Smith won't step down CA board to meet
The Australia Cricketers' Association has foreshadowed potential appeals by the banned players, saying "there are a number of glaring and clear anomalies in the process to date which causes the ACA to query the severity and proportionality of the proposed sanctions". "That was the toughest thing I've ever had to do", Lehmann told the press conference in Johannesburg.
Lehmann added that he came to his decision after watching news coverage of Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft returning home having confessed to cheating in the third test last weekend.
"I take full responsibility". "Good people make mistakes. I have been speaking to the hierarchy in the last couple of days".

Almost 4,000 kilometres west, an emotional Bancroft apologized at Perth, Western Australia and said he will forever regret his role in the episode that resulted in 12-month bans for team leaders Smith and Warner and a nine-month ban for him.
A shattered Steve Smith was inconsolable as he offered the country a honest apology, taking "full responsibility" for what he considers was a failure of his leadership in Australia's ball-tampering controversy. "I'm sorry and I'm absolutely devastated", added Smith, widely regarded as the best Test batsman in world cricket. "It was a failure of leadership, of my leadership, I'll do anything I can to make up for my mistake and the damage it has caused". "I hope the team rebuilds from this and the Australian public find it in their hearts to forgive these young men and get behind the 11 who are going to take the field tomorrow".

"Not a second has gone by when I wish I could turn back time".
"I love the game of cricket, I love entertaining young kids, I love kids wanting to play the great game of cricket that I love".
