respek ma authoritah It's just a black mark on cricket and its history, especially for Australia. Sponsors are opting out, the team is capitulated, Australia's reputation will take an eternity to heal, its just a bad situation for all.
No it won't take long to heal we are tougher than that here. Smithy will be back he has been over punished and made an example of. He is not a criminal and as a man I was kicked up the arse when I was young and learned from everyone of them. Smithy was brave and faced the music. We respect that as well and what many expect is a better man to emerge from this. A better character and hopefully a better player. That what I expect from a young man not defeat. He must show high standards from here on in.
No Keegan, the thing is board will examine if any match fixing is involved, if this was been instigated by some crooked interested party, etc. That is the reason why incidents such as these will be examined and root cause analysis done. We live in extremely corrupt times, hence the hullabaloo across the world. Thank god, the match fixing angle is not there and to quote Steve himself "another brain fade" I guess on his part.
As an Englishman, a former umpire and a cricket fanatic I love to see the Australian team get a spanking on the pitch when playing England, but the three lads involved broke the rules and should be punished, but this is too harsh, I agree they should have been sent home from the series and Warner and Smith should have lost their captaincy roles for at least 12 months but to ban them from playing for a year is too much, we all make mistakes in life, what has been lost is 3 great players will not be entertaining the cricket world. His apology is clearly honest and heartfelt, it is never good to see a grown man so upset
Problem is with Aussie culture that still treats grown men as children. I live in Australia and here millennial can get away with murder. Maybe Australia is too much concerned with it precious depleting commodity of youngster's and thus make them spoilt brats.
I actually think CA has been quite canny with the 12 month ban, because while sounding like a huge punishment, they would not have been playing that much cricket in the next year anyway; a 6 month ban 6 months ago would have hit them harder.
aussies have been cheating for years... he was brought up in this environment. but tech has advnaced immensely, and he has been caught. this is not too much. they have to make an example to discourage further players from doing the same. yes i feel sympathy for hte individual, but that is tempered by the fact that he should know better as captain, and that is unlikely to be a one of.
ohh man.. this is so hard to watch.. not a huge fan of the current aussie side but cant see a broken men alongside his father.. hope he comes back strongly and re-gain the respect that he lost..
Why not a fan of Australia? Australia has always been fair clean players. This is an anomaly and in no way an indication of past stpoetsmanship by the Australians in all sports around the world. They are probably the cleanest players anywhere in the world and I come from Sth Africa. They have an excellent track record. I guess it’s this has Ben taken to badly in Australia. I feel so sorry for them, this is really painful to watch no doubt at all. And people, everyone makes mistakes. I’m not so sure Steve Smith was really involved in this, I think as captain he’s been man enough to take the fall.
Ishan Dr not really buddy.. he lost all the respect, all the brands contrects , lost his job, bullied by media and fans and most importantly he cant play the game which he loved for a year.. he is certainly not faking it
He is no doubt feeling very shameful for his acts. Accepting this needs guts ! I think he should be given a chance to earn his respect back. But the punishment must stand ! As it shouldn’t be repeated by others ! Much power to you brother ! You will surely come back strong ! 💪🏻 Love from INDIA !
I think that’s his father standing next to him. Imagine what he must be going through to see his son get embarrassed on national TV. Enough is enough let these guys live now.
As a South African, this is very hard to watch. Myself, and most other South Africans respect Steve a lot. He's an amazing cricketer and a great guy. Everyone makes mistakes and it's difficult to see him having to deal with his. I'm sure many South Africans will agree with me when I say that I look forward to the day we get to see him again on the cricket pitch. Can't promise we'll feel the same way about Warner though, SA fans don't view him in a good light at the moment haha.
Blake Brody don't feel sorry for him. He has had many brain fade moments. For some, one such instance is enough. But not for Smith... Warner also deserved it big time. I do feel sad for Bancroft. Poor guy..
How about God of cricket tampered the ball? First look up our asses and then make a fun of others! It shows your cheep mentality! Mr. Smith has not lied like our God of Cricket was saying removing mud! Even though he allowed it and confessed it and not like our hero's hiding the things. Need guts to tell in front of the world!

