We hold them to a higher standardBut there is also a side of us that says...OK that's enough, they've been punished sufficiently.I reckon we're just about to enter that phase and it wouldn't surprise in the next few days to see a shift in tone, at least amongst the public...not so sure about sponsors etc as they'll be more concerned about their brandSmith’s press conference - that’ll do I reckon.

Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #303 – March 29, 2018, 09:17:19 pm Correct Lods. Crime, punishment and time. I think that this has been a big wake up call for CA and all players. Smith will be forgiven (if he isn't already after the press conference). Haven't seen Bancroft's conference, but I believe he is very contrite as well. I haven't yet seen Warner's press conference either...Without hijacking the thread, imagine if EFC had put their hands up properly...

I thought he spoke well.

Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #309 – March 29, 2018, 10:57:24 pm I'd be crying too if I lost a 2.4 million dollar IPL contract and had a to get a real job for 12 months..thought Smith had some genuine remorse but his record is smeared for life.Bancroft..less impressed with his confession, no great loss to Aus cricket if he doesnt play test cricket again, one of the dumbest players I have seen..Warner.....I guess he is getting some legal/PR advice and will give a more broad confession where he admits to minimal guilt and tries to save his 20/20 tournament career.No real sympathy for any of them...they had it all and didnt appreciate the opportunities they have been given, others who appreciate it more deserve their place in the national team.....
