There is a lot of rumbling in the Australian media that the cricket association want to lift the bans on Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft but the board is sticking to their decision at the present time. To be honest this could be one of the worst Australian summers in many years even though India is touring Australia but with Smith and Warner out and they way the team is playing right now it doesn't look good. I'm not sure they will attract the crowds like they normally do and that is why I think the cricket association is trying to get these bans lifted. Time will tell if this happens or not but right now the bans will stand.
If for this reasons and all if the bans are lifted then tomorrow all other country will also lift the ban imposed to their players giving any reasons. They were banned for illegal doing which is correct and what board is doing is also good. If Australia cannot win without them then it is shame on Australia cricket that they dont have more potential players apart from their banned players.
Bhai, Believe or not Ball tempering has always been a big part of test cricket. before we had a few cameras on the ground now every move is monitored and it's completely different from Spot fixing. Make no mistake to mixing them up together.
One year ban is a very long period but CA took a tough and bold decision in this ball-tempering Saga due to backlash in Aus. not to mention Prime minister's comment was cherry on top IMHO.
Can you imagine the same thing happening in India if Virat Kohli gets caught in the same situation? Big No from BCCI even ECB or CSA.
