Baggy Green ball tampering: Bancroft, Smith and the Aussie "Leadership Group"

They called a hospital when the prince was born and conned a nurse into revealing sensitive information. She ended up committing suicide.
Wasn't that the same company that they were working for at the time (Austereo) but not Kyle & Jackie O? The girl involved resigned and moved on from the industry while the guy was promoted (shock horror).

The overwhelming reaction to the Bancroft/Smith facing the camera is also classic mob mentality.

First there were many. Then there were three. Now there is one (and one coach behind the scenes).

What are people waiting for? For Warner to come before the cameras and cry like a baby?

Speaking only for myself, just waiting for this whole ****ing thing to end, and for the necessary reviews and changes to happen in the quiet, not at the point of a public sword.

Do people believe Smith is actually upset about this? When I breakdown and cry I have tears coming out of my eyes but that slimey prick had none. He's just gutted he got caught. **** him.

Nothing is going to happen for years mate

I sat under a tree with my dog a few weeks ago watching an U/15 rep match

The behaviour was abysmal

Thinking I was alone, I basically said "would you shut the **** up!"

As it turns out, the coach of the fielding team was nearby and heard me say it.

Long story short, he told me in not so nice terms that that was how the game was played now.

I despair for the game's future if that's representative of what's going on everywhere and I'm told by a mate who coaches in England that's exactly the case

Watched Smith's pressy. Incredibly sad and anyone who can watch that and still find any satisfaction out of this can not have a soul. Hope he comes back stronger than ever

Guess this will probably be it for me as a passionate fan as well. I'll keep in touch with the game certainly but will not look forward to anything with great interest

Seriously cant believe how gullible people can be these days....
Yes, he spent the entire flight mischevously planning exactly how he was going to contort his facial expressions to convince pretty much everyone who watched that he felt **** about, oh I dunno, losing his livelihood and reputation for a year.

Again, are you a psychopath or

No I'm sure it's all fake. He really doesn't care that his life has been turned upside down in the last 5 days and made use of his 18 hours flight taking acting lessons to master the voice quaver, red eyes etc

Arse clown.

Posts like that always say infinitely more about the poster than they do about what they're posting about. Utterly contemptible.
