That's my thoughts on Warner. If the team is demanding that the board make sure you're not even in the same building as them there's no point appealing the ban, you're done and dusted.

Australian cheating at Newlands, where to from here?

I think you can avoid that mostly as they are not the charges being examined in court. The factors proceeding the crime will be taken into account but they aren't factors that will help the defendants in this case, not like a driving infringement with a concurring mental health issue per say.

Be interesting to see a case play out, CA and the players are partners but when playing international games they both allow the ICC to make calls on player conduct, warner could have easily been banned by CA for a long time for trying to fight de **** but in that case CA allowed the ICC to be the final judge, that they cherry pick issues and go well over the ICC sanctions based mostly on public anger would concern me if i was a player.
As for warner appealing surely that would be so he could play in other comps, he would know his test career is over.

It may be who knows , Renshaw may come in and from here be a career 40+ test bat for 12-15 years . Maxwell may come in and shoot the lights out .
Obviously Smiths incredible hard to replace until he returns but I think Warner is very replaceable.
Indias spinners who torment us over there are nowhere near as effective here and most of there bats will find it tough work against our world class pace attack
I don think its doom and gloom at all , off field we have a heap to do though

Agree.
But the same building?????
To me this means scapegoat and convenience. I think we can all agree Warner is not the devil incarnate. So what the **** is actually going on?
Seems to me "the team" and Sutherland have a lot to answer for........So lets hear the truth without scapegoats and the full story. Who knew what and how long has this been going on?

Nothing, of course, which is probably what would happen with Warner. It would be more about playing in other leagues or the Shield. But CA would probably appreciate Smith getting his sentence reduced. They look tough and still bring him back into the fold.

Alan Jones very worked up, outraged, about the reaction and penalty given to smith. I think he's offended by the reactions on social media, and he said even prime minister malcolm turnbull got involved. Exasperated he gasped "MALCOLM TURNBULL"!!
Wonder if abbott said the same thing hed be as mad
Is he mates with smith?

If they some how get their bans over turned or reduced.... then I look forward to the public booing the hell out of them during their first game back

Yeah I can see that too
Jones has the integrity of an alley cat that hangs around men’s toilets in public parks..
I imagine why people don't like turnbull involved is you just figure he wouldn't even know what end of a cricket bat to hold if you gave him one i also just assumed the outrage at smith from pollies isn't what he did but rather that he was dumb enough to confess to doing it.

My point is do not admit to cheating no matter what is on footage is (I know it is wrong), but no other player I can think of has ever admitted to cheating, ball tampering after/during a match, bottom line is for being so honest it has backfired badly. Let the ICC deal with it and we all move on.

This is extremely tough to watch.
I feel for Bancroft. He should never have been in that situation.

I have no problem in the PM commenting on the matter manily becuase of a things
1) It is the countries national sport and
2) the histroy between the PM and men's cricket as outlined below
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister's_XI
Also who can forget Hawkey trying to do a 'Hilditch'in a charity match. Have we got Hawkey's take on the matter yet?

Warner should cop everything - sadly Bancroft and Smith are suffering as a result
