Australia bowling first in series-decider after scandal
A distraught David Warner issued an abject apology for his role in the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal on Saturday and said he was resigned to the prospect of never playing cricket for Australia again after his 12-month ban.
But Warner was charged by Cricket Australia with developing the plot and telling Bancroft to carry it out.
"To the fans and the lovers of the game who have supported and inspired me on my journey as a cricketer, I want to sincerely apologise for betraying your trust in me". "At the present time, you'll hear from me in a couple of days". I hope in time I can find a way to repay you for all you've given me and earn you respect again.
Smith, opener David Warner and Cameron Bancroft received bans after their involvement in ball tampering during the Day 3 of the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town.
During the pre-match press conference ahead of the fourth and the last Test against Proteas, Lehmann announced that the Johannesburg Test will be his last match at helm of the Australian cricket team.
"I think it is partly because the (Australian) Prime Minister (Malcolm Turnbull) has come out and said "this is ridiculous what's happening". National media said the team had heaped "disgrace and humiliation" on the country, while fund manager Magellan pulled the plug on a Cricket Australia partnership worth an estimated A$20 million (US$15 million) as sponsors have fled. We made a bad decision.
"I'm sorry, Smith said in his initial statement to the assembled media. It's only fair that I make this decision", he said.
Du Plessis promised his team would be ruthless in its effort to seal the series amid Australia's crisis and Markram was the best illustration of that, knuckling down to make his fourth century in his 10th test and hitting 17 fours and a six.
Anthony Joshua: No pressure to keep KO record going vs. Joseph Parker
He is ready, he is looking in great shape and I think ready to add another belt to the collection'. Hes a good champion. "You will be in for a good, good fight (on Saturday) night, believe me".
Forecast: Warmer today, then cooler again over the upcoming weekend
The best chance will come Monday night , with increasing clouds and increasing rain chances after midnight. Breezy, with a south wind 10 to 15 miles per hour increasing to 18 to 23 miles per hour in the afternoon.
Google Play Books New Features Make Listening To Audiobooks A Lot Easier
This week saw several new announcements from the search company such as the first Chrome OS tablet and mobile-first indexing . Books can be shared with up to five different people (depending on the book) and can be read on either the app or the web.
"I need to take a deep breath and spend time with my family, friends and trusted advisers".
Warner has been banned from all worldwide and domestic cricket for 12 months and will never be able to have a leadership position in the Australian team again.
He also said he was "fully supportive" of Cricket Australia's review into the team's culture.
The reputation of Australian cricket has been dealt a deep blow over the ball-tampering scandal in more ways than one.
However, we witnessed an extremely touching moment when Steve Smith sat down for a presser on his return to Australia and was left in tears.
Warner also reported that in the coming weeks and months he is going to look at how this happened. "It was a failure of my leadership". Smith's tearful appearance in front of media helped trigger the resignation of coach Darren Lehmann and also prompted calls to rein in criticism which has verged on hysterical during an extraordinary week for Australian cricket.
"I made a serious error of judgement and I now understand the consequences".
