I can tolerate Warner..in the way I could put up with Costa. Both narky, both great players. But if Warner is fully implicated in the cheating then he will suffer far more than a diving striker would in football.
Costed added an edge to the game. Diving in football is largly instinctive, but can be premeditated as well. Not acceptable but it does go on and dosen't stop the game in it's tracks. So care has to be taken in Cricket that the Aussie cricket board don't go over the top.
2 year ban from being skipper for Smith and immediate 5 match ban. 50,000 AUD fine. Warner the same. Slightly less for others implicated. That's as far as I would take it...something like that.
