Lehman is guilty as sin. How he can still stay in the role of head coach is a joke. What was he doing during the leadership group meeting? Gone to the bogs to knock one out at how impressive his team is...so missed the discussion is the only plausible explanation!

There will have to be fundamental reform here, root (sorry) and branch.

A complete re-brand of Aussie cricket rid of any cheating sledging tampering all the rest of it.

Just think they were 'on strike' just a short while ago, wonder what the employers are thinking now.

It's funny how this filmed incident with Bancroft putting sugar in his pocket during the 2018 ashes has only just come to light. Who filmed this, was it Aussie telly or a private individual. Why wasn't it bought to the attention of the umpires during the match and why wasn't it reported appropriate authorities.
I can imagine that if an England player was filmed doing this then within an hour of filming it would have been all over the Aussie press.

Smith and Warner banned for twelve months and both excluded from the IPL as well.

I'm still sure that someone else was involved as Smith wouldn't say that it had been discussed with the leadership group if that was only one person

"Du Plessis was found guilty of ball-tampering by the International Cricket Council. He had previously been fined half his match fee for scuffing the ball on the zip of his trousers against pakistan in 2013.

The charge did not result from any accusations by Australia but vice-captain David Warner told reporters afterwards: "We hold our heads high and I'd be very disappointed if one of our team members did that.

"The rules are in place for a reason. If you're not going to use them why bother having them?

"If you're going to overstep the mark, be prepared to get fined and miss Test matches."

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."

Not in the IPL, as I predicted earlier, which is the real cash cow and they can't play Big Bash either as that is an Aussie comp.

Our T20 blast doesn't pay big bucks and those two have never previously been keen to play in pakistan or Bangladesh etc. That leaves about a month in the CPL and a few weeks in NZ, if they're lucky.

Optimistic as ever
