I think it’s such a shame for cricket
The punishments had to follow and the length of bans probably justified
However, it’s such a shame because Smith is a class batsmen and the game needs the greats playing more than ever.
Crocodile tears from Smith.
No remorse from Lehman.
I'm sure Smith is genuinely distraught but he has to accept responsibility for what happened. His behaviour during the Ashes was poor, so it's hard to have much sympathy.
Lehmann has allowed the bullying culture to grow and his promise to learn lessons is too little too late.

It’s the money and being caught that’s made him cry.
Such melodrama. Like this whole saga, blown way out of proportion.
Gamesmanship happens, I wish people would accept that. Most people that are outraged would probably defend their team when tampering allegations come up.
Lehmann is going after the next Test.
I see Warne is going on the defensive. If this hada been England he would saying we deserve a lot more. The man was a bully on the field just like this current Australian team. and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

He was one of the more prominent voices accusing England of ball tampering in melbourne, thats for sure.
Leahman to step down after test series.
At least he has balls to do so.
The only thing I've seen from Warne is that the punishments are harsh and I'm tempted to agree with him when you think about the long suspensions, loss of captaincy, huge loss of money, etc. The latest being that Bancroft won't play for Somerset.

I thought warne was fair game: he gave it, and he certainly took it
Never had him down as a bully
Just true. No not blown out of proportion. We know cheating goes on but see no reason at all to accept it.
It wasn't casual, or heat of the moment, it was planned by the captain and vice captain of Australia.
I have zero sympathy for Smith and his crocodile tears, the only reason tears have been shed by him is because he has been caught and faces a years ban, loss of earnings and being disgraced by the Aussie public.
It is funny how just a few weeks ago Smith and Bancroft were seen giggling like naughty schoolboys in an Australian team press conference as they ridiculed Jonny Bairstow`s playful headbutt, and then today Smith is seen again blubbing like a Schoolboy about to get the cane.
What goes around, comes around as they say.

Pressure from public not CA
The Aussies are a ferile bunch,remember little Warner ridiculing Trotty which was pathetic.Brain dead Bancroft claiming with Smith he had the hardest head in WA,well he can now claim he's the thickest head in not just WA but Australia,Jesus taking advice from Warner the horrible waste of oxygen.
