Smith's Crew in SA

[Sexybronco]

The press conference is staggering.

How a junior player ends up being the one to tamper with the ball - at what point does someone say “hang on, this is a bad idea”?

One thought that I had is that Smith might not have known about it... hence the talk of the leadership group... and he as the captain is taking the fall for others (e.g Warner)... who would get suspended.

But it is just incredibly stupid from all of them.

Can't see how Smith can captain the team for the rest of this game let alone the remaining test, send all those involved home wipe the slate clean and start again. If he dint know what was going then he's not in control anyway so he needs to go, if he did know then enough said and he has admitted as much. If we don't take a stance now we will forever be the laughing stock of world cricket.
