Cameron Bancroft

Which one of the following on your bike examples, A, B, C, or D, have I made up? A, in 1985, West Indies captain Clive Lloyd sent Viv Richards back to Antigua for quotes, "Letting the good timers roll a little too often while on a tour of England." B, in 2013, Ben Stokes and Matt Coles were sent home from an England Lions tour of Australia for l- a series of late night drinking parties.

C, in 2018, Steve Smith, Cameron Bancroft, and David Warner, those lovable Aussies-

[laughing]

... were sent home from a tour of South Africa for the Sandpapergate scandal.

That's all you're going to do to make your undercoat sick.

Like Cameron Bancroft

with a cricket ball.

Yeah, that's what I'll be doing.

Sandpaper Gate, you know, Steve Smith's the only one that's left in the side.

Warner's retired and Cameron Bancroft's not in the team.

He's still playing domestic cricket.

And they'll give it to Steve Smith.

I have no doubt that some of those players that were involved in MacArthur weren't greedy people.

They would have been young, naive people that sort of maybe did the Cam Bancroft thing.

And yeah, honestly, it's horrific on so many levels.

And so I would hate for the takeaway for anyone listening to be like, Oh, Mr. M, because he agrees with the basis of Labor's reforms, he's therefore pro-gambling.

I mean, it was, you got shattered and you got roughed up a bit, but I was fine to go.

I mean, I've-- Cameron Bancroft missed a Sheffield Shield final last year-

Yeah

... or the two years ago, 'cause he fell off his bike on the way and scratched his face-

He's the one who paid the topless waitresses to come to the hotel.

And it leaves me with this conclusion, that Riley Bye is Sydney's version of Cameron Bancroft.

I know we take the Mickey out of the cricket analogies, but in terms of the uproar after Sandpapergate and what we saw over the last week, Riley Bye was the younger teammate, the single teammate, who was given the responsibility of doing something that has ultimately blown up the club and potentially the careers of four teammates.

You think, you think it's...

What's your suggestion there? That he was, he's been put in the position unfairly?

Yeah, he's not without, he's not without fault like Cameron Bancroft, but I think he's a young player that's been put in a position by older teammates that should know a lot better.

Where do they go now with the five? Like, for Bye and Jordan, as, as role players, to be fair-

Yeah
