Excellent news, it was inevitable....looks like they gave him a soft exit...

Yes pretty much inevitable. There will be a complete culture change I would think - be interesting to see who gets brought in to implement that.

We have good depth and a good domestic comp and I expect us to rebound ok...the Ashes might be a tough ask but we have to rebuild/regroup and it will take a couple of series.
The game overall will improve as I expect sledging and general behaviour from all teams to improve as they look at events that led to tapegate.....

Take the point but suggest an examination of the wider inputs and implications of the crisis Is worth a go. That a personal emotional breakdown is taking place on a backdrop of a national one speaks of something deeper than some guys getting more cash than most can hope for. Bet the ex-captain would swap it for a living wage not for him and family not to be in this position. Gideon Haigh might not be to all tastes but he was righteously furious with the CA for overseeing and contributing to it all and isn't the only one.
Bancroft..less impressed with his confession, no great loss to Aus cricket if he doesnt play test cricket again, one of the dumbest players I have seen..
Warner.....I guess he is getting some legal/PR advice and will give a more broad confession where he admits to minimal guilt and tries to save his 20/20 tournament career.
No real sympathy for any of them...they had it all and didnt appreciate the opportunities they have been given, others who appreciate it more deserve their place in the national team.....

what's that saying, the rot starts at the top.....
Re: Smith's Crew in SA - maxm68 - 03-29-2018
Yep... Lehman came to his senses and fell on his sword. Sutherland needs to do the same.
Bancroft and Smith have apologised and said the right things.
Over to you Dave Warner...

Don't be surprised if Lehmann was given a fairly abrupt nudge!
