hemant Buch who has been a part of broadcasting cricket for a very long time is rather damning .

"The first rule of tampering with the ball is to do it only when you play at home and the broadcaster has your back #SAvAUS"

This holier than tho attitude from the southafrican and english fraternity is nauseous . Southafricans cheated their way to two test wins in the Uae and Srilanka by designing special zippers much like the English using mints under Michael vaughan.

I really do think they need to leagalise some form of ball tampering minus the use of foreign objects otherwise this just becomes a case of which team cheats best at times.

That's spot on.

Faf was caught away from home.
Bancroft in SA.
Dravid in Brisbane.
Waqar in SL.
Afridi in AUS.
Sachin in SA (yes I know he was cleaning the ball)
Broad/Anderson in SA
Philander in SL

Atherton might be the only example of someone doing it at home and getting caught. I suppose Afridi's pitch tampering as well but that was easy to notice.

I am noticing one more Thing, it’s always visitors caught with their pants down. Why all those 26 4K slow motion cameras not focusing on home team. I bet you like neutral umpires there are cases on both sides. Is ICC going to do anything about that

This is another area where home advantage plays out

Lol another advantage for the home teams. Let's be honest home broadcasters won't want to expose there country as cheats.
