Totally agree mate, it’s as if he was owed his spot in the team and not something he had to continually earn
Self-assured Bancroft continues to grate
could the ICC/ Cricket Australia have been that desperate for some positive press from this incident that they allowed Bancrofts self indulgent and naive thoughts to become a ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ story of hope?
Warner said nothing and got on with the bat…although he never really showed remorse, just kept repeating his rank and badge number
Smith wasn’t that much better than Bancroft though, a Rexona ad set in a group therapy room?

Nice article Ritchie
I think we have been seeing the old guard more recently than ever take a stand against floundering administrations but you have to wonder whether it reads of self interest.
When the initial interview of Mark Viduka was done he was sitting in his cafe in Croatia, Im not sure he was doing it to get his name in the paper, but rather he saw a genuine issue in the game that needed addressing and when a respected former player such as dukes says something people usually listen. And to be honest its a refreshing change from listening to Robbie Slater, Craig Foster and Booze carry on every A-League weekend.
Im not sure about Deano and Cricket Victoria, but it was an entertaining back and forth.
We love seeing out codes do well, but we need to remember that for these codes to do well they need to be a business which is exactly, as you’ve penned, why ex-players with ‘passion’ aren’t going to cut it in the world of high business.
Finally, the ex Wallaby Captains (now 10 and not including the captains on fox sports books) have made wild demands wanting change in the game. But have offered no solutions to improve the game or move forward. Maybe that wasn’t their intention? Maybe it was just to stir the pot and see what happened?
Bitter legends have no right to dictate their codes
