A MITRE 10 store in Christchurch, New Zealand has made fun of the Cricket Australia ball tampering scandal.

A photo sent to the Herald shows cricket sets being sold with yellow sandpaper.

“Free sheet of sandpaper with every cricket set sold. #kanewouldnever,” a sign with the cricket sets reads.

As the scandal unravelled, Twitter and Facebook users, however, continued to do what they do best — sharing countless memes to mock the Aussies.

And we’ve collected the best ones below.
