If I was an Aussie I genuinely would've preferred Bancroft, Warner and Smith to be banned for life from playing Test cricket.
Smith would obviously be a huge loss, the others less so, but every single win or 50 or wicket that any of those 3 gain will always be tainted and tarnished...
Yep, thought we might've had this conversation before - thanks for bringing that article forward in the first place, it's a great insight. The "bad people on both sides" argument just doesn't wash.
There has been a toxic element in the Aussie cricketing culture for a long time, that is...
He is booed on and off the pitch every time he plays England because he cheated the game of cricket, nothing to do with the bouncing. He is booed every time and will be until he retires.
Guessing you've never read up on Smith, Warner, Langer, the "good bloke" culture, the implicit racism etc? Obviously everyone is aware of the blatant cheating, which will inevitably taint Smith, Warner and Bancroft's careers until they hang up their studs.
What I am talking about is rooted deep...
