David Warner

I tend to agree. The thing CA got wrong was not using the time to push for penalties of that type to become the standard for ball-tampering, rather than the almost-nothing that is still in place.

You understand nobody else would have endorsed that, right?

Even the likes of Harbhajan Singh didn't think it was that big of a deal; why would the BCCI?

 

[james brayshaw]

Very underrated by the Aus public, one of the greats of the game. The vitriol I see directed at him doesn't line up with the love his teammates clearly have for him.

The same team mates that kicked him out the group chat and didn't talk to him for 12 months when he was under heat?

.. it'll all come to light shortly

Never cheated, fcd up in your life? Then fair enough. He paid his dues. A year out was harsh. He was remorseful. Champion.

Was he though? No regrets as he said himself. I didn't buy it.

Did they? Are you sure? The evidence clearly suggests he is well regarded both in the Australian team and around the world.

I'm sure the South African crowd adores him and his entourage

He has a massive fan base in Asia.

well thats what was reported at the time and the bowling attack released a statement every time they were implemented in Sand Paper Gate

We aren't talking about me, we are discussing Warner. A year out was soft and I have no belief he was actually remorseful. I am sure the book that will be published in a few years will show all that

Ok, so you don't know then.

The fallout from the ball-tampering scandal keeps on coming and the executions have been swift – is there even the slightest chance Australia has taken this just a little bit too far?

This is a hearsay article from over 5 years ago. All you have to do is open your eyes and ears to see that his teammates love him.

loving him when his not under fire is not truly loving him

Yes they quite clearly do.

Fancy thinking that because the bowlers deny knowledge/complicity, that they weren’t part of it.

It may be true they knew nothing, but as if they would own up to it.

A year out was a ridiculous over-punishment.

He should have been banned for five tests, which is already more than every other proven ball tamperer has served previously.

5 Tests would have been close to what he missed, he only missed 8

He'll arguably be remembered as our greatest 3-format batsman.

As a cheat....

Certainly not the same headlines as Border, Boony, S.Waugh

Thanks for including Boon in this list. You’ve shown us we don’t need to take you seriously.

Boony is a legend thank you very much - also an Aussie Larrikan.

Well it's all over now and i'm glad he got his baggy green cap back, he's one lucky bloke to have been able to finish his career the way he has. IMO the South African fiasco will taint him forever and it was handled poorly from the moment it happened.
I wonder where cricket fans rate him among the all time great openers for Australia?
Will he be remembered along with :
Ponsford
Morris
Lawry
Simpson
Boon
Taylor
Hayden
Langer

Does Warner make the top 10 Australian Openers of all time list?
