No ducking and weaving, no excuses, genuine remorse and accountability and awareness as to the hurt he has caused a great number of people.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.Scripted and fake as was Smiths.

Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #351 – March 31, 2018, 08:35:40 pm And so the script plays out, we'll lose this Test by an innings and plenty, and then lose our next few Tests as well, and then all of the holier-than-thou media types will call for players to be sacked for playing without any passion....

Imagine the overreaction in the media if he said everyone knew and were involved. I'm happy he didn't say anything there just in case they were all involved. Quote Selected
