Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

Melbourne, Feb 2 (PTI): Pacer Dirk Nannes today rubbished Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi�s allegation that all teams indulge in ball-tampering and said bowlers can achieve success without twisting laws.

Nannes, the Dutch pacer who is expected to make his Twenty20 debut for Australia in Friday�s match against Pakistan, rejected Afridi�s sweeping allegation and said it was possible for a bowler to taste success without resorting to such malpractices.

�It�s no secret that everyone wants to change the condition of the ball but that�s through shining the ball and things like that,� Nannes was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press (AAP), a news agency here.

�Everyone around the world does that in cricket,� said the pacer.
