Looks like Warner was the instigator of the plan, which Smith agreed to. And true to the gutless bullying nature of Warner he tried to hide away when the going got tough. The two have also lost their IPL contracts for this season, worth a £1million each and Warner has also lost a sponsorship contract with LG. Not the last of it i suspect. And back in time for the 2019 World Cup here and the Ashes series which for me will be perfect timing. If Lehmann wanted the Aussie support to make Broad cry in 2013 then that hypocritical, gutless, lying scumbag will want to return to having South African supporters berating them by the time the Barmy Army has finished. These two I suspect will never play International cricket again. |
Smith and Bancroft will come back. Smith's too good to dump him forever. It's probably 'evening all' for Warner though as he's seemingly unpopular with the other players apart from everyone else.
They've brought in Renshaw, Burns and Maxwell to replace them. They're still a pretty decent side. Renshaw could be the business if he gets it together. |  | | |

Those press conferences are grim. I know i shouldnt be sympathetic, but i'm not sure anybody who hasn't murdered people should be put through that. The media glee and bloodlust is nauseating. |  | | |

These are people who ran a regime that fostered such comments as "prepare for a f***Ing broken arm" or "I hope we send him home crying" or "we hope to end a few careers" or worse of all about a guy suffering mental health issues "he looked weak and unable to cope" Karma! |  | | |

So, can we assume that Hashim Amla isn’t David Warner’s best mate after all? |  | | |

Batting D. Warner. Bowler . A. Schadenfreude - Fast, right arm over, from the top end - first ball aimed at his box.
Lovely stuff. |  |

The press conferences are optional (Warner hasn't done one) and just a PR stunt to try and limit long term damage. I found Smith particularly cringeworthy and for me he didn't come across as being sincere in his apology.
I don't believe that none of the bowlers were aware nor do I believe that Lehmann wasn't aware, the video of Lehmann on the walkie talkie was him being caught red-handed. Smith and Bancroft lied to the umpires, then to the media and probably to Cricket Australia too before coming clean and now they're all shedding crocodile tears. Lehmann has encouraged the hostile environment and Warner has been allowed to do as he pleases for far too long. It's great entertainment watching them suffer, although obviously I wouldn't wish serious harm on any of them, by that I mean this episode triggering depression or the like.
It'll be interesting to see how Australian cricket and the team bounce back from this. The Ashes in 2019 should be fun too! |  |

At least Root sees it as it is:
Quotes
"It's becoming more and more difficult to win going in to other conditions, but what was so disappointing in Auckland was that it wasn't dissimilar to playing in England. As a batting group, it wasn't good enough because we've had plenty of experience in those conditions. We're trying to change the way we go about things to find the best way for us to get to 400 and take 20 wickets."
Joe Root
"Think it's a fairly even playing field. If we look back to the last game, it was nice to come out on the right side, but we know this English team was very well-balanced and talented side. They certainly showed that in the second half of the last game. Coming into tomorrow, I'm sure it will be a close game."
Kane Williamson plays down the favourites tag
I've a feeling that we might turn up tonight but fingers crossed that we do at least give them a proper test. | | | |

He cheats with the ball, he cheats with the bat. That Steve Smith is a cheating word that rhymes with bat meaning ladies front bottom. You all know the tune, ask Mitchell Stark if you are unsure. |  |

Barmy Army's been hard at work...
Steve Smith is an Aussie
He wears a baggy cap
And when he saw some sticky tape
He said I'm having that...
He gave it Cameron Bancroft
Who rubbed it on the ball
Those cheating Aussie convicts
They'll never change at all!
Oh...Davie Warner’s Aussie
He wears the baggy green
He dribbles like a caveman
His behaviour’s obscene
He’s rather fond of Candy
She gives him such a thrill
But when he offers her de Kock
She begs for Sonny Bill! |  |

Agreed, Smith’s tears are because he got caught. He thought that they could get away with cheating and employed the team rookie to do the dirty work and and then lied and lied again. Reprehensible behaviour. All he is doing is feeling sorry for himself. No real remorse at all. | |

I was just thinking, whatever the game, I’d love to be there. Which is the NZ ground with a mine next door?
PS What’s got into the Warriors? | | | |

'bout time we started a league thread Sheen!
Warriors looking damn professional for first time in years - additions over summer have given us some nous & game management. We have Roosters tomorrow that will be a better gauge on how well we're tracking.
Batting well now but no idea where ground is near a mine?! Test or one dayers ? | | | |

Is it Napier, Dunedin? It looks like this Christchurch ground, but if you go on Google Earth, it looks like an open cast mine right next to it.
Just found it University of Otago Oval, Dunedin. [Post edited 30 Mar 2018 0:40]

Yes, it is all deserved, they've been scumbags for ages and now cheats. Loathsome bunch.
They should get the sh!t kicked out of them. I'd have no problem with that. Then let's just move on. Does anybody deserve what's being done there though? Two wrongs and all that. It just seems like letting the media abuse people in public. It can't be right. Karma, 100%. But still, it's just gruesome. | | | |

The response to this, they've all said "well they've said nobody else new about it and it hasn't been done before, so we must take their word that's the truth".
WTF?
Why should we take their word for it!? They're proven cheating liars, therefore untrustworthy. It's literally inconceivable the bowlers didn't know about it, and we all know Warner has been doing it for ages with all that tape he wears when fielding. That's why they were watching, and that's why it changed to be Bancroft because they realised Warner had been rumbled. | | | |
