I have severe doubts about the character of Warner. He seems to have been at the centre of far too many "incidents" and controversy. If CA are determined to change the face of Aussie cricket there would definitely be no place for him even if he promised to be a good boy - far too much history and bad feelings around the world.

The funny thing is that Warner often comes across as a caring, sharing kind of bloke   However, his behaviour during (and before) cricket games can be intolerable and embarrassing.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say he should never play cricket for Australia again but, if he did, he would have to comply with a suitable code of conduct.

I watched Smith’s press conference and thought it was one of the most harrowing things I’ve seen on TV.  I think that his punishment is appropriate but he should be left alone now.

It seems tha ACA are fired up to appeal the penalties but I think that they should just let things ride.

Well Ackerman is a Saffie cricketer, did he have to say about du Plessis and Rabada?

I think you underestimate the Saffies.

I've two friends both who have played rugby for SA, they live and breath sledging stuff far more than any Aussie I've ever talked to! When their sons played footy with my boy I've had to ask them, and their wives, for some restraint at junior matches. I put it down to growing up in the SA, a fairly harsh environment living in compounds behind razor ribbon, where a moments hesitation can cost your life!

I think it's quite wrong to claim they would only be retaliating to this stuff, or by inference that they have a better moral compass.

Good job today fellas,  late reward for a lot of grind.   Played in the right spirit and some good catching.

Lyon will be a real handful as this game progresses and pleased to see Sayers have an impact.   Cummins shows real spirit,  his effort balls are top notch.

Yep..Paine's gesture to shake hand pre game was excellent

Starc and Hazelwood have been poor sine the 1st Test (noting Starc not playing at Wanderers).

If either had bowled even at an average lrvel for their standards, things would have been different.

have to ask why?

We all make mistakes and are so different but for me when folks are genuinely remorseful and accountable after having FdUp badly, the condemnation stops then and the healing and 'making good' begins.

Yes, he must have learnt this off CheatsFC!

I don't recall one individual from the Cheats admitting fault/showing remorse & accountability. Very different.

Just watched Warner's apology. No ducking and weaving, no excuses, genuine remorse and accountability and awareness as to the hurt he has caused a great number of people.
