Jonathan Agnew reckons that Warner will never play for Australia again. Poor Warner must feel the world is against him - first the opposition players, then the opposition crowd, then his own players and now Cricket Australia.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.
Not to mention some of his sponsors have started dropping him as well.
If Warner isn't going to play for Oz again, then I cant see Smith either. Imagine the reception both players , and therefore the team, would get throughout the world - everyone hated them before this happened anyway. I would expect CA will want to completely rid themselves of the stain and start again with a new model. Hopefully this will rid them of their childish sledging antics and moaning to Umpires.
Of course we shouldn't forget that the likes of Smith and Warner are still contracted to play in the IPL. It will be interesting to see the reception that some of these will get from the crowd and even their teammates.

Depends what else comes out about it.
Personally i can see more coming out about it and Warner being the main instigator and getting a large part of the blame. I don't think he'll play for them again but Smith i think will be back for the world cup and the Ashes

Neither will play in this years IPL.
Which is good news because I backed Kohli last night at 12/1 to be top run scorer in the IPL and both would have been major contenders.

Thing is, the IPL have (presumably) already paid out huge sums for the likes of Smith and Warner (isn't he captain of his IPL team too?), that maybe they will be reluctant to release. Although I assume that there would be some sort of contractual release for misdemeanours such as this.

As CfS said, Smith and Warner banned from this years IPL...

Wow, that's a good spot. 12/1 - that's a cracker.
My son spotted it - he is a trader and likes nothing better than to spot other traders' mistakes!
they've made themselves look even more daft by daring to suggest that Lehmann knew nothing about any of it.
They have but I think we should give CA some credit for 12 months bans of their best two batsmen as they didn't need to do anything - especially when one looks at the previous bans imposed:
Atherton - fined £2,000
Tendulkar - one match ban overturned on appeal and the Indian cricket board refused to accept former England captain Denness as match referee for the third Test and it proceeded but was declared unofficial
Inzamam ul-Haq - banned for four matches
Afridi - banned for two T20 matches
Du Plessis - fined 100% of his match fee and given three penalty points
I would not be surprised if the players don't appeal and the bans aren't, ultimately, cut in half.

Also you think the decision was made to doctor the ball without the knowledge of at least one of your quick bowlers. Doubt it.
