Fucking disgraceful stuff to wake up to. Absolutely embarrassing. No say can Smith continue as captain after this. I gave him benefit of the doubt on the drs blow up, but this is blatant cheating

Continue as captain? He should never play for Australia again imo. Lehmann can go also. This is absolutely embarrassing, how dare these ***** do this to our country.

My thoughts are what would we want to happen if it was a team doing it against us? (& they have numerous times).

Now that Smith has owned up to it, then he MUST be stripped of the captaincy & never captain Australia again. For being the leader & asking Bancroft to do it, CA should suspend he for 5 tests & Bancroft 3 Tests. The ICC aren't usually this hard on players, but Australia needs to send a message to the World & our own players that we will not tolerate it & anyone caught doing it will be punished severely no matter who it is.

They have brought the whole country into disrepute by doing this.

Everybody is saying Lehman didn't know about it. Unless it can be proven he did, you can't doing anything to him.

This is an embarrassment. Watching the replay of it in slow-motion burns even more.

If steve smith does stand down as captain(or is sacked), who is going to take over? It can't be anyone from the now infamous 'leadership group' , from the story smith is telling they were all involved with this decision.

james sutherland just had a press conference and said they are sending sending over a few people to investigate it further, so there won't be any answers to it all for quite a few days. If they thought the crowd was bad before, imagine what is going to happen now lol . It is just mind boggling, instead of coming up with tactics to get the SA batsman out all they can come up with is ball tampering.

James Sutherland should have had the balls to just sack Smith etc.

There is nothing to investigate, they cheated & got caught.

I had a laugh when the umpires asked Bancroft what was in his pocket & he showed them a cloth to clean sunglasses, Bancroft wasn't wearing sunnies.
