I think I agree.

Not sure Sutherland could have said anything else at this point, but I can't believe he hasn't yet spoken to Smith and I also think he should have gone to South Africa himself.
This is as big as it gets.

It’s on the replay now on fox.
Shouldn’t the match automatically be awarded to the non cheating team in this situation?

You could make a case for that but it's not in the rules.
Adam Voges thinks it's a disgrace but that Smith is such a good batsman he should be retained.
Further proof that these idiots just don't get it.
The more I think about it the more I think that anyone involved should be banned for life.
The damage to Australian sport in general is irreparable.
Forever now, idiot English and Indian fans will be able to throw this in our faces and the only comeback we will have is if those responsible got life bans.

Saw a poll earlier and there was thousands of votes, it was over 90% voting he should lose the captaincy23.21.159 said:
Smith an Warner have stood down as captains
Smith and co have to go - given their admission they should have played their last test each
This Aussie cricket team has been so hard to like for a while now and this just makes it worse. I have just lost interest in what they do.
One thing I will say is that if Du Plessis tries to take the moral high ground I will (to quote Terry Wallace) fair dinkum spew up. He has been found guilty twice of ball tampering, once with minties and once with a zipper.
Send Cameron White or George Bailey over to captain the side in the last test along with a few others

The whole leadership group needs to go and Boof Lehmann can bugger off too. I'm sure he was in it up to his eyeballs, despite what Smith reckons
I would rather support an ordinary, honest team rather than a talented team full of cheats

The rot started when that great era ended and Ponting became captain.
That brought Australia back to the pack and they just couldn't handle not winning all the time.

Great article ... summarizes all my feelings about this: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/the-team-that-just-doesn-t-get-it-20180325-p4z663.html
Where they asked to stand down?
Stood down for the rest of this test? Correct?
Going on high defiant smith was in the press conference I think it may have been ACB/Sutherland ,
Who knows?
Paine captain.
Bancroft? Will possibly be suspended for the rest of the series?

This test after which the investigation will determine a punishment. They stood down after a discussion with James Sutherland.
It seems strange that CA don't have some sort of tribunal to determine these punishments like say the AFL.
