Australia calls for reinforcements amid cheating probe
A DEVASTATED Steve Smith has fronted the media at Sydney airport after being sent home from South Africa following the ball tampering scandal during the third Test.
Warner, a divisive figure who was charged with developing the plot and instructing Bancroft to carry it out, also broke his silence to say sorry and admit his actions had been "a stain on the game". Cricket has been my life and I hope it can be again.
"All I can do is ask for forgiveness".
Bancroft confessed to having lied about using sticky tape rather than sandpaper to scuff the ball in Cape Town in the news conference immediately after the incident last Saturday. "I lied. I lied about the sandpaper".
"It's devastating and I'm truly sorry". "I feel like I've let everyone down in Australia and I'm not that proud of that and that it's going to take time for that to heal and to earn that respect back from everybody", he said.
"The thing that breaks my heart is that I have given up my spot in the team for free", he said, holding back tears.
It also questioned why CA's public statements had not referenced contextual factors "including the environment in South Africa during the series" and criticised the rush to put the players before the media without considered and coherent advice. It's so big because the action of doing it is completely wrong.
Sacked vice-captain Warner issued a statement on social media earlier on Thursday before briefly speaking to reporters upon his return to Sydney.

"I'll do everything I can to make up for my mistake and the damage it has caused. I apologize for my part and take responsibility for it", he said. I understand the distress this has caused to the sport and its fans.
"Based on the ball tampering incident and the findings of Cricket Australia's investigation, we are unable to continue our relationship with Steve Smith", Saunders added.
"The disproportionality between the proposed sanctions and those previously handed down in world cricket for "changing the condition of the ball" - including by captains of worldwide teams applying artificial substances".
Lehmann had admitted that their former style of "butting heads on the line" would not stand anymore and that they need to oversee a cultural overhaul in order to save his team's shattered reputation.
Former Australian cricket captain Steve Smith, who has been banned for 12 months by Cricket Australia in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal, broke down during his press conference in which he was addressing the controversy for the first time.
The three suspended players will be replaced by Matthew Renshaw, Glenn Maxwell and Joe Burns for the fourth Test, with Tim Paine appointed captain. Electronics giant LG axed Warner on Wednesday, while Weet-Bix and Commonwealth Bank dumped Smith.
Smith, who has built a reputation of being one of the best modern-day batsmen, once again said that the ball-tampering in Cape Town was a one-off and it had never happened before under his leadership and it won't happen again. However, they have been told to do 100 hours voluntary service in community cricket.
