Smith's Crew in SA

[ElwoodBlues1]

It's very rare for top level sports-people to be money focussed, the ones who are stand out like Tomic and they rarely if ever make it to the pinnacle of sport because they are focussed on the side benefits of being a top level sports-person.

Smith's grief is genuine, he lost the sport and career he loves.

Bancroft looked like he was about to throw-up at any moment, he should be worried he might never return to the Test team.

Warner is going to be a very interesting case, I suspect he might be the one to launch an appeal, he might be the one to show some indignation at the level of the penalty relative to earlier cases.

How ironic is it that the IPL drop players for cheating, it's like Hitler sacking a bloke for being a murderer, the whole IPL survives on spot betting and match fixing!

Warner is the most hated cricketer in the world according to HD Ackerman who I watched on a news show last night which also featured Gideon Haigh and Lisa Forrest of swimming fame...
Think the ICC and CA will want Warner out of International cricket for good...
The WACA have said they will support Bancroft and I would expect NSW cricket to do the same with Smith........of the two I expect Smith to make a return to test cricket.....reckon he wont tour SA ever again though...
