Watch the first bit where Smith throws Bancroft under the bus
Smith and Boof should be sacked. 'The boys in the shed are embarrassed'. So much remorse (after being caught).
In his rambling, though, he did confess to bringing the game into disrepute.
.....and it is all so fucking hilarious!

Seriously though, if the ICC don't have the balls to charge Smith and Lehman it will be a piss weak effort on their behalf. Bancroft also deserves further charges.
Smith has admitted to being complicit to an attempt to cheat. It was a planned act.
Lehman sent a message out for Bancroft to hide his cheating as the cameras had caught him.
Bancroft then deliberately lied to the umpires, showing them a sunglasses case.
Saying 'we are very sorry' doesn't cut the mustard.
Will be interesting to hear the CA line as well.

So Bancroft to be the scapegoat?
Desperation drove Australia to cheat - Smith
Australia's captain said it was the decision of the team's 'leadership group' to try and rough up the ball in an effort to get it to reverse, and that the coaches had nothing to do with it
-
Wtf! Admission of preplanned, and leadership group endorsed, ball tampering!! Then you throw your youngest player under the bus??!! Fuck me, these guys have a long way back to any claims of playing anywhere near the spirit of the game.
@Crucial that 'explain' opening to the vid was brutally cold. -
Come on. It's just good hard aggressive cricket. They know where the line is and they don't cross it.
Oh hang on. That's their excuse for personal abuse of the opposition. What's their excuse for blatant cheating again? "We're not good enough to win an important game ...?"

The biggest scapegoat since Trevor Chappell

We know that line changes depending on the circumstances.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot and deflecting any conversation about Rabada and the personal abuse from the crowd.

I hope the S.A. team get a supply of the tape and wear it on their middle finger 😁
The more I read about this the worse it gets. Can't see how Smith can continue as capt, even if it's just a temp stand down. It's the stupidity as much as the cheating, not to mention how they essentially set Bancroft up to do it. I bet there were all manner of winks and gestures from leadership while Bancroft was in the vicinity.

Mate I don’t see it as hilarious at all. They’ve been caught out blatantly cheating, so blatant that they’ve had to fess up. That’s not good for cricket and it’s a real fucking slap in the face for the Aussie supporters. I know, cue much mirth about their plight but the majority are genuine fans of the game and deserve better. I know if this had been England I’d be ropable.

Hence my more serious post underneath that one.
The hilarious-ness of it is that it comes after Boof just tried to take the moral high ground and the incessant talk about not crossing lines. That part is funny.
IMO if the ICC don't throw the book at these fuckwits the game has just written its death notice.
