The Australian cricketers are out of control.

The Australian cricketers are out of control. They felt that they had a God given right to abuse other players after almost every ball. They now need a strong and disciplined leader, with a coach that has that balance between old school values and modern ideas. When Allan Border and Mark Taylor were in charge, most people respected the Australian teams. Having a thug like David Warner in your leadership group will always bring problems. Both Smith and Warner should be banned and their IPL contracts withdrawn. That should teach them that is a game played by gentlemen.

Cricket ceased being a gentleman's game a long time ago. The only folks who still play the game in that spirit are the women.

Smith's position as captain is untenable. This seems to be an orchestrated attemp by the senior players to cheat. The question here is how often has this been done before by the Aussies? This incident has really brought the game into disrepute.One wonders why Lehman is claiming innocence, I think poor Cameron Bancroft was asked to do the dirty job. I don't feel sorry for the Aussies, They play the game in a 'win at all cost manner', sledging an any given chance. Remember McGrath and Sarwan?

Warner from what I am reading is the chief cook and bokkel washer !

They have always been out of control and the ICC has been pussies when it comes to dealing with them.

Just look at this skuntery...and the team and management backed him up

this is not new! Its because they are in a losing position now they are taking action...big money at stake!