I forgive him and wish him the best for when and if he comes back to cricket.

But I must admit that when other countries punish the guilty maybe sometimes too strictly I feel ashamed of my country ( India ) where people who have money and power can commit any crime and get away with it ! I hope we see a more equitable and just world and people live morally and especially in my country and hope Smith comes back strong and a changed person !
It is painful to watch but thanks to Australian Cricket Board they proved Play is greater than Player. God forgive him and Smith will back in the field again.
It takes courage to accept the mistakes. I don't know what people see but every time I watch it I see a great leader, a true sportsman, a great son, a true friend and a gentleman. It was easy for him to blame Warner for everything or whoever is responsible but being a Captain he held himself responsible for all. It takes huge courage man. I respect u.
Ishan Dr yes why didn't he say sorry and cry on Saturday conference.at that time he was not in a mood to give up captaincy.now when everything is taken crying like a baby
Vishma Shah Harbhajan to this day doesn't accept his mistake. If he were in Steve Smith's place, I don't think he would ever confess to pre planning the tampering incident in the dressing room with his mates. It takes a lot of courage and honesty to divulge self incriminating knowledge knowing that it will be used against you in the future.
Kishore Yadav he does not deserves one year ban 'He could never be captain of australia again and a 6-9 month ban ' Would be rather good punishment Apoligy is most important thing Lehman also deserves ban whatever southerland says but lehman was also included in that Warner was main mastermind he deserves 12 month ban
There is only one way out for smith to earn his respect... Come back to cricketing field and score big hundreds... Test cricket will be missing Steven Smith the batsman...
i know he did a mistake, but i still feel sorry for him, he is one of the greatest batsman ever.I hope he will bounce back more stronger than ever. #India
Benjamin Mathew if you do mistakes, you're going to face consequences. I'm not a big fan of him, but trust me it's really not good to see this. I'm kinda sad to see him in this kind of situation. Breaks me down a bit. Hopefully he will come back as a better sportsman. Good luck
This guy is down and out. He has admitted his mistake and takes full responsibility - very few are able to do it rightly. We should allow him to reconcile himself with reality and make amends for himself for future. Hopefully he will come out of this stronger and once again gets opportunity to represent his nation in his game. This will be a blot on his career probably which he can never wash away. In future, hopefully if he will make a comeback, there will still be some people who will hold this against him in his moment of glory. But he should not allow that to affect him. As they say - People who hold your past failures against you, are afraid of your successful present. Let's give this guy a break.
And let us suppose, if he would have never got caught, do you really think he is angel enough to admit that he has cheated ?. We all are human and every body is going to feel sad after looking at this but I feel that the punishment and it's severity, both are justified. I believe he would come back stronger and a better player after this and I am happy that he understood that how cheating can kill this precious game called as Cricket.
Give him a break!!!!!! He has not murdered anyone for god sake. Ball tampering has been done by various countries and many "legends" a lot of times. Its so bad all the media and all the world is behind him. Have you not ever made mistakes??? Have you not ever cheated? You learn. Why are you so harsh on him???? Why do you want to destroy a young spectacular career, media??? 😢😢
fuknwastd so why not just take away his captaincy?? Why this name and shame process?? Why such a harsh ban. Even ICC has given him 2 demerit points... this is being a media trial, nothing more.
shivam gusain Haha here Sreesanth who is cleared of all his charges before the law is banned for life, you should not feel pity for him just because he is an Australian.
shivam gusain it's none of our business brother. It's decision of his own Cricket board. I'm not a big fan of him, but trust me it's really not good to see this. I'm kinda sad to see him in this kind of situation. Breaks me down a bit Hopefully he will come back as a better sportsman. Good luck
@shivam.... really .. what if instead of south africa he was playing against India..... you would swear him unstoppable....... i think he is sorry as well as this was too dramatic to get sympathy from people and he is getting no doubt.. but what he did was stupis and consequences comes at price.. no matter who you are and how great you play.
