David Warner

[woota]

Are you saying none of those incidents occurred?

Yes, David Warner is an upstanding gentleman and a true role model for australian youngsters.

Liked on the assumption that is satire.... ?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Has there been a bigger flog to represent Australia in cricket ever?

It’s easier to cop an apology when you know someone’s error was completely out of character.

When an apology comes for something that, while an extreme example of it, befits someone’s character, the sympathy is always going to be somewhat lessened

Completely out of character?
He was given the job because somebody thought he was capable of hiding a piece of sandpaper and using it on the ball in between overs.
What would make somebody think that he was up to cheating in such a brazen way?

Doesn't say much about his character IMO.

Warner might be an in your face DH, but the worst kind of people are hypocrites and the 2 face brigade.

I feel sorry for the bloke.

Made a very stupid decision but it’s been an emotionally charged series. The comments and saga surrounding his wife by the South Africans was out of line and would have influenced his decision.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Errr are you doubting anything I’ve said or do you just want to #standbydave ?

Is that it? I mean, it's not great, but it's just some silly crap that's happened over a long period of time, and there's no hangable offence in there, imo.

Agreed. Surprised this hasnt been brought up. If it was the AFL the depression word would already be on the table...

What a load of crap....

Great rebuttal.

The bloke’s a twat.

You know the only reason he copped what he did is because he sledged De Kock about his sister, right?

“Hey! I can say whatever I like about your loved ones. But don’t mention my partners well known past!”

Warner is pathetic. As are his defenders.

 

[giggler99]

Never liked the bloke, especially the way he carries on at times like he’s gods gift to cricket! penalty is harsh as with Smith but honestly I wouldn’t care if he never represent the baggy green again!

The hate for the guy...it's just WOW!

Are you a twat? Just curious.

I don’t abuse people’s family members, so probably not. Or atleast not as big of a twat as ‘Davey’.

When Warner becomes perfect like you, and like 95% of the BF crowd, well...that'll be the day that I never watch cricket again.

Nope, he brought family into it, he opened the floodgates. Worse than that, he has ****ed over our team, complete scumbag undeserving of any sympathy

So u don't like the abuse that's been smashed upon Warner and Warner's family? I'm not sure what you're saying, but it sounds like you support de ****.

links? Just after some proof, not just 'someones' word.

Based on the last few days BF isn't the only place where hysterical reactions trump reason.

 

[Gough]

Waste of talent, or lucky to get as far as he did?

 

[maryjames]

Don’t get the hate on warner.

If this is true, can't see any way back for him even after a ban is served. The players won't want him around.

It's pretty likely we've seen the last of David Warner in Aussie colours, will almost certainly transition into a T20 mercenary.

Fake news

 

[The Passenger]

To be honest I don't think you can call anyway that played 70-odd tests a waste of talent.

Cricket wise his only blemish is performances outside of Australia.

Even before this test he was always going to be remembered as an antagonistic bastard. And not in the Rod Marsh, Ian Botham sorta way.... This week has only cemented that legacy.

 

[djrossie16]

Never liked Warner but starting to not mind him the longer this shit goes on. Now that he's clearly being positioned as Cricket Australia's (who have enabled him for years) scapegoat.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

What was wrong with the pitches in England? They were good test match pitches. That it showed up how average our players are who bat on flat decks in Australia and look like God’s is hardly cheating.
Cheating would be more like CA directing curators to prepare roads for money purposes. Oh that’s right, that’s what we do in Australia.

Forget Australian tracks for a minute. You don't see the way England prepared their wickets as cheating? Then how can you see sandpapering one side a the ball as anything other than challenging the SA batsman on a bit of reverse swing?

Sounds to me as if you want the rest of the cricket world to be a pure as the driven snow. It isn't.

“Hey! I can say whatever I like about your loved ones. But don’t mention my partners well known past!”

Warner is pathetic. As are his defenders.

I did it once, made an awful comment to an opposition player about a family member. It was 30 years ago, I can still remember where it was and the game it was in.

To this day I think "wtf was I thinking to say something like that?", although I can now see what was going on in my life at the time, and how it contributed to it all.

For many years I was ashamed but I realized eventually I had to forgive myself.

The main reason I say this is that comments like this (either from Warner or De Kock in this particular example) generally do not happen in isolation.
