The ringleader of the ball-tampering fiasco Steve Smith has finally spoken out in a press conference after his partners-in-crime David Warner & Cameron Bancroft addressed the country’s media.
During the press conference, Steve Smith broke down while reading out a statement from a paper. Smith said that he will regret this all his life. He also took complete responsibility for the issue, apart from seeking forgiveness from his fans. He also attributed this episode to a failure on the part of the leadership and vouched that this will not happen again.

But it seems that the common man is not ready to forgive Smith. Here is what the Twitter reckon.
I’m pretty sure Steve Smith was crying because he is genuinely sorry from the bottom of his heart, they were not crocodile tears and it is ok for a man to cry!

Crocodile tears! This wasn’t an act during committed during a moment of madness and red mist. This was planned, calculated & acted upon. Furthermore the #Proteas beat #Australia convincingly. So shows how ineffective it was anyway! #SteveSmith #BallTamperingScandal #Strewth

In all probability, Smith will make an appeal to Cricket Australia to overturn the decision. He has a week to do that.