Today I really respect him for what he did by taking full responsibility himself...He doesn't Deserve this...He doesn't Deserve to be treated like this for such small mistake...This is really saddening...
@@sundaysunday2343 Smith was not much involved just warner and bancroft started it and Smith saw but did not bother and letted them keep doing that ball tampering
With respect Smith is better than Warner. At least he is not hiding his crime. It is very difficult to accept your mistake in front of the whole world.
Richard Thornton, agreed mate, Steroids, misconduct with umpire, assault/misbehaving with a spectator, etc are far worse. Ball tampering is the least likely of them to be considered a crime
Richard Thornton One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.[1][4] Wikipedia definition
@@dafyddcoleman4413lol imagine making such a big deal over scratching the ball. Smiths biggest mistake was being born in Australia. His own country betrayed him especially when ICC offered a lower punishment for him. Any other country would’ve treated him better
As a South African, hats off to you! You're taking it full-on! Unlike David Warner and, especially, Darren Lehman. Personally, I think it is a good thing that this happened, 'cause you and the team were getting pretty arrogant, cocky and overly confident! This will bring you down to earth and will hopefully not impact your cricketing ability too much! You're a crazy talented batsman and I truly hope that you can bounce back! Cricket lovers and players want the best to succeed! You look like a decent bloke and I am confident that this was just an error in judgement. It happens! Learn from it! Others, including the Proteas, take note! Keep your head up! Take a breather! ...And come back better! Everyone loves a good comeback story!
Justin Gonsalves yeah, was announced after I wrote the above. Still of the opinion that he knew and that he’s not completely owning up. Watched the announcement earlier, cannot be easy, but the current team culture was instilled under his watch. Mixed feelings though, think he’s a quality coach.
Smithyy we got ur back Atleast u have guts to face the camera and accept and apologies for Ur mistake Hope to see u on the field ASAP 💝💝 Cricket Australia forgive them 1year ban is harsh 1 mistake and u thrown them out of proportion Smithyy we love you Warner u deserve this
I’m English and whether you think ball tampering is not a big deal or not, it’s still cheating, and that’s just not cricket. However, we are all human and we all make mistakes. To see poor smith crying like this over a bit of ball rubbing is hard to watch. The lad is truly sorry, I hope the media gives him some privacy, same hopefully for Warner and Bancroft. Keep your heads down lads and I hope I see you back playing the game you love sooner rather than later
I have analysed both the press meetings, this one and the other just after the tampering. There is a difference the way Steve used the word "Leadership" . after this press meet....I feel he is made a scapegoat !!! I hope all gets sorted out soon and the boys get back to the ground !! I can only wish luck to all the of them. Will miss David Warner in the IPL this year. What a player for Sun-risers Hyderabad !!
Very well said James- initially when they got caught even I was outraged. I think the Aussies winning a lot & also being a bit unsavory have led people to be very hateful them. Let's be clear they have brought it upon themselves a bit but now is the time to be human beings & fans of the game. Hope the 3 players are forgiven after they served their ban & hope they can get back to doing what they all love- playing Cricket.
He has done a lot not only for Australian cricket team but more for the world cricket. He has a devoted fan base in India although being an opponent. Our high regards and respect haven't reduced by a bit in spite of this controversy. We want him back in the playing Aussie squad ASAP. We want him in WC2019. An ardent Indian Stevie fan.
He's obviously jet lagged to... probably the toughest press conference in Australian sporting history... Chin up Steve, can't wait to see you back in the baggy green.
Who came here after Steve Smith outstanding performance in Ashes 2019..@We love you Smith.. Winners are not those who never make mistakes but those who admit ,apologise ,learn and grow from their mistakes ... Stay blessed
i disagree mate, u have to take some serious action so this sets an example for the future cricketers to never even think about cheating, had it been a one match ban, no-one would understand how serious is the mistake he had committed. Tampering of the ball has happened before, but it was the first time some player premeditated it, they knew that the quality of the bowl would worsen, so they brought sand paper with themselves, previous issues of bowl tampering were never thought out or basically planned.
