Smith, 28, and Bancroft, 25, have also been suspended from captaining Australia for the next two years.

Warner, 31, will not be considered for "any team leadership positions in the future", Cricket Australia said

Fuck Warner, always thought he was a wanker, hopefully never see him play for us again.

So, as I understand it, they will miss a bunch of ODI's and T20's then

1 test against Zimbabwe
2 tests against Bangladesh
4 tests against India
2 tests against Sri Lanka
and probably
3 tests against Pakistan

Immediately after the Pakistan tour their bans end

Next up after that.....

The World Cup

And immediately after that

The Ashes

Cricket Australia have left the door open for people to say how convenient that is and I'm happy to march right on through it :D

Lol. Warner destroyed the career of Australia's greatest batsman. Give him an MBE

Australian cricket commentator Jim Maxwell told BBC Radio 5 live his "understanding" was that after lunch, Smith saw Bancroft and Warner in "collusion".

Maxwell said Smith had said to the pair: "What are you blokes doing? I don't want to know what you're doing", before then going out onto the field.

To be honest, I don't know how much of that I believe. Those quotes seemed like they were just trying to pin it on Warner.

Smith also wouldn't have been banned if he had no real part in the ball tampering incident.

As for what been happening over the last 2 years. They want the cancer out. I'll leave it to you to decide who that cancer is archie....lets face it your on the money. And 2 years brother. i got nothing other than my guesses could be right. so if a certain aussie bowler is mentioned ive heard nothing more about it.

Ok...apparently my NBN is corrupt, and the fact i see an optic cable out and i fix it is not enough. Fuck me. Ok..What i have garnered is this. Boof knew nothing. It was all on the Snake Warner. Bancroft will suffer for this. Not know if there was anyone else. For 2 years boof has wanted the cancer removed. (that should please archie!)
Conclusions: Fuck Warner off forever. Fuck smith off forever...(I dont wanna have to do that but it must be done) Bancroft off for 12 months. Boof retire with grace. If there is any stink of anyone else they cop similar bans.

Penalties down. Nine months for Bancroft. 12 months for both Smith and Warner. Probably fair. Warner will never play again. Smith doubtful. Bancroft with apologies.
