They can't take any action against Lehman at this stage as they have no actual evidence that he was involved and Lehman denies being involved.
The problem for Lehman is that if he is speaking with folk tongue then it will come out, and he will be crucified. The journalist will be banging into all their contacts within the Aussie set up, just think of all the back up team like medical staff and analyst who are in and out of the dressing room during the days play, somebody will crack if there is a story to tell or if someone dislikes Lehman.

No your right but what is the line? do they say no sweets on the field? No sugary drinks at the break?
Just for Australia (and possibly Australian domestic cricket) because that's all that Cricket Australia control - if the ICC get involved then it could include worldwide bans but as for now it's only CA, they can only legally stop those individuals from playing for and in Australia.
Similar with Stokes and the ECB.

Or they offer enough money for a mole to speak up
National governing body approval would be required as well. ECB approved Stokes going to NZ
Yes, but they probably wouldn't want the legal shitstorm if they stopped those players from trying to earn a wage elsewhere - again, a la Stokes and the ECB's granting of his Canterbury trip.
Quite, as highlighted above

Who would want to touch them though? 12 month for cheating? Wouldnt sit well with me if Beefy pulled out the cheque book for any of themYes, but they probably wouldn't want the legal shitstorm if they stopped those players from trying to earn a wage elsewhere - again, a la Stokes and the ECB's granting of his Canterbury trip.

Warner loved his time at Durham, was desperate to play championship cricket.Expect he'll sign for Surrey in the next week or so to play all formats for this season...... Would you have him @TheRey

Bans seem to include State cricket aswell according to some journos.
It's a very grey area, as admitted by Vaughan on the TMS Podcast - but things like chewing gum, sweets, lip creams etc can't really be outlawed and so it's generally accepted they're part of the game (Du Plessis being the obvious exception down to the witch hunt by the holier than thou Aussies). Intentionally taking an item onto the field such as abrasive tape in order to alter the condition of the ball is quite a clear distinction to the above however. In my opinion.
I suppose so, relatively, but this seems worse to me on several levels.
Yes I suppose it has been hypocritical in some parts, I think Dan Roan haranguing the Australian team in the airport is appalling for example, although I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about. Overall though I’m surprised our media hasn’t gone after them more savagely
in some parts too.
I too didn’t expect the Australian public and media to be so outraged, but I think the outrage in general not being joined up reflects the muddled nature of the whole affair. There are so many unanswered questions and unclear aspects to it all. It is fascinating.

I bet they wouldn't have got 12 month bans if it was an Ashes summer over here.

You'd think so, but this is Australia. Maybe they each had their own ball, hidden up their own arseholes.
On the contrary, it wouldn't surprise me if both of them put themselves up for it as soon as they can - they're both shithouses of the highest order.

Something tells me this is the end of warner,he’s obviously not well liked in the team and is a complete helmet to all others who speak of him. A revolt against his selection in future may be plausible. The little bell whiff

Bancroft has been very lucky
He actually DID the CHEATING
AND he then deviously hid and lied to the umpire
He's 25 not 5
He should cop a lifer
