Personally, I think the ban lengths were probably about right, though I think Darren Lehmann had more to do with it than was publicly admitted.

Where I believe CA has gone wrong, is by rushing everyone back into the fold. To read it as a mixed message. On one hand, there was public condemnation of the trio, and a promise to clean up the culture. On the other, by rushing them back, and not making re-earn the the respect of the cricket public first, the message seems to be that what they did wrong, was not violating the ethical standards of the game, but instead that they got caught in the first place.

For me, national results aside, this summer should have been one of toil at domestic level, to earn their redemption.
