Yep... Lehman came to his senses and fell on his sword. Sutherland needs to do the same.

Bancroft and Smith have apologised and said the right things.

Over to you Dave Warner...

Reckon Smith will get another go as he is a topliner...Warner is finished IMO and Bancroft will need a thousand runs a season to make it back given his stupidity....
Lehmann should have been sacked and I reckon the rest of the leadership group are lucky they are our best bowlers....

Maybe Smith and Warner manned up and decided to take all the heat ? Because its pretty hard to believe Starc Hazelwood etc didnt know what was going on...

We will have to wait till Warners interview or book to find out ????

I find it hard to believe that Lehman didn't know anything about it.. but even if he didn't he should fall on his sword.  It's all turned to poo on his watch so move him on and let's start a fresh.

I hope Smith can come back from this in 12 months and get back to making runs.  ( never to Captain or VC again. )

I wouldnt be fussed if Warner never plays for Australia again... reading between the lines I doubt he will while this current crop are still playing..I can see him selling out with a tell all book ( or paid interview ) and screwing everyone over.  Hopefully not.

Bancroft... I feel a little bit for him... he may never get back and hasnt got millions in the bank like the other 2 have.  ( but if u do the crime u do the time )

Hopefully we've set the bar and if anyone is stoopid enough to do it again they pay a similar price... I say hopefully because I doubt it.

Right! So if he Carlton got done for PEDs this year and everyone including Mark Robinson and Tim Watson wanted us expelled from the competition for good you wouldn't care? ;D

If Carlton were stooopid enough to get done for Peds this year I wouldn't give a fark what Robbo or Timmy would have to say about it ... I'd give up following the AFL and Carlton.


That's my point ........... how farrking stooopd are these blokes... ?  they should be sacked for stupidity alone. ;)

It’s interesting that other members of the leadership group are arcing up about Smith implicating them in the scandal.

I don't blame them... If Smith was a decent Captain or had any balls he would have taken the wrap himself. "Ï'm the Captain the buck stops with me"

But now he's come out and said leadership group they are all tarred with the same brush.   ( even if some of them were against it ? )

So what do you guys want CA to do? Plenty of social media keyboard warriors baying for life bans for Smith and Warner....

Smith and "leadership" group to be banned from playing for Australia for a period if time.. maybe 6 months ?

No life bans... but Smith and Warner etc never to be part of leadership again... Id sack Lehman too whether he was in on it or not.

Other folks cheat...that's bad.
We cheat, that's devastating.
...and for many unacceptable.
That's why we're seeing the response.


SPOT ON

I don't care that other countries players / or captains have done it in the past and only been slapped on the wrist.

For our Australian Cricket Captain do have done this has made me sick in the stomach.  He simply cannot keep the job.

Handscombe laughing when he got the call from Lehman... then laughing and smiling when he went and spoke to Bancroft.... EMBARRASSING.

Lehman had to be in on too

Sutherlands press conference was a bit awkward... not much more he could do or say with it happening on the other side of the world overnight.

At least Smith put his hand up and didnt throw Bancroft under the bus... but by saying the whole leadership was in on it leaves us up poo creek selecting a new captain.... he's got to resign... surely ?

This is un farrking believable.... how stupid is Smith  ??


Smith as good as a batsmen as he is.... has got to be sacked immediately.   Should never Captain Australia again and should be suspended for a decent period.

I cant beleive it ????????
