It's just ball tampering. People are acting like it's spot fixing or something genuinely corrupt. Also people love to overreact atop their ivory towers don't they?
 
Refused to answer questions about if anyone else knew about the ball tampering apart from him, Smith and Bancroft. He could of easily said no but didnt. Looked to me like him wanted to say something but has been told not to
 
What a crap actor that Warner is...not genuine at all. When I watched Steve Smith you could feel his utter despair and the terrible state he was in. This guy Warner is just a repulsive character.

Agreed completely. The bigger problem for cricket is why they felt they needed to do it in the first place. They were playing at Newlands which is a beautiful venue but the last Test that England played there yielded about 1500 runs for about 15 wickets. That's the bigger problem for cricket. If players want to rough the ball up a bit (even though foreign objects is a step too far), the umpires shouldn't be warning them every 10 minutes. If not, you've either got to introduce the new ball a lot sooner (e.g. after 60 overs) because overs 30-80 are normally a batting paradise and games that don't provide a fair contest between bat and ball are far more responsible for people losing interest in cricket than any ball tampering is.
 
So Warner has just dropped half the team and management in it with his press conference and later statement. Gonna be explosive when he's allowed to say what he wanted to. Reckon his autobiography will be being written right now to be released in 12 months.