Eros hey are you seriously a idiot the guy did a level two offence meaning the maximum ban should have been for 3 months and to guy that compares match fixing and tampering seriously bro are you from Pakistan I mean match fixing is you selling off it nation for money this is no where close to that
Not just the media, Australians are disgusted by this team. Deserves every day of it. Let down his nation, cricket and himself. He can come back once he's done his time.
Smith my bro..u have always been my favourite...Making mistakes make u learn for future....Your fans still love u!! U r good lad...Regret,but don't cry!!
Hope in time I earn back some respect....in ashes 2019 Smith 774 runs....earn back respect crowd bood but Smith did not stop....Smith u legend....u earn back respect....
Hats off to Steve Smith's dad. It can't have been easy for him to see the son that he is so proud of having to hang his head in shame. But he stood right there behind him. That's true parental love.
@@kpverma2175 No it isnt, have a look at the ICC rules handbooks on their website. Just like bowlers are allowed to scuff footmarks to allow them to get better grip, pretty much all players are allowed to alter anything behind the crease line. Its not recommended, and its bad sportsmanship, thats why no one does it, but theres nothing saying you cant do it.
I respect him and the other players for accepting their mistake even more than I did before everyone does mistakes and deserve a second chance good luck
I am an INDIAN and big fan of Cricket, I see Steven Smith, Warner etc as the biggest competitor to Team INDIA....what I understand is that Smith should have been Ban for only a month....it's *disgusting* to see him Ban for a year....Pathetic.... *he has not Fixed any match* (and I am not carried away bcoz of his tears, I genuinely feel so)
As a cricket fan I feel that his urge to win the match for his country unfortunately took the wrong turn.He has made a huge mistake but as a human being I think we all make mistakes and he deserves to be forgiven.

I hope we see a more equitable and just world and people live morally and especially in my country and hope Smith comes back strong and a changed person !
Example must be made, He has broken the spirit of the game which he and we all love... Its a well made decision.
Reminds me of how terrible Hansie Cronje was treated. Wasn't he banned for life.
Who did he murder?
walker8476 The dreams of young cricketers who looked up to him?
I didn't know you could murder a dream
Slice of Pepperoni that reply deserves an award, sir.
He will come back strongly for the world cup
walker8476 what do you mean '' who did he murder"?
Who is here after he cheated again today?
Present
Helloooo
He is best player then also he did this. Why? He himself degrading his good image.😥
@@snehaa4494 right
@@snehaa4494 cheating is one of his basic instincts.. It comes out from him
Bro someone is crying and cameraman is like firing continously on him snapshots
It is painful to watch but thanks to Australian Cricket Board they proved Play is greater than Player. God forgive him and Smith will back in the field again.
He's back indeed!
As an Indian,I love him more now.
Comeback with a bang boy.
Why ? Coz he shed some tears ?
abdul rahiman coz he's the best test batsman there is at the moment
It takes courage to accept the mistakes. I don't know what people see but every time I watch it I see a great leader, a true sportsman, a great son, a true friend and a gentleman. It was easy for him to blame Warner for everything or whoever is responsible but being a Captain he held himself responsible for all. It takes huge courage man.
I respect u.
Hello everyone who raised voice for smith
it's time to reconsider what u said before
Steve Smith Will Come back even stronger✌ We are with u Steve💗 Love From India💞💖💟
S S damn that was a good comment
flyvon fernandes Aussies r disgrace to the game after Pakistan
S S First win the 4th test against SA man. Then talk about the future 😂😂
flyvon fernandes r u nut.Crocodile tears.....
Be ware.
Ishan Dr yes why didn't he say sorry and cry on Saturday conference.at that time he was not in a mood to give up captaincy.now when everything is taken crying like a baby
David Warner is the ring leader...not steve.. ask that grub a few questions....Lehman dodged a bullet for sure...
ray ray he is the captain and therefore bears the responsibility
ray ray I
Mann who is here after ashes,what a comeback,what a strong mind🙌
Who is here after two century by smith in two odi against india 😘😘
At least he accepted his mistake... Lots of respect for him
100 percent
Vishma Shah very good our thinking is same.
he have to... bcs everything is captured and witnessed
Vishma Shah
Harbhajan to this day doesn't accept his mistake.
