@mn5 Hansie Cronje was also regarded as one of the best ever...
That went well.

Ouch indeed! Did had a laugh about Warner running Bancroft out. Heard a few murmurs that it was Smith and Warner hatching this strategy rather than the full leadership group. If that is the case I'd imagine the rest of that group would be pretty pissed about how Smith framed things.
Now the ICC have given the one match ban for Smith it'll be interesting to see what CA think is needed on top of that.

It’s not like the players and CA are chummy at the moment. Bet they haven’t forgotten the drawn out contract negotiations earlier. Where they basically held the CA to ransom.

Yes, but a terrific christian.

Nice quote from David Warner following Faf Du Plessis ball tampering of a couple of years back.
"We hold our heads high and I'd be very disappointed if one of our team members did that.
"The rules are in place for a reason. If you're not going to use them why bother having them?
"If you're going to overstep the mark, be prepared to get fined and miss Test matches."

Iinteresting here in aus watching the public turn on them ,
They have lost their own supporters big time

Ok. I have gone from "not outraged " to "people need to calm the fuck down" . Some of articles and reports I have read are getting silly.

The bulk of them are coming from the Australians themselves

Agreed. There are far more important issues people should be losing their shit over around our political spectrum, but they won't because they don't care about politics nearly as much as they care about cricket. Cricket is easy to think about.
Plus, this feels a bit like the straw that broke the camel's back. As a cricketing public, we have generally allowed a lot of things to occur that other nations witness with a kind of seething hatred (that we've often written off to jealousy). This time we're not only losing, we're losing badly.
