Warner has contributed to this greatly.
Can anyone see that previous captains,Waugh, Ponting, Taylor,Chappell (both)
Would've taken him aside and told him to pull his head in.
Smith isn't a big enough character to do this.
CA however should've stepped in on his behalf so heads should roll.
We should continue to play hard no compromising cricket, but have a firm grasp of the spirit of cricket.
Abuse is not sledging its just plain abuse.
Sledging is an art form that should only practised by people with at least half a brain. Davey hasn't qualified!
Questioning batting techniques and courage are acceptable.
Telling a bowler he's slower than his mum or questioning his field placements are also acceptable.
Giving Ol butter fingers second slip a clip, or calling a fielder custard arm are also allowed.
As for trying to get bans lifted, that's a joke.
These blokes are lucky to be able to represent Australia again....well one will.

Out of those captains, I reckon only Ian Chappell could be relied upon to reign in personal abuse and playing outside the spirit of the game.

Respectfully disagree.
These captains, and i forgot Border, all understood the spirit of the game and their standing not just in the game but in Australian culture.
The line in international cricket has blurred badly in the last few years.

I’ll say it again people go on about Warner Smith et al but Cricket Australia is the root of the ills.
