@rancid-schnitzel you say he used the kids as a screen.
I say he was just taking them to the car after a long flight.
You say you can see through him to his scheming sympathy garnering via his toddlers
I say I see a man who's lost a terrble amount and wants to take himself, his wife and kids home, and carrying one of the kids through the airport to the car is how you do that.
And I see a guy who got caught hook line and sinker.
If I'd done something like this and knew that the press would meet me at the airport, there is no farking way Id let my family get off the plane until I'd gone through. It's disgusting and so obviously transparent. But if you think it's acceptable then that's your opinion and I won't be asking you to take a look at yourself.

@rancid-schnitzel that's abuse?
For calling out people who are abusing a guy for carrying a child?
Umm. Ok.
Quick question for you - may I please enquirer if you have been drinking?
Yes, it was just a guy, any old guy, just carrying a child. Why that could have been any of us. What a ridiculous thing to write.
You admitted you'd been drinking the last time you lost the plot which is why I asked.

The everlasting and grave psychological trauma for a 3 year old being carried through a partially full airport (way less commotion than Indian airports) to a taxi service outside the terminal, enroute to home, in Daddy's arms is being slightly overstated here I think
Yes because that's what has been argued by no one.
Virgil asked who in their right mind would put their kids through that media scrum, and you read that.
And? Who said anything about psychological trauma or lasting damage? Unless you think it was the right thing to do if it could have been avoided?

@rancid-schnitzel how do you hold up the plane for an hour And insist the wife and 2 irritable kids stay on board?
Serious question

What? That must have been the only option right. I mean he could never have just gotten off first could he? That would have been a logistical nightmare.

@rancid-schnitzel who carries the child? Candice can only carry one, who carries the other?
I can fully explain my scenario from the plane arrival to home. He carries the kid to the car obstructed somewhat by the rigours of his job
Your scenario involves a confirmation of his character that is not obvious from observation of these events.
Your narrative implies further deceipt from a convicted cheater.
My narrative implies he's beaten and fucked whatever he does.
Could he not be pr plotting, but rather just taking the family home?

Ok ..that's enough you are close to having an enforced rest.

The sad reality is the flip side of this is, Warner walks through the airport alone to take the heat, while the family is ushered out thr side door, the next day there is a photo and the headline is
"Disgraced cricketer abandoned by family"
-
TBF, most people at thier dark times want family close by, your kid and thier non-judging innocence will help...yes it was probably contrived and set up to garner some sympathy, but by the same account, having your kid with you at such a low point would be a big comfort.
DDD is still a muppet though.

I also think that holding your child may help to keep your emotions in check should people / journalists try to bait you.
Reckon I'd have made some better decisions over the years if holding my sleeping 3 year old daughter!
Shame Davy wasn’t allowed to carry one of his girls during his cricketing career
Might have stopped him acting like the cock he was. -

I would agree with that and then criticism of those claiming that would be more than justified.
Look, I think DW is probably a fantastic father and husband, who is devoted to his family. I applaud him for having them on tour and anyone who criticises him for that is a cnut. But in this case it was quite clear he was trying to get sympathy and to get through the media with as least amount of harassment as possible. As much as he loves his family and they him, this is something he has done and he should be a man and leave them out of it, not use them to relieve pressure on himself.

I see some people still have sympathy for Warner.
Me. I see the tears -- from an alleged hard man -- and think "fuckin' sook".
No, I haven't been through that sort of thing on that scale. But there'd be none of the blubbing, that I am sure of.
He was game for abuse. Now he's reaping the reward.

Who's alleging he's a hard man?

Wow. You are so tough. Incredible how you are mentally tougher than a successful test cricket opener

Actually, I suspect I am tougher mentally in many respects.
I haven't punched anyone who pissed me off.
I haven't broken down in tears when my career was on the line for a mistake (which, sadly, it once was). I fronted up immediately. I never blamed anyone else or "stress".
Off course I would be a total fussy facing a fast ball, but the cricket parts of Warner's career are admirable. It's behaviour when he's not batting that is the issue.
I have never mocked decent people the way he has because they showed weakness. The way he has taunted some of the Poms was disgusting.
How bad would his behaviour have to be for you to accept that he's not a good man?

If this is true, some people on here look quite judgemental. Smith was criticised for handing the first question of the press conference to Bancroft. Maybe he did that because he did not have prior knowledge of the plan. Of course, it is also possible that it isn't true.
