        Because he isn’t playing for a year and is in this position because of the other two.

          Christ on a bike. He's hardly innocent of this and he completely threw Bancroft under the bus. He's gotten off lightly.

            Smith's lack of leadership put himself in this position.

              Lack of leadership in itself isn't a crime, but he was meant to be the adult in the room and has to take responsibility for not stopping it.

                One thing no one has mentioned yet. Steve Smith has a freakishly small head. I can't even imagine him and Zinzan Brooke in a photo together.

                    I think things have got out of hand. If the media hate campaign continues, it could end in tragedy.

                    I actually thought this this morning. I was an angry as anyone when it happened (including posting in this thread) but enough is enough now.

                      Presser at the airport was pretty tough viewing. Smith probably needs the year out of the spotlight. Basically said it was his failure in terms of leadership.

                      No sign of Warner yet.

                            That's the same fat prick that was in the Count Dankula vid in the British Politics thread.

                            He was a fluffybunny in that too.

                                So Smith and Bancroft fronted up to the media swarm and Warner put a brief statement on Twitter? Hmmm.

                                    Warner is most definitely the poison. CA know that as well (or have had the rest of the team make it clear to them), hence the very strong 'Warner will never captain Australia again' statement. That was a shot across the bow and I'd say he would have to be a very different person to get his baggy green back.
                                    Smith and Bancroft have already started their path to redemption, Warner will struggle to find his.

                                          @crucial Warner's statement is poorly crafted, especially in comparison to the presser. Warner says 'mistakes were made' which is classic distancing language, and not a good way to start. And then he finishes with wanting to take a deep breath and spend time with family and friends and advisers, oh and watch this space. Contrast that with Smith. He fronted up in front of the baying wolves, and you could see see the shame and remorse. I think the tide will turn back in his favour because of that, and his known character. With Warner, the longer he leaves it, the more whatever he does/says is going to be perceived as scripted and fake.

                                          Crisis management 101: you don't give it time to fester. Because people are people, perception always shits on reality, and they'll go with whatever scenario they've decided on in their head. More time = more this 'reality' will solidify, and the harder it will be to convince them otherwise.
