    I'm not so sure it will be a bridge burning exercise. If i was in charge of his PR, i would be getting a soft interview where is sit beside my wife, and we talk about the intense pressure that built up around their relationship. I would talk about a brain snap brought about by an angry response to get back at an entire country who was targeting my family, and drove me to make a massive mistake.

    I would paint a picture of a family pushed to depression by unsavory events, and how i deeply regret my actions that followed.

    I reckon you could paint a pretty sympathetic picture out of that, and pave the way for a redemption story.

    Those of you in Aussie will know more about Roxy Jacenko. She's the PR person behind all this, including the press conference.

    She's denying it.

    @mariner4life with soft lighting, and wife dressed modestly, demure expression. Cut to scene in backyard playing cricket with kids...

    I'm sure they're working on it, but it may well not work if people already know you've developed a comprehensive PR strategy.

    Keep your head down, take your medicine, and do the 60 minutes interview six months down the track when the heat's been taken out of the issue. Otherwise, your script is bang on.

    That Lance Armstrong interview with Oprah is doubtless full of good tips.

    Denying she is involved, or denying Warner is trying to sell his story? 😉

    The article I read said she was sitting next to Candice at the press conference.

    If he does that interview, he might make $1M short term but get the arse from pretty much everything else for life.

    Shut up and cricket.

    I think he believes he has already got the arse from pretty much all cricket.

    After completing his suspension he would pretty much walk into the Pakistan and West Indies T20 leagues. Ditto BBL.

    Assuming the Sunrisers fail to retain Warner after this IPL and he puts his name in the hat for next year - the auction system will almost guarantee him a spot, albeit at a reduced rate.

    He will be able to earn a handy living from cricket providing he can still play. Does he have an innate right to play for Australia and command top dollar? Talk to Brad Hodge, Stuart Law, Michael Bevan, Stuart McGill etc. Even Taylor and Waugh were run out of the team while holding the captaincy.

    Well I've just got home after a big night out in Melbourne with some prominent Aus cricket people ( flame away plebs, I ain't disclosing, suffice to say they directly get Howards and Sutherlands correspondence) and there's brick shitting about DDD.
    "We're not saying or deciding anything till we find out what he's going to do." was today's missive

    Seems to be a groundswell of opinion from those that actually live the game that the administrators are at least as culpable as the other 4 (Boof) yet no repercussions.

    I fear a Karen Carpenter....grab your popcorn.
    Aus cricket, having just lost the big ticket sponsor, ain't out of the woods

    ps Langer is widely regarded as the brown nose gnome, not the blue eyed coaching wonder the BBL would have us believe.

    That would be cool if he can use a body double.

    A female one.

    That bears no resemblance to him whatsoever

    And that is why Sutherland is going full weasel on how he handles this. Sure its justifiable that he says the things he says (or doesn't say) BUT its time for him to step down and fuck off.

    Warner, if he goes ahead with his tell all crusade to go down swinging should also highlight how much tax Comm bank and Magellan pay in Australia and how their company "values" relate to cheating.

    He's been encouraged to be who he is by the bosses. Now they want to cast him out, if he feels he has nothing to lose he will do what comes natural

    And he's not appealing ... time will tell if this is because he wants to cut his relationship with CA all together to purse other avenues of revenue generation ...

    Sensible move.

    How about Magellan. Signed on for 3 years of ashes but took the "values" option and bailed having paid 30% and still got the exposure of all of us knowing who Magellan is after 4 months.

    Am I the only one who first heard of them from game 1 this ashes?

    That's equally as dodgy as an ill conceived sand paper debacle IMO

    @majorrage also, why burn a salary to go it alone when you can take salary AND contract to maximise earnings.

    You smack your dog for doing what you trained it to do, don't be surprised if loyalty erodes

    Smith and Bancroft got out in front of this with their early decision not to appeal. That, and their confessions, will eventually win back the public. If Warner had decided to go a different route he would have further alienated himself from not just cricket fans, but his (former) teammates.