If he were in Steve Smith's place, I don't think he would ever confess to pre planning the tampering incident in the dressing room with his mates.
It takes a lot of courage and honesty to divulge self incriminating knowledge knowing that it will be used against you in the future.
Vishma Shah exactly.. That's why i feel the 1 year ban is too harsh..
want him in IPL... everyone makes mistake😢😢
Aditya Singh 😂😂
Mistake is something that happens accidentally and not planned! He deserves the year ban !
I'm glad that IPL also banned him. Or else everyone would've called IPL as WWE 2.0
Kishore Yadav he does not deserves one year ban
'He could never be captain of australia again and a 6-9 month ban '
Would be rather good punishment
Apoligy is most important thing
Lehman also deserves ban whatever southerland says but lehman was also included in that
Warner was main mastermind he deserves 12 month ban
It’s like u never make a mistake
There is only one way out for smith to earn his respect...
Come back to cricketing field and score big hundreds...
Test cricket will be missing Steven Smith the batsman...
And he did it
@@sujalking7018 bro still 4 tests remaining let's see how many more he gets he already got too
144,142,211,92 what else you want
Ashish Tiwari a double
Done
Who's here after the trailer for the sequel?
*Banning Smith for 1 year is biggest loss to CA but indeed a brave decision by the board....I hope Smith comes back more stronger after the ban*
he wont be playing for Australia again
For an year only he will play after an year
Ban must be only for 3 months atmost. Cricket fans must be given opportunity to see best batsman and he is the best batsman today
I hope he will come back stronger and better.
Priyanshu Tripathi they wont pick him again
i know he did a mistake, but i still feel sorry for him, he is one of the greatest batsman ever.I hope he will bounce back more stronger than ever. #India
Best batsman in the world.. averaging a cool 134 so far this ashes
Compare him with Srilankan captain Dinesh Chandimal and his ball-tampering saga.
and Compare their punishments.
I'm Indian and I'm no Aussie fan, but this is just crushing.. he doesn't deserve this.. everyone makes mistakes.. he's not a criminal..
Benjamin Mathew if you do mistakes, you're going to face consequences. I'm not a big fan of him, but trust me it's really not good to see this. I'm kinda sad to see him in this kind of situation. Breaks me down a bit. Hopefully he will come back as a better sportsman. Good luck
Only because ball tampering is common place in India. In more civilized nations it isn't
atmospheric Slideshow dont be stupid fuckwit
atmospheric Slideshow only thing is it was pre-planned tampering using an external object
I agree
This guy is down and out. He has admitted his mistake and takes full responsibility - very few are able to do it rightly. We should allow him to reconcile himself with reality and make amends for himself for future. Hopefully he will come out of this stronger and once again gets opportunity to represent his nation in his game. This will be a blot on his career probably which he can never wash away. In future, hopefully if he will make a comeback, there will still be some people who will hold this against him in his moment of glory. But he should not allow that to affect him. As they say - People who hold your past failures against you, are afraid of your successful present. Let's give this guy a break.
And let us suppose, if he would have never got caught, do you really think he is angel enough to admit that he has cheated ?. We all are human and every body is going to feel sad after looking at this but I feel that the punishment and it's severity, both are justified. I believe he would come back stronger and a better player after this and I am happy that he understood that how cheating can kill this precious game called as Cricket.
Nope
pugazh09 completely agree with u. Haven't seen any one from India confessing like this. It may never happen in future too.
pugazh09 lol..only in India..😂😂
Sridhar R 😂😂..thts true
Just came here to see this video after watching India VS Australia test match 3 day 5 (11/01/2021) ..
Who are here after Rishab pant batting crease rubbing issue 😂
Give him a break!!!!!! He has not murdered anyone for god sake. Ball tampering has been done by various countries and many "legends" a lot of times. Its so bad all the media and all the world is behind him. Have you not ever made mistakes??? Have you not ever cheated? You learn. Why are you so harsh on him???? Why do you want to destroy a young spectacular career, media??? 😢😢
Perhaps Steve is the only person man enough to acknowledge and accept responsibility. Time will tell. Respect this courage and a great bat these days.
chutiye..
