The Indian media is ruthlessly following this story... can’t blame them as the Indians (just like the other teams) have been at the receiving end of some chin music from the Ashes.. not to say about Smiths famous ‘brain fade’ asking for dressing room review
 
Cricket Australia announcement claim it was limited to 3 players; Warner, Smith and Bancroft who are all heading home immediately (ie not playing final test), somehow Lehman is still in charge (like Teflon is Boof)

Significant sanctions of those 3 to follow

So it seems CA trying to sweep at least some of it under the carpet too, whilst hanging those 3 out to dry (when they are finally ready)

Well that was a damp squib.

Even if Lehmann didnt know he should go. And Smith should resign / be sacked as skipper.

How lehman survives ill never understand, expect Bancroft becomes just a state player now, weve prob seen the last of Warner as an international, he'll jump on the T20 franchise gravy train now, Smith the uncertain one, expect he serves a short suspension then returns but not as captain

The mere fact Bancroft is doing it with other players around him shows that its not isolated. Everyone and their dog knew about it. Its cheating at an institutional level.
 
The more you think about it the more amazing it is, that three batsmen decided to doctor the condition of the ball but the supposed 3 other members of the leadership group, all bowlers, and using the doctored ball, knew nothing about it

They also appear to have thrown Smith under the bus. Their statement directly contradicts the statement Smith gave saying that the leadership group had discussed it. They're effectively saying that Smith's statement was a lie.
 
So is there/was there a Leadership Group..?
CA have done half a job.
Does the Aussie Cricket team have any credibility left at all?
Isn't this worse than doing nothing?
Knowing that there's 2 or 3 cheats still playing......
I'd have to be one of the few that didn't know...
