Gteat stuff Trent Copeland, you've contributed nothin.

You have just summarised his entire career in one sentence.

 

[roofromoz]

Bowls legspin but is shadow bowling with his left arm.

Nice areas Warnie.

In better news NZ are 6/114 and their bowlers are scoring all the runs lolz all round.

This Bancroft bloke just threw the whole team under the bus with his comments IMO. No champ, you and Warner failed in your duty as representatives of Australian cricket. Smith should have really shut this all down when he found out about it.

 

[Parra]

Scripted, spin-doctored bullshit.

Give him 12 months more for participating in this farce.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Hardly a surprise call but Cummins is Australia's best quick by far.

The buck stops with the captain. If anyone is "most" guilty in this its Smith

My all time favourite cricketer Ricky Ponting. Could execute a runout, that merkin.

Good Riff boy Tommy

Yep. What’s the old saying, captain goes down with the ship.

What peeves me off with Bancroft’s comments is that he basically said if he didn’t do it he wouldn’t feel apart of the team and that he would feel like he would have let them down...

Don't agree tbh. I think he's owned his mistake, and he's explained why he made the decision. He's mentioned a few times that he made the mistake and that was no one's decision but his. He's also admitted he lied.

I'm glad someone has named Warner as the one who drove it too.

I think Bancroft comes across as a decent kid on the whole.

Well, Smith and the bloke who came up with the idea...

Nope the f**king captain knew what was going on. Its on him

It says a lot about the culture of the leadership group in the Australian squad at the time. He won’t gain any ground by throwing people under the bus but he wanted to come out and say what he really thought and what unfolded.

He’s done that and he’ll probably feel better for it. f**k Warner and Smith either way

 

[typicalfan]

Bancroft isnt a kid he is an adult who played cricket his whole life and was complicit.

 

[umina panther]

Nope its showing who Bancroft really is.

 

[umina panther]

If he was any sort of man the whole interview would have been "I cheated its on me"
