Warner and Smith have also been banned from captaining Australia for two years
What an OTT reaction.
Smith and Warner banned for 12 months.
Bancroft banned for nine months.
One year is too excessive.
4 matches would have been fair.
CA have thrown the book at Smith and Warner. They do have a right of appeal so the sentence may be revised.
Pakistani and Indian bowlers will.be doing bhangra as we speak. Pakistan play Australia for 5 ODIs in the UAE later this year so I'll be very disappointed if we don't win that now.
Lol this happens even at club level. Bancroft was carrying out instructions that are not unusual at all. The only thing is he got caught on live broadcast and his captain proceeded to implicate the senior players in his team in a press conference.What i'm really curious about is what Cameron Bancroft was thinking when he got the instructions from Smith and Warner.
Was he afraid to go against them?
or
was he more like this is not a big deal.?
A bit harsh in my opinion
welcome to PSL?
Still cannot believe Lehmann got away.

Smith and Warner have been banned by BCCI to play in IPL 2018. So it is not looking good for them. No league will touch them now.
When did BCCI ban them from playing in IPL?????????
They are not allowed to play domestic cricket and I think that also includes league cricket.
I dont think after one year they will directly enter the Australian national side. They might have to play a few domestic games to prove their fitness and form.
In the meanwhile if other players seal their spots by good performances, a return might be that more difficult.
Its only going to get harsher if it happens again (any team). Aussies have set a precedent here.
Nah, different board have different view on this. It may not be harsher universally.
I can't believe that people are saying it's too harsh.
This can destroy their careers. A bit too harsh I’d say. I think these guys are supposed to file an appeal petition and get that term reduced. If such a move isn’t in the plans, this will do more harm than good to Australian cricket.

There were many legends in the past (from every top nations)who lied about committing tempering,at least smith accepted.
You know other boards would not have given this harsh punishment

Our board should learn something from CA excellent step.
The reason why the board is taking such a harsh stance is the backlash they are facing from public, media and sponsors. In Pakistan the convicted match fixers re heroes. Unless the fans and public rebel against them PCB won't do anything.. They are happy to go along with the flow...
Agreed, as long respective boards welcomes culprits back to team with open arms. Stern message will not be passed to youngsters.
After this move from CA, AUS youngsters will not dare to do such things again in foreseeable future![]()
The aussie overreaction has been juvenile - if this was Kohli instead of Smith in the hot seat , I think the BCCI would have handed him a ban of maybe a couple of matches or a series at the most , mostly they would've just left it to the ICC.

to me it was a minor mistake and caught red handed....doesnt deserve such a harsh punishment.

It seems their biggest loss will be the $1.9 million they would have been paid by their IPL teams.
