We are sorry.
We are sorry that you had to wake up this morning to news from South Africa that our Australian Men’s Cricket team and our Captain admitted to conduct that is outside both the Laws of our game and the Spirit of Cricket.
This behaviour calls into question the integrity of the team and Cricket Australia.
Following discussions with Steve Smith and David Warner they have agreed to stand down as Captain and Vice-Captain respectively for the remainder of this Test match.
As I said at a media conference earlier today, Cricket Australia and Australian cricket fans expect high standards from cricketers representing our country, and on this occasion these standards have not been met.
We know how you feel and have heard your feedback loud and clear. We share your anger and disappointment.
As you would be aware, we have launched an immediate investigation into what transpired in Cape Town, and our Head of Integrity is travelling to South Africa as we speak.
All Australians, like us, want answers and we will keep you updated on our findings, as a matter of urgency.
James Sutherland
Chief Executive Officer - Cricket Australia

I would be comfortable if each of the players involved received a 12 month ban
3-6 months is more than enough.
CA also needs to grow a pair and tell the ASC and politicians to STFU

The most disappointing aspect of the whole thing was Smith's conduct in the press conference.
Threw a tough question to Bancroft, blamed the leadership group and thought he was still the man to captain the country.
He really had no idea of the enormity of the situation and that says much about him.

How would it have been sitting next to him on that flight?
And, if CA have sent the integrity officer to SA to investigate surely Smith needs to be there?

Unfortunately it's a good opportunity for the pollies to garner some positive media coverage, albeit on something most know stuff all about. You never know, it might stave off Turnbull's 30th negative Newspoll!
Yes, yes, I know, back to the politics thread.
