Darren Lehmann steps down as Australia coach over ball-tampering scandal
While Smith and Warner are banned for 12 months, Bancroft is suspended for 9 months by Cricket Australia.
Lehmann became particularly emotional when thanking his wife Andrea and four children for their support.
"They have made a mistake as everyone else, including myself, has made mistakes in the past".
"It's been happening for a few days and you think you can keep going but the amount of abuse just takes it toll".
While sponsors are jumping off at an alarming rate and overseas competitions like the Indian Premier League and England's county championship have closed their doors, two important moves were made last night as cricket began to fight back on the behalf of two fallen stars.
One of those was former Australia and current Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur, who wrote that the scandal was an inevitable result of an unwillingness to improve the culture in the country's entire cricket set-up.
"The way we dealt with Phillip Hughes", Lehmann sobbed.

The confessions of Smith and Bancroft, in particular, have prompted many in the game to appeal for the players to be cut some slack. The fourth and final Test against South Africa from March 30-April 3 will be his last game in charge of the Australian team.
The images were shown on the big screen in Cape Town and the Australian players were booed by the crowd; captain Steve Smith and Bancroft held a press conference after play to explain their actions. As I stated before I had no prior knowledge of the incident and do not condone what happened.
"Life on the road means a lot of time away from our loved ones". Despite telling media yesterday that I'm not resigning, after viewing Steve and Cameron's hurting it's only fair that I make this decision.
As to whether the Australian team had engaged in ball tampering previously, Smith maintained that this was the first, only and, arguably, last time it would ever be attempted. At the moment, Ricky Ponting and Jason Gillespie are the ones touted to take his place in the embers of the coaching staff, something that is indeed expected to be a welcome change for Australian cricket as a whole. The players involved have been handed down very serious sanctions and they know they must face the consequences. Tonight, I want to make clear that as captain of the Australian cricket team, I take full responsibility.
Warner, who was identified as the instigator of the attempt to cheat by the Cricket Australia probe, broke his silence via Instagram, apologising and taking responsibility for his "part" in the scandal.
"I hope the team rebuilds and the Australian public can forgive the young men and get behind the XI".