Vinay Dwivedi jaisa b hu tera baap hu..
fuknwastd so why not just take away his captaincy?? Why this name and shame process?? Why such a harsh ban. Even ICC has given him 2 demerit points... this is being a media trial, nothing more.
they killed sprit of cricket but chutiya like u always support ...pata n indians ko kyu itni dikkat ho rhi hai..
I am a Indian & Cricket lover, I feel sad for Smith he is really feeling devastated for what happened, Love from India
Who is here after Smith scored one century again India in India Vs Australia 1 Odi 🙋
Did u say 2?
Who are all here after watching Smith 200 in ashes and now he become NO 1 again 2019 that's the kind of talent he is
Very Emotional and sad. Be strong smith. Love from indian.
umesh T Total rubbish. He's consumed by manipulative self-pity.
umesh T
From Australia too

How dare you tell this
Who r u😬
Was excited for ipl this year but he is not playing😟
RUb A, It was unfortunate! There might be a chance of getting pressure from the Australian cricket board for the BCCI.
As an Indian I feel for him. 12 months banned is too harsh. Cricket Australia made a terrible mistake to handle this situation.
I feel ICC should consider Ball Tampering as "cheating" and they themselves should ban players for 1 year or more.
shivam gusain Haha here Sreesanth who is cleared of all his charges before the law is banned for life, you should not feel pity for him just because he is an Australian.
+Emmanuel Joy There is a big big big difference between ball tampering & Match fixing..
shivam gusain it's none of our business brother. It's decision of his own Cricket board. I'm not a big fan of him, but trust me it's really not good to see this. I'm kinda sad to see him in this kind of situation. Breaks me down a bit Hopefully he will come back as a better sportsman. Good luck
@shivam.... really .. what if instead of south africa he was playing against India..... you would swear him unstoppable....... i think he is sorry as well as this was too dramatic to get sympathy from people and he is getting no doubt.. but what he did was stupis and consequences comes at price.. no matter who you are and how great you play.
When a man cries you know it has seriously hurt him .Glad he made a great comeback 👍🏽
Here in 2022 December 8 Steve Smith is still banging runs like machine
Today I really respect him for what he did by taking full responsibility himself...He doesn't Deserve this...He doesn't Deserve to be treated like this for such small mistake...This is really saddening...
@@sundaysunday2343 dude , Cameron Bancroft did it not him
@@sundaysunday2343 it wasnt smith who used the sandpaper. Yet he took all the responsibility even though there are others involved.
@@sundaysunday2343 Smith was not much involved just warner and bancroft started it and Smith saw but did not bother and letted them keep doing that ball tampering
With respect Smith is better than Warner. At least he is not hiding his crime. It is very difficult to accept your mistake in front of the whole world.
totally agree. warner is a coward
No one has committed any 'crime'
Dragon Rage lollll wut. don't be a word nazi, 'crime' 'bad act' Ball tampering is illegal, Illegal acts are a crime. Wut drugs u on?
Richard Thornton, agreed mate, Steroids, misconduct with umpire, assault/misbehaving with a spectator, etc are far worse. Ball tampering is the least likely of them to be considered a crime
Richard Thornton One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.[1][4]
Wikipedia definition
Who came here after his 144 against England.
me
Poor guy. We all make mistakes. Forgiven and forgotten. An incredible player. And that’s coming from a Pom!
It wasn't a mistake it was cheating 🤣 shouldn't have been allowed to play competitive cricket again
@@dafyddcoleman4413lol imagine making such a big deal over scratching the ball. Smiths biggest mistake was being born in Australia. His own country betrayed him especially when ICC offered a lower punishment for him. Any other country would’ve treated him better
As a South African, hats off to you! You're taking it full-on! Unlike David Warner and, especially, Darren Lehman. Personally, I think it is a good thing that this happened, 'cause you and the team were getting pretty arrogant, cocky and overly confident! This will bring you down to earth and will hopefully not impact your cricketing ability too much! You're a crazy talented batsman and I truly hope that you can bounce back! Cricket lovers and players want the best to succeed! You look like a decent bloke and I am confident that this was just an error in judgement. It happens! Learn from it! Others, including the Proteas, take note! Keep your head up! Take a breather! ...And come back better! Everyone loves a good comeback story!
