Yeah these two have taken it like men , they made a mistake , owned up to it and copped the ban ..they might even come back better players . However No Sympathy at all for Warner . I have heard he is lawyering up and looking to appeal. Yep the James Hird of Cricket .Nico said:
Interesting how Smith and Bancroft have been very close through all of this, yet Warner has always been a day or so behind. Adds to the thoughts about him and that he may not have been liked much by the playing group. Strange that he was VC though if they didn't like him.
Think the reason is he has engaged an external PR advisor.
Though no doubt his relationship with Smith is sour. CA wouldnt even put them on the same plane back.

Article in the hun saying M Clarke prepared to come back and captain Australia.
Don’t think it’s necessary. This isn’t the WSC situation when the best 2 dozen players were taken out of the system (and necessitated a Bobby Simpson comeback)

Reports breaking that Cricket Australia will sign a broadcast rights deal with Foxtel (News Corp + Telstra). Adios Ch 9.
Seeing as I've gotten rid of Foxtel, my connection to cricket just died a little more.

CHANNEL Nine’s four decade involvement in cricket broadcasting appears to be over with Foxtel and Channel 7 the big winners in the new cricket rights deal.
Foxtel have been the major winner and reportedly purchased the rights to all major cricket in Australia in a rights package believed to top $1 billion.
Channel 7 are understood to have beaten Channel 10 to buy the right to broadcast some of the matches, including Tests, on free-to-air television.
Fox cannot act alone as anti-siphoning laws decree major international cricket must be shown on free-to-air television.
Channel Nine’s relationship with cricket had become strained in recent years after revelations it was losing more than $30 million a year on international cricket.
Chief executive Hugh Marks had made it clear that for Nine to continue to broadcast the cricket it would have to be a financially viable proposition.
