He seemed very regretful. He also tried to shield others in the conference after that incident.

So they might grab Kirsten as their coach?

he might be the captain but he is still a kid really. I guess ppl don't realize how young the players are.

A lot has been taken away from him. It hurts becuase such a stupid thing caused you to lose so much. millions!! If things weren't taken away, it wouldn't have hurt this bad.

While I like no "cheating, tough" policy, I also realize the situation and the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

Cricket Australia should have handled this better. Sometimes its better to let ICC do their thing and you do thing behind the door. But I suppose Aussie ego has gotten in the way. I didnt like the moment their stupid *** president started making comments on this.

For most of us (subcontinent) the punishment is too harsh because we are reactive. Aussie culture is proactive. Just like Fridi, or fool, we would be saying they broke the law, ICC punished them; that is it. Subcontinent boards wouldn't bother after that. And if the correct people are on the top, we would be even trying to lower ICC punishment by fighting it.

I think he would be the coach. Gillespie just took over Sussex role for 3 years.

Most people including the Aussies are saying the punishment has been too harsh.

That is because they see a remorse Smith, Warner losing sponsorships.

This is an exemplary punishment to set a tone and change the culture of winning at all cost. I hope our board bring in the boys and briefs them what is acceptable.

I'm disgusted by our politicians involvement in Sports. Started when Julie Bishop (Foreign Affairs Minister) threatened to boycott the FIFA World Cup at Russia due to deterioration of international relations between the two country. Honestly who the f### is she to make decisions for Socceroos? Same with our PM and the cricket team.

Dear Australia,

Heard you need a new coach, feel free to take Courtney Walsh.

Bangladesh Fan

Rinathq · #**212** March 29, 2018, 10:18 AM

It was very hard to watch... I do feel sorry for Smith for the first time
But guys. I have nothing against this ban.. to me, he deserved it after pushing a young kid in his 7th game to do this... If he did it, I would've been more sympathetic... But imagine the damage he caused to Bancrofts career and reputation

R0ssei · #**213** March 29, 2018, 10:24 AM

What does Jack Kallis do nowadays? Didn't he coach KKR before? If you get a world class all-rounder as a head coach, you won't need a separate bowling coach (Walsh hasn't done anything anyway). We can pay him more and allure him to take the job.

This.

All cricket boards should follow CA in this issue.
And, here is ICC realizing it...

ICC to review code of conduct, ball-tampering set to be bigger offence

Well done. Now this takes the game under the microscope.

But the punishment should be a couple of games and a fine.

Something similar to Tom Brady and deflategate.

aklemalp · #**216** March 29, 2018, 11:28 AM

I hope that CA doesn't turn to be worse than WICB.

aklemalp · #**217** March 29, 2018, 11:42 AM

All indications that Langer is set to take over.

There has been reactions from all corners that the punishment doesn't fit the crime way before Smith's presser and the sponsors pulled away. You can check tweeter.

5tonne · #**219** March 29, 2018, 09:18 PM

If ball tampering is illegal, pitch doctoring should be illegal too. I hope ICC comes down hard on that.

iDumb · #**220** March 29, 2018, 11:53 PM

Do you think cricket Australia's response against these two was a bit of retaliatory for the recent pay dispute ? As I remember these two were in the forefront and very vocal regarding getting more money .

Not really. Losing Smith and Warner is a big blow to Australia's winning chances too. If your team has no1 ranking player and you suddenly lose him your whole game plan is sure to be affected. Add to that an aggressive batsman like Warner. Together they have scored 35% of total team runs in last three years. Who would want to sponsor a losing team? CA is already losing sponsors.
As much as it was about sending a strong message CA want these players to come back in the team. In fact CA was contemplating giving them a two years ban but decided against it thinking that might end their careers.

Yep, agreed. Rap on the knuckles from CA, slap on the wrist from ICC.
