Some people think it's a matter of time — and the end of his leadership ban next March — before Steve Smith regains the Australian captaincy. But Allan Border isn't sure it's a good idea.

Restoring Steve Smith to Australia's captaincy when his leadership ban ends might not be the best call for the Test team in the eyes of Allan Border.Steve Smith was Australian Test captain from 2015 to 2018, when he was banned for 12 months for his role in the ball-tampering scandal

Border says rather than giving Smith the captaincy again, it may be better to let him score runs"unencumbered" Border, however, can see an argument to be made to avoid disrupting Smith's form in the team, after scoring a mind-boggling 774 runs in four Tests against England at an average of 110.57.Second Test at Lord's — 92 and Did Not BatFifth Test at The Oval — 80 and 23"If he is the best guy for the job, I have no issue," Border said."But, in saying that, is it better to have Steven doing what he does best? Let him go out there and score runs unencumbered.

Cricket Australia bans WBBL player for posting team list on InstagramCricket Australia comes down hard on Hobart Hurricanes WBBL player Emily Smith, handing out a 12-month suspension after she posted a team list on social media. Whoever made the decision to suspend her for that period of time should hang their heads in shame. Just an exited young athlete who made an error. She shouldn’t be suspended for any period at all Cricket Australia has lost the plot the last few years. I suggest that Cricket Australia needs to ban itself from Australian cricket.