Lehman will step down after 4th test
well said mate!!
Justin Gonsalves yeah, was announced after I wrote the above. Still of the opinion that he knew and that he’s not completely owning up. Watched the announcement earlier, cannot be easy, but the current team culture was instilled under his watch. Mixed feelings though, think he’s a quality coach.
Smithyy we got ur back
Atleast u have guts to face the camera and accept and apologies for Ur mistake
Hope to see u on the field ASAP 💝💝
Cricket Australia forgive them
1year ban is harsh
1 mistake and u thrown them out of proportion
Smithyy we love you
Warner u deserve this
Some people never change...
Miss u in RajasthanRoyals. #Jaipur #IPL
Hopefully you will come back stronger in next season of IPL.
He came
he came bro mumbai vs rr
I’m English and whether you think ball tampering is not a big deal or not, it’s still cheating, and that’s just not cricket.
However, we are all human and we all make mistakes. To see poor smith crying like this over a bit of ball rubbing is hard to watch. The lad is truly sorry, I hope the media gives him some privacy, same hopefully for Warner and Bancroft. Keep your heads down lads and I hope I see you back playing the game you love sooner rather than later
fuknwastd yeah I agree mate it’s not good, but again humans make mistakes. Smith is truly sorry, he’s been lynched and I just think that’s unfair
I have analysed both the press meetings, this one and the other just after the tampering. There is a difference the way Steve used the word "Leadership" . after this press meet....I feel he is made a scapegoat !!! I hope all gets sorted out soon and the boys get back to the ground !! I can only wish luck to all the of them. Will miss David Warner in the IPL this year. What a player for Sun-risers Hyderabad !!
Very well said James- initially when they got caught even I was outraged. I think the Aussies winning a lot & also being a bit unsavory have led people to be very hateful them. Let's be clear they have brought it upon themselves a bit but now is the time to be human beings & fans of the game. Hope the 3 players are forgiven after they served their ban & hope they can get back to doing what they all love- playing Cricket.
yogesh bhojwani well said mate 👍🏻
Jameel Sadath 👍🏻
He is feeling really guilty plz forgive him
CricoPedia No.
moorechamp moore why?
Nicholas Pratt why no mate
CricoPedia acting
They were *caught* red-handedly. If they weren't caught, Warner & Smith would've been sledging South Africans. 😠
don't fell Smith you was world best batsman and again you was rr
captain I am happy
He has done a lot not only for Australian cricket team but more for the world cricket. He has a devoted fan base in India although being an opponent. Our high regards and respect haven't reduced by a bit in spite of this controversy. We want him back in the playing Aussie squad ASAP. We want him in WC2019.
An ardent Indian Stevie fan.
He is feeling very guilty and apologized. Please forgive him. He is an amazing and one of the best cricketers in the world. Please forgive him! 🙏
yes please forgive everyone,.....thats too harsh on this lad
yes u r right
Ashish sharma hes notty
Ashish sharma Well said bro. He is really upset that he done a big mistake.
Cry Me A River
He's obviously jet lagged to... probably the toughest press conference in Australian sporting history... Chin up Steve, can't wait to see you back in the baggy green.
Who came here after Steve Smith outstanding performance in Ashes 2019..@We love you Smith.. Winners are not those who never make mistakes but those who admit ,apologise ,learn and grow from their mistakes ... Stay blessed
Nature is Peace he didn’t admit to anything he got CAUGHT RED HANDED
So thats how australia won 5 world cups.
