@Emelia8 I agree with you on the ban but of course they had to overturn his because they overturned Smith's. Smith should have not had his overturned either, he was the CAPTAIN and obviously he allowed the actions, or it wouldn't have happened.
I think the one who was worst off is in fact Bancroft, he hasn't even seen national selection since that event and he was the virtually the newest member of the team (so an easy target for the senior players to put in the crosshairs)

Smith, I believe was a scapegoat @Arbie_wun His only crime that of ignorance and allowing his vice captain at the time (Warner) to run rampant. There is no question Warner was the instigator, almost certainly behind Smiths back. Eventual penalties at the time, appeared to confirm this. Smith, as he was captain at the time, unfortunately also had to go.
Bancroft's main fault was stupidity. "I didn't know it was wrong" 😕 Sadly for him, the optics with him having sandpaper in his pocket, lives with him for life. And in all probability, I personally don't think his form has been good enough for selection since his ban was lifted. Overtaken by numerous others.

Quiet weekend for me @Shaz51
Very hot here today, 36C predicted.
But rain and thunderstorms likely from this evening, and the rest of the week. Thankfully cooler from tomorrow though, back down to 28C.
I see you are in for a big wet up your way Shaz. Stay safe my friend, and hopefully dry. 💕

Was 43 here yesterday and today is a much more respectable 30 degrees.
There was also a small shower this morning too, so it was a little bit humid until around noon.
