Australian players have apparently requested to management that Warner be removed from the players Hotel Lodgings.

Apparently seen drinking champagne with non cricket friends and removed himself from a player WhatsApp conversation leaving everyone else to deal with the fall out of the ball tampering.

Players who approached management have indicated if it doesn't happen then an 'incident' may occur.

That's some heavy shit if true. Warner sounds like an even bigger premium A grade scumbag now.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

That's actually the worst thing I've ever listened to.

Nails on a chalk board would have more melody

 

[Nate7]

Renshaw Burns and Maxwell added to the side.

Sutherland says incident confined to only three players.

Lehmann has not offered his resignation.

 

[Nate7]

Tim Paine appointed captain for remainder of series.

Sanctions will be heavy and handed down soon, likely tomorrow.

Press conference live from Jo'burg on ABC24

 

[Nate7]

Smith Warner and Bancroft will leave South Africa tomorrow.

 

[Nate7]

Lehmann will remain as coach for the final test in South Africa.

Lehmann will remain as coach for the final test in South Africa.

In fact will see out his contract apparently...which finishes after the next Ashes.
Should be sacked IMO.

 

[Gasometer]

Smith will do an 'Australian Story' mea culpa by August.

Nek summer playing Cricket.

Sure as I can spell Andrew Denton.

Storm in a teacup. They all cheat. The Indians have been doctoring pitches since the 60's.

Lehmann has texted Adelaide Radio that he will be giving a press conference tomorrow (which could be tonight for us) and everything will be know then!

He's gone mute.

Yeah, but super convenient for keeping a team on the park.
Bowlers of course wouldn't know anything about the condition of a ball.
And Boof was busy buying cryptocurrencies at the time.
John from India just gave him some good tips over the blower.

What's super convenient is having an investigation done by CA!

 

[KiwiRoo]

so Boofs conversation on the radio wasn't to tell the 12 man to go tell Bancroft he'd been busted, it was to buy another 100 Bitcoin

makes sense

James Sutherland had 1 chance to make a statement and draw a line in the sand in regards to the culture of the Australian cricket team instead he shat the bed.

I find it both amazing and typical that CA expect us to believe that no one else had any idea.

If Handscombe had no idea what was going on, how did Boof explain it to him with a couple of words? There was no look of surprise or bewilderment from Handscombe, it was just all matter-of-fact.

He looked surprised and when you read his lips it looked like, "what the f***".

Despite GR even posting that synopsis of other tamperers, our own folk (on here and via media) are acting like these blokes just killed someone.

It was a balls-up. But geeze I wish all the other cricket balls-ups were treated with such furor.
