Mntboy Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Sorry, my mistake. They're not here yet, their heads of "Integrity" and Performance is apparently on their way.I think telephonic discussions were held which lead to Smith and Warner to stand down. Additionally Trevor Honnes, chair of the Selection Committee, is here with the team as well. So a CA person is here already and I am sure that he would've been given authority to remove Smith and Warner. In fact as chief selector he may have that authority already.

Thor Buttox Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Good read ???????? https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/the-team-that-just-doesn-t-get-it-20180325-p4z663.html?__twitter_impression=trueBeing over this side, and being involved in sport myself there is a HUGE emphasis on fair play. Before every sports meet I have been to as a coach there is an oath sworn by each of the groups of the athletes, the coaches and the officials. From afar we don't know how seriously they do take it (well, at a lower level) . The average Joe here is not happy. Edited March 25, 2018 by Thor Buttox Mntboy 1
Mntboy Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Good read [emoji1476] https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/the-team-that-just-doesn-t-get-it-20180325-p4z663.html?__twitter_impression=trueThat is scathing and that's the nicest way I can put it. The Aussies are very very upset about this. And they should be. Their cricket teams have been the premier sports team in Aus and as such have a responsibility to represent the best attributes of the average Aussie has and holds dear. In much the same way the AB'S have to do in New Zealand. There's always that extra pressure to do well not just for sporting pride but also national pride. Perhaps something we can learn from the Aussie public. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
Warthog Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Good read https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/the-team-that-just-doesn-t-get-it-20180325-p4z663.html?__twitter_impression=trueWow. Well said. So let's be veeeerry optimistic and says CA does what is suggested. Then what? Smith and Warner gets relieved from the captaincy and vice, and together with the other 3 are stood down for Wanderers. What happens after Wanderers? There is some disciplinary action by ICC, loose some money, but lo and behold, in a month they are back on the field. Really????
'Dale Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 The only way things can get worse for Steve Smith and Australian is if we find out that they’ve been having baths while staying in Cape Town. From Tweetiebird Lexx 1
Warthog Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Oooookay... there we go... The f...nuts at ICC: Bancroft: 75% match fee forfeited. 3 Demerit points. Smith: 100% forfeited. 1 Test match ban. WTF? Really?
Lexx Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 ICC Is actually fare. Faf's ball tampering incident. He wasn't banned, only 100% match fee was charge.
Warthog Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 ICC Is actually fare. Faf's ball tampering incident. He wasn't banned, only 100% match fee was charge. Far should also have been banned. Finis en klaar. He knew what he was doing. Not trying to condone what Faf did, I said above I don't believe he should be captain or even in the team, but as I remember with the last one he was actually chewing/sucking a sweet whilst using saliva to polish the ball. That is bit different to the leaders actually discussing and planning in a meeting over lunch to deliberately alter the condition of the ball... in other words: Ok, boys, let's cheat. Sniffie 1
Lexx Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I believe everyone who is ball tampering, is thinking about long before they do it. Sport isn't what it used to be. Everyone is doping, and its the norm. They just doing it in a much smarter way. Its like they don't have any Pride to play for their country anymore. Its now all about the $$$ Warthog 1

There's a lot that still needs to happen and I think that there will be a bit of a bloodletting to occur in the Aussie set up. Lehmann will lose his job after this series. The Aussies are not blind to how he has a hand in everything that happens in the team. I think too that both Smith and Warner will be given hefty fines and match suspensions by their board. And I think that the other players involved will probably get a cut in salary. Dave Richardson has also acknowledged that the ICC needs to take a clearer stance on what is allowed on the field of play and how players are to conduct themselves. So personally expecting more fall out on this. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Lexx 1

Smith, Warner, Lyon, Starc are the current glamour boys of Aus Cricket... I just can't see CA clapping them more after the ICC has slapped only Smith's wrists. Edited March 25, 2018 by Warthog

Just hope the devil didn't make them do it...
Showtime Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Nice run out. Bancroft battling with where the line is again.
