After former skipper Michael Clarke lashed out at CA for their lopsided review of his leadership ban and for making the lefthander a scapegoat in the 2018 sandpaper scandal, Ian Chappell Chappell became the latest person to stand in support of Warner.
Delhi, India:
The legendary Ian Chappell believes that David Warner’s outburst regarding the captain’s ban has exposed the authorities’ “tendencies for back-side protecting.” Cricket Australia has never protected the players’ interests.
Warner withdrew his attempt to overturn his lifetime captaincy ban on Wednesday, claiming that the review panel wanted him to undergo “public lynching” and that he does not want his family to be the “washing machine for cricket’s dirty laundry.”
After former skipper Michael Clarke lashed out at CA for their lopsided review of his leadership ban and for making the lefthander a scapegoat in the 2018 sandpaper scandal, Chappell became the latest person to stand in support of Warner.
Warner made the right choice considering that CA is well-known for only safeguarding its own interests, not those of players. Warner’s revelation of CA’s tendencies for backside protection is good news for young players. They need to remember what’s in store.
After Cameron Bancroft was caught applying sandpaper to the ball during a game in South Africa in 2018, the then-captain of the Australian team, Steve Smith, and Warner, who was his deputy at the time, were both given 12-month suspensions.
The three were each banned from cricket, but they were also suspended from leadership positions.
Smith was barred from leading Australian cricket for a period of two years, whereas Warner was barred for life in that regard. For a period of one year, Bancroft was barred from captaincy.
Chappell remarked that Smith’s “crime was greater” and that Warner and Smith ought to have received the “same leadership punishment after the Cape Town incident.”
“Cheating is indefensible as well as being indefensible.”
He needed to put an immediate stop to any heists, even if their motivation was illegal.
Warner’s crime was less severe than Smith’s. Therefore, it was not surprising that Warner was outraged by his severe initial punishment when compared to how others were treated. The former captain of Australia criticized the authorities’ handling of the situation.
Warner chose the right target, so it’s no wonder he had a full stomach. Warner, 36, is still under the leadership ban four years after the infamous Cape Town Test, but Smith is back in charge of the team in the day-night second Test against the West Indies because of an injury.
It’s a shame because he would have been the best person to help younger players get started in cricket. CA need not be concerned because he will continue to be a leader and will be listened to by any cricketer who wishes to advance.
” Warner may have been “disliked” by a CA administrator, according to Chappell, because he spoke out against the administration in their pay dispute.
Warner will not be bullied, that much is clear.” Chappell wrote, “urging Warner to write a tell-all book.” He will speak up, and the book will be worth reading if he does reveal everything later. His book may require some effort to publish because if it does, there will be a lot of angry faces. ATK ATK ATK PTI TAP TAP
