Gut feel tells me Smith maybe a slightly more innocent party in this than we know but who knows really.
Same gut feel tells me Bancroft was more than just wrong place wrong time
Except that respected cricket writer Mike Coward has said Bancroft has earnt a reputation in SS circles for ball tampering
Really? Any evidence on it?

the bans are clearly more than just mere ball tampering.
for starters it has been confirmed that it was sandpaper that was used. then they all lied about it.

I'm guessing some might have it in their kit bag for bat repairs? Only reason you'd think why they'd have it on hand?Tony Clifton wrote:There was sandpaper just lying around handily?
Do we keep a stock of it on hand?

What a peanut Warner is, deserves longer than Smith -Warner was found to have been responsible for the "development of a plan to attempt to artificially alter the condition of the ball", and "instruction to a junior player to carry out a plan". The former vice-captain was also charged with providing advice to a junior player on how to tamper with the ball "including demonstrating how it could be done". Warner also misled the Newlands match officials by concealing his knowledge of and involvement in the plan and did not voluntarily report his involvement.

Seems to be a common opinion at the moment. Not alot of love for Dave.northerner wrote:Not been a fan of some of the Poms self righteous comments including Michael Vaughan. But in this tweet I think he is absolutely spot on....
Steve Smith I think is a good guy who made a huge mistake. He needed punishing but I think this is too harsh. Bancroft, who I don't know, was led astray but deserved punishing but again too harshly. The other guy I really don't care about.'

I particularly like the 100 hours of community service.
Smiths penalty is the harshest as another poster said...loss of captaincy is huge!
