It is clear, as the actual perpetrator of the illegal action, that Bancroft needs to be suspended immediately but as far as I am concerned, a premeditated colluded plan to break rules in such a clandestine manner, by a captain of a national team, should mean immediate expulsion form the captaincy role and a significant suspension as well.
I don't care what other players of other countries have been dealt after such things in the past, in my opinion there is simply no room for premeditated plans to pervert the rules of a game, especially at international level.
My estimation of Steve Smith has dropped to rock bottom, his brilliance in batting at test level means nothing if he has no integrity.
