They're gonna scapegoat Warner.

...Or maybe just sack the coach, give the players each some months off, pick a new skipper and move on.

I do hope he talks about further investigations.

Coach is fine. Didn't know about apparently. 

Yeaaaa ok!

Warner, Bancroft and Smith to be charged. 

Nobody else knew about it. 

Sorry, that's bull!

Mike just asked if there was any evidence for prior cheating.

Apparently it's an isolated incident.

The levels of BS rise and rise.

I was watching the conference and there was a lot of white-washing - and they may have to eal with the issue as well in future for a time to come. 

However, I think that Smith d Warner will be banned for a year and the Aussies will make sure Warner is never selected again for the team,  Bancroft will probably get a six month ban.   

If that happens I think that the IPL will terminate their contracts with Smith and Warner for this year . The two teams will look for alternatives and Markram may yet get a nice contract from one of the two teams involved.

BS Maaik, the ICC nanned Smith for a match.  Warner might still be banned, but there are no way that they should be banned from IPL even if CA choses to ban them for longer.
