Cricket Banter

Will this episode be discussed in Australia's Parliament?

Both Warner and Smith are already extremely wealthy individuals with extensive property portfolios of high end properties, it won't be the money they miss as much as the prestige thats comes from playing for Australia plus the damage done to their reputations. They should all of received longer bans to really teach them a lesson.

David Warner statement

Even now I still find it incredible that Lehman has kept his job and position as coach and he had no knowledge of what was going on. If I was him now I would be thinking about my position and even if knew nothing I would have done the honourable thing and resign, because I know it would be possible further down the line I would have some serious questions to answer.

What a difference that a week makes

Last week Steve Smith was the World's No1 batsman. Now he's just a sobbing wreck.
Even I was begining to feel sorry for him.

^ Brutal Very funny though

He's leaving at the end of this test

Lehmann had to go, he may have not known but as coach it was his job to be on top of things in the team. Him not knowing whilst is entirely possible shows he doesn’t control the team really.