Go play some fortnite for the year and start streaming on twitch

Good idea

Western Gents United Nice one
Media is treating him like a match fixer. 1 year ban is too harsh
Abhishek Singh sahi kaha
yes bro
i disagree mate, u have to take some serious action so this sets an example for the future cricketers to never even think about cheating, had it been a one match ban, no-one would understand how serious is the mistake he had committed. Tampering of the ball has happened before, but it was the first time some player premeditated it, they knew that the quality of the bowl would worsen, so they brought sand paper with themselves, previous issues of bowl tampering were never thought out or basically planned.
Eros hey are you seriously a idiot the guy did a level two offence meaning the maximum ban should have been for 3 months and to guy that compares match fixing and tampering seriously bro are you from Pakistan I mean match fixing is you selling off it nation for money this is no where close to that
Not just the media, Australians are disgusted by this team. Deserves every day of it. Let down his nation, cricket and himself. He can come back once he's done his time.
Don't cry you were,you are and you will a legend i love you Love from India 🇮🇳
I cried too . You are a lion bro
Nah I think he's a human
A cheater
@@mohitkarki7185 lol from which country you are?
Good people always get fooled by bad people and receive more punishment
Pini explain how he was a good ppl in this whole situation?
He's not a criminal for god sake cut him some slack. Cut some match fees , strip him off the captaincy but atleast let him play.
Aww... So cute
It takes guts and extreme courage to do what you did Steve, a lot of respect and love to you from India 🇮🇳
Currently My favourite batsman in the world, 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 love you Steve
Smith my bro..u have always been my favourite...Making mistakes make u learn for future....Your fans still love u!! U r good lad...Regret,but don't cry!!
This is not only yours but cricket's loss. Public memory is short.We know you are a good man at heart and will bounce back.
You have earned back the respect of all the cricket fans around the world. A living legend
Hope in time I earn back some respect....in ashes 2019 Smith 774 runs....earn back respect crowd bood but Smith did not stop....Smith u legend....u earn back respect....
Hats off to Steve Smith's dad. It can't have been easy for him to see the son that he is so proud of having to hang his head in shame. But he stood right there behind him. That's true parental love.
Yeah bro
Love u Smith.. U r a fantastic plyer.. Mistakes r made by humans... Do not break down.. Good day will come very soon in your life..
yes!
Who is here after Smith cheating in 3rd Test vs India at SCG?
Me
Go and check middle stump cricket post in FB/insta where full phootage is given and he found not guilty
Once a cheater always a cheater
Come on that was not cheating
And Rohit did it in the 4th test...
who is here after his new leg guard tampering cheating . once a cheater is always a cheater
@@mehdiahsan4042 it is clearly written that if you are not batting you cannot scruff the crease
@@kpverma2175 No it isnt, have a look at the ICC rules handbooks on their website. Just like bowlers are allowed to scuff footmarks to allow them to get better grip, pretty much all players are allowed to alter anything behind the crease line. Its not recommended, and its bad sportsmanship, thats why no one does it, but theres nothing saying you cant do it.
@@mehdiahsan4042 It may not written in ICC book rules here Question is what is Smith intention
Ad official you are great. A cheater is always a cheater.
We are with u Champ , love frm India🇮🇳
I respect him and the other players for accepting their mistake even more than I did before everyone does mistakes and deserve a second chance good luck
asmi jain they accepted it cause they got caught
Anyone here after Steve's Smith controversy on rubbing the guard line🤣🤣
A perfect fraud.. Never learn 🤬
I am an INDIAN and big fan of Cricket, I see Steven Smith, Warner etc as the biggest competitor to Team INDIA....what I understand is that Smith should have been Ban for only a month....it's *disgusting* to see him Ban for a year....Pathetic.... *he has not Fixed any match* (and I am not carried away bcoz of his tears, I genuinely feel so)
As a cricket fan I feel that his urge to win the match for his country unfortunately took the wrong turn.He has made a huge mistake but as a human being I think we all make mistakes and he deserves to be forgiven.
yes!
Yes , atleast he has not sold his country for few bucks like Amir did, he wanted to win the game for his country.
Once a cheater always a cheater
The wait is over smithy
We all are waiting for your comeback
