Opening batsman caught red handed. Aussie Captain admits he knew about it and it was planned by the team leadership team.
Having been caught red handed, they have admitted the above. Their penitance is awesome.
Bancroft has said he will deal with the damage to his reputation. (Well, there’s nothing other thsn that that you can do)
Bancroft has said he regrets he did it (because he was caught)
He also admits to shoving the tape down his fronts (because he was caught)
Smith has said he will not stand down (because he has no honour)
Smith has said it will not ever happen again (because you got caught)
Just like Michael Atherton, down right cheating has happened and is being swerved by the perpetrators.
Hope the ICC act with some backbone.

Given they knew they were being filmed from every possible camera angle, it's unbelievable that they thought they stood any chance of getting away with it
Clearly, winning (or not losing) matters to them, but to that extent? That they'd potentially blow their careers away for at best a marginal advantage?
Bancroft's test career was in the balance anyway, but Smith's reputation couldn't have been any higher, until this. Will be interesting to see how the authorities react, given that players are being sidelined from tests (e.g. Rabada) for slight over-reactions in the heat of the moment |  |

Lehman new nothing about it. Totally blameless.
Bancfroft did however need a toilet break soon after it was shown on TV and Smith left the field for 15 minutes too.
I echo the millions asking why on earth did they even bother trying? Absolute idiocy. | |

Nothing new for Australian cricket. Ian Chappell started the verbal abuse (sledging) of the opposition in the 70s,brother Greg committed just about the worse piece of sportsmanship imaginable in 1981 when he ordered the third brother Trevor to bowl the last ball of the match underarm to NZ`s Brian McKechnie so he couldn`t hit a six to tie the match. David Warner smacks Joe Root in a pub altercation,Shane Warne gets involved in a betting scandal,and who can forget the Aussies deliberately losing that test match at Leeds,betting their own money on huge odds the Bookies were giving on an English win when the Aussies only needed a hundred or so with a full day to play. If the Aussie Cricket Board don`t sack Smith and a couple of other "senior players" over this latest shocking example of deliberate cheating,they`re complicit in this as well. |  | | |

what is the reaction to this in Aus how is it being coverd over there... don't hold your breath on the ACB acting or the ICC when are the umpires going to issue yellow or red cards which in this case should result in a 3 match ban for Bancroft and a 10 match ban for Smith both should be sent home. | |

News conference with CEO of Cricket Australia at 12 noon on Fox Sport. He is a big defender of how Australia play the game so it will be interesting to see if he tries to spin his way out of this one. Culture of Australian Cricket at all levels has been piss poor since the days of Ian Chappell, who now spends a fair bit of his time calling for stricter discipline !! Wonder what Kim Hughes thinks of that. | | | |

CEO James Sutherland says they`re sending a bloke to SA to "find out what happened",so nowt will "happen" until Tuesday at the earliest. | | | |

All this is happening whilst CA are trying to negotiate media rights for the next 5 years. They asked all bidders to resubmit bids last Friday as they didn't like the first bids. Good luck with that now. | | | |

For years there has been a win any way you can attitude in Australian cricket. The worst sportsmen ever. They stopped me watching cricket years ago. | | | |

Smith & Warner removed from their captain/vc roles for the next test, pending the investigation
Absolute minimum that needed to happen

Cricket Australia are making all the right decisions after some of their players made the wrong one.
Would be amazed if Smith and Warner captain the national side again. | |

I was amused to hear the Aussie PM say that cheating wasn't the way the Aussies play the game. Obviously not a follower of cricket then. | | | |

Smith banned for the 4th test by ICC and loses match fee
Bancroft not banned (3 demerit points) and loses match fee.
That’s it from the ICC, they are limited as it is a Category 2 misdomeaner. | |

Why is it only considered to be a level 2 offence? Surely outright cheating to influence a game is as serious as anything a player can do.
Given that the aussies claim its not been something they've done before, it will be interesting to hear their justification as to why they've chosen this test to do so. I'd imagine there'll be a lot of footage from the Ashes being poured over right now. |  | | |
