Not sure I'd have picked Sayers here. Once the ball is old he can become cannon fodder. I'd have rolled the dice on Richardson (though he is under-prepared).

40 wickets is a season for a swing bowler at Adelaide is nothing to sneeze at though, Wanderers tends to be good to his style of bowling too.

Richardson could just as easily go the journey on a fast outfield at altitude.

But what has he done this season? Not much. I like the guy, but at the moment he's keeping Cummins off the new ball in an environment where Cummins might be pretty useful with a new ball.

17 wickets in 5 matches isn't his best output but still not bad. He's been with the Aussie side half the season too.

I'd have actually opened with Sayers and Cummins. Controversial.

I agree, I find Sayers a 1 trick pony and if he cant get swing, I've also described him as cannon fodder, he just aint quick enough

2 for 64 off 26 isn't too shabby though, he only went for 2.4 runs per over so he's had a decent start

I think Warner handled those questions well.
Now is not the time to be answering some of them.
It really is up to CA to run a proper investigation and release all the details accordingly at the most appropriate time.

There is a lot of money at stake for each player and there is an appeal process. He needed to be cautious not to throw anyone under the bus or compromise his chances of getting the sanction reduced.

Exactly. He was asked "Was there anyone else involved" and he did not answer the question directly. Nor should he have. If he says yes, he is putting other team mates in it and is being seen to be a dog. If he answer's no, and it comes out later that there were, he is seen to be a liar. He has nothing to gain by answering these types of questions at this stage while emotions are still running high.
It is James Sutherland and Cricket Australia who should be being asked these questions, not David Warner.
I think he did and said the right things in the tweets he released that you quoted.

And yes, there's a lot of money at stake. Up to $4-6 million each for both Smith and Warner over the 12 months. That's a lot of Clive Ash.

Mrs Warner on the SBW masks. If you think it was funny, then you should give yourself a triple.

Have we executed these players yet?

Seriously the highest penalty ever given to ball tampering has been 2 matches yet we see fit to once again appease the bedwetters and give them a ridiculous penalty.

The media in this country just love to cannabilise their own. They should just be told to get f**ked and let them go into a self serving frenzy.
