He needs a media manager ...

WHO THE HELL CARES

I think his judgement can only been seen as flawed - too often. The tampering saga, this Ad. Both poor decisions in my opninion. He should have stayed out of the limelight. Especially now as the Aus team start to turn around under a new courageous leader.

Just stay quiet and do the time ffs

No style, no class, no manners

Really disappointing, again.

I'd give him another year off just for the ad. Awful beyond belief

Shouldnt be forgiven,

I’d be sacking whom ever gave him advice to do that ad .. better to sit down and do a genuine interview with a credible interviewer

The new soft sell back into mainstream cricket. Should never be captain again though.

More crap from SMH

stevesmith Still looks like Kermit, except Kermit is more relevant ...

smh your caption for one of the articles photographs is 'rolls his arm over'. Does this mean bowls? itscurtainsfordraper acb stevesmith

Orchestrated & Choreographed.. Magic of Contrite fuelled by Vodafone .. Fair Go for All in an ideal world 🙈🙉🙈🙉 stevesmith

I’m starting to despise cricketers. There has always been a wanker element (see Warne, Michael Clark et al) but now it seems to pervade amostl ALL of them.

Steve Smith banned from playing in BPLBut fellow ball-tamperer welcomed with open arms how is warner allowed to play still? double standards Click bait headline, the real reason he can't play in the BPL is because the team he was going to play for hadn't registered him before the cut off deadline, not because of his suspension by CA, read the article not the just the headline

Watch: Banned Australian cricket captain Steve Smith speaks after nine month hiatus, Sandpapergate, ball tampering'It's been tough': Steve Smith admits it's been 'hard watching' the Australian men's cricket team from the sidelines. Follow his live press conference: Should have been banned for life. He might get the opportunity to play for his country again as much as we all don’t want it, but I seriously hope he’s never captain, he’s not strong enough mentally to control a team. Current Aussie team and new coach are doing a great job, Your a GUN Steve, hope your back soon

Wrong number: Steve Smith ad a bad callBy speaking out in a paid ad, Steve Smith has set back his campaign to rehabilitate his name before his return to cricket. SMHsport He was the captain. It was his decision. He stuffed up. Paid ad? He should pay them. It was an insult to the intelligence, the sandpaper incident; they all play with their nethers, but this was serious re-adjustment, almost surgery. SMHsport WTF is wrong with him? SMHsport It’s not proceeds of a crime or profiting from crime. He did not commit a crime. Lighten up and leave the bloke alone.

Steve Smith opens up about ball-tampering scandal | Sky News AustraliaSteve Smith has opened up about the infamous ball-tampering scandal for the first time since he was banned from the game earlier this year by Cricket Australia. \n\nThe former Australian cricket captain shed light on what happened in the dressing room immediately before the incident took place, saying he made a mistake as his team's leader.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia WTF more does Maxi have to do to get a gig? Propose to Langer’s daughters? Total runs: about 50 if he bats both innings Bowling analysis: 20 2 75 1 Good selection. Handscombe isn't a test quality player and the Melbourne pitch is so unresponsive a bowling all rounder is needed. Would prefer Burns to Finch to open with Harris

Smith and Bancroft interviews fail to pass the BS testThe only one of the Cape Town Three mainting a dignified silence right now is David Warner. Yes, I’m as stunned as you. re the question was this the first time... if it wasn't then then why were they so amateurish on that day. with the myriad of cameras not mention producers looking for a story involved in TV coverage these days if they's done it before it would have been seen. re the question was this the first time... if it wasn't then why were they so amateurish on that day. with the myriad of cameras, not mention producers looking for a story, involved in TV coverage these days if they'd done it before it would have been seen.
