Steven Smith Cameron Bancroft Ball Tampering Case Australia Media Slam'Rotten Cricket Culture After Sandpaper Gate
Smith and Bancroft fought back tears as they faced the media, with former captain Smith in Sydney and Bancroft in Perth.
Bancroft also asserted that he had not tampered with the ball before.
Bancroft, who has been handed a nine-month suspension, was caught on camera pulling out sand paper to tamper the ball. It quickly emerged the conspiracy was Warner's idea and involved the "leadership group" that included Smith and Bancroft.
Cricket Australia (CA) said they had been suspended from "all worldwide and domestic cricket" while opening batsman Cameron Bancroft was exiled for nine months over the ball-tampering incident during the third Test in South Africa.
The International Cricket Council's (ICC) chief executive Dave Richardson said the review has been launched following "one of the worst periods in recent memory for consistently poor player behaviour and the global outcry in relation to the ball tampering is a clear message to cricket: enough is enough".
"It was a serious failure of my leadership".
"I have made a big mistake for allowing this to happen", said Smith. "If any good can come of this, it can be a lesson to others, and I hope can be a cause for change".
Smith was adamant that the Cape Town incident was the first time Australia had ball-tampered during his tenure. "You will hear from me in a few days".
"I don't blame anyone. I feel like I've let everyone down in Australia", he said. I hope in time I can earn back respect and forgiveness.

Darren Lehmann quits as Australian coach after ball-tampering debacle
Somerset said Bancroft would not join them in the new season, as had been planned, because of his role in the saga. Australian men's cricket head coach Darren Lehmann has resigned in the wake of the ball tampering scandal.
The Australian newspaper said Smith, used to being on a pedestal, had been a tearful wreck since the scandal broke and there were fears that his life might unravel during his exile. I want to make it clear that as the captain of the Australia Cricket team I take full responsibility. "I'm sorry. I'm absolutely devastated".
Bancroft has only played eight tests since replacing Matt Renshaw in the Australian lineup.
"People know that I've worked so hard to be able to get to this point in my career so to know I've given someone else an opportunity for free is devastating for me".
"For Australian cricket it's not acceptable".
"I am extremely disappointed and regret my actions". "I panicked in that situation".
"I don't know how that affects them elsewhere in the world, but I understand that is the nature of the penalty, the sanction as they like to call it".
"I love the game of cricket and playing for my nation and my state there is no greater pride for me".
A subsequent ban from the Indian Premier League (IPL) cost him $1.85 million this season, while sports manufacturer ASICS and technology giant LG have both said they would no longer work with him. However, they have been told to do 100 hours voluntary service in community cricket.
The opening batsman was suspended from worldwide and state cricket for 12 months on Wednesday and banned from ever holding a leadership position in the test team again for his role in the cheating in Cape Town.
