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.

I think there is a difference between saying something nasty in the heat of the moment when under pressure or stress vs. planning who and how you are going to sledge someone.

Its actually a good thing to regret saying something nasty or stupid in the heat of the moment but it is pretty low for someone to go around basically playing the man with little regard like Warner is said to do, making it worst is his sulky response when someone stood up to him.
 
Remember Graeme Swann referencing Warners behaviour saying at some stage it would come back to bite him. For a guy rarely on point he nailed that one

It reeks of "o look I'm a family man with kids to look after"

The kind of look channel nine or some other media trained PR person would have recommended.

Warner is a family man, and he and his family had just stepped off of their long flight home...

Is that OK with you, Bombermania??

Not sure why you are responding to my comment when mine was in response to an earlier comment questioning the wisdom of his decision to walk through the airport with his wife and kids.

Hopefully he is a better family man than test team player.

He's buggered up, we all know that, but he's a Great test team player, a great team player in any side that he plays in, and a great of the game (although tarnished atm)...

This much is in serious dispute after attempting to throw the bowlers under the bus. I'll be interested to hear what he says in his press conference though

Tarnished atm? That bird has flown, perhaps even before this latest incident.

Also you're not a great if you average in the 30's away from home.

Typical that someone would pull up such a stat. I'd imagine most batsmen would average less away from home.

His OVERALL test batting average is 48.20 at 74.5 s/r.

"
David Andrew Warner (born 27 October 1986) is an Australian international cricketer and former captain of the Australian national team in limited over formats.[3][4]

An explosive left-handed opening batsman, Warner is the first Australian cricketer in 132 years to be selected for a national team in any format without experience in first-class cricket.[5] He currently plays for New South Walesand the Sydney Thunder.[6]

He served as the Australian vice-captain across Testand ODI formats of the game between 2015 and 2018.[7]

He predominantly fields at slip, but has moved to midwicket after thumb injuries in 2016. On 23 January 2017, he became the fourth player to win the Allan Border Medal more than once and also win the award in consecutive years.

Currently, he is ranked 6th in the list of top Test batsmen in the world and ranked 3rd for the top ODI batsmen in the world, according to the official ICC Player Rankings, published in April 2017. He is the first Australian and sixth overall to reach 1,500 T20I runs.[8] He is also the first Australian batsman to score 7 ODI centuries in a calendar year. On 28 September 2017 he played in his 100th ODI and became the first batsman for Australia and 8th batsman overall to score a century in his 100th ODI."

Great batsman don't have a home/away differential of close to 15 runs. Plus I disdregard that wiki post as it says he fields at slip.

So this is wrong?

Just a few examples below. Warner goes ok.

So his differential is 22. Also why is Khawaja in there? Some padding for your flimsy arguement?

But ok guy, you're right Davey is great who will be revered for years to come

Khawaja was obviously in there as an example of differences between home and away averages. Don Bradman was the only other one I checked, but he's a different beast, averaging about 100 for both.

He hid behind them at the airport. So I wouldn't be surprised if they were sitting with him and his wife at the press conference. What a great bloke.

I've always hated the prick, this whole situation is music to my ears.

I hope he has a nervous breakdown, he is such a shit human and deserves all he gets.

You've pretty much said what a "shit human" would say....

On SEN, they were saying that Dave Warner's press conference will go one of two ways: He'll accept the sanctions or he'll go to town on all and sundry. The key thing is that they believe both scenarios are equally likely to happen.

Toss a coin , could literally go either way

I kinda hope he tips them all in it, because I don't think CA is being entirely honest and if they want to move on from this debacle, they need to own up to it properly.

But regardless of whether he plays for Australia again, he is going to play in plenty of T20 teams and no one wants to play with a rat. He will probably play it down and save it for the book.
 
So official countdown on to the presser , what do people think he will do ?

I think he is going to appeal
