Renshaw and Memeswell if it goes that far.If Bancroft and Smith both cop a one match ban, who do we fly out for the final test?

They still have Handscomb and Stoinis on tour, don't necessarily have to fly anyone out.If Bancroft and Smith both cop a one match ban, who do we fly out for the final test?
Might be a case of more about who played recently and won't be going in cold than who is the best player.If Bancroft and Smith both cop a one match ban, who do we fly out for the final test?
I forgot they flew out Stoinis. Would probably the the weakest Australian batting lineup in my lifetime and I grew up in the 80s.They still have Handscomb and Stoinis on tour, don't necessarily have to fly anyone out.
They stay suspended while an appeal is heard...Even better, I hope that Bancroft and Smith get banned by the match ref, but that they appeal and that there is not time for the appeal to be heard before the 4th test, so they play, and the the Saffer authorities say that it disgraceful that CA are undermining the authority of the match referee by escalating the issue into the legal realm ....
He is part of the leadership group and 1 demerit point away from a ban. ICC might give points to all those involved...Well he may well end up captain next week.
Surely Smith and Bancroft will be banned for that match at least?
Hard to prove beyond doubt who that group is regardless of what Brettig says.He is part of the leadership group and 1 demerit point away from a ban. ICC might give points to all those involved...
Have only just woken up to the news....Wow!! Haven't caught up with the thread yet but just wanted to comment on this.Some "hot take" thoughts:
1. No-one is innocent. Check your own team's record before piling in. If you're a Pakistan fan feeling this somehow vindicates you, it doesn't - don't make me post video of various of your players digging their nails into the ball in 1992. And by the same token, I'm well aware of Atherton cheating in 1994.

Can throw it at them that they did it all ashes too and were better side because of it. Moral high ground is now yours, enjoy it.I'll admit to finding this news this morning deadset ****ing hilarious, the amount of times over the years these pious supporters have pointed the finger and thrown accusations at everyone else whilst seriously believing their own team are the only honest, genuine players to take to a cricket field.........we'll what can you do now but to LOL at them?
It really is a double whammy for us........can throw a big question mark over the Ashes result and while the cricketing world is all looking at Australia, attention is diverted from what's happening in Auckland. This really is the gift that keeps on givingCan throw it at them that they did it all ashes too and were better side because of it. Moral high ground is now yours, enjoy it.
Not hard to prove the official vice captain is part of any leadership group. Others would be harder.Hard to prove beyond doubt who that group is regardless of what Brettig says.
He is that dopey he could plead ignorance and we would actually believe it.Not hard to prove the official vice captain is part of any leadership group. Others would be harder.

Spirit of 58 I think.What is happening in Auckland?
Exactly Sri....exactly.What is happening in Auckland?
Nup. You never criticise SA except this pretty puerile we may have BS. Your fans are grubs and your side has cheated. One of your captains was on the grift. So you won’t get away whitewashing your side by diversions about what Australia may or may not have done or said. Your parochialism is tedious.Pot calling the kettle black.
Aus behaviour is as bad if not worse. Way more incidents of poorly behaved Aussie fans then SA fans.
We may have overstepped the line but never as blatantly as this and we never tried to cover it up. Here we have Lehman/maddison & Smith trying to cover it up. Similar to how your board covered up Warne & waugh's bookie transgression...
