Bancroft's girlfriend, Warner's wife face the heat of fans on social media

The last couple of days have been horrible for the Australian cricketers. In all fairness, it is a trouble that was self-invited by the Aussies. Cameron Bancroft and Australian skipper Steve Smith admitted to the ball tampering charges in the third Test of the ongoing series against South Africa. They have been facing severe backlash from the fans for their involvement in the case.

Many have called for the sacking of Smith from the post of the Australian captain. Meanwhile, Steve Smith and his deputy, David Warner, decided to step down from their respective roles during the third Test. Smith has been handed a match ban by the ICC and Bancroft has been handed 3 demerit points. On the other hand, there are speculations that David Warner could be banned for a match too.

Well, just when many might think that the there could be nothing worse for these gentlemen, a new episode has opened up in the case. The fans are not only mocking the cricketers but their loved ones as well. Cameron Bancroft has been dating Caity Paris for over a year now. Caity is a Perth netball player who is very active on the social media. Her account fetched a lot of vitriolic comments from the fans after the sandpaper gate.

The fans are mocking her by sending her cruel messages about Bancroft, calling the latter as ‘cheater’ and ‘disgrace to cricket’. A fan also commented “How does it feel to be the girlfriend of a cheat?” on one of the older posts shared by Caity.

Here is the post:

A BIG ?Hａｐｐｙ Bｉｒｔｈｄａｙ? to this lad! So proud of everything you have achieved so far ? #25 #quarterlifecrisis @cbancroft4 ??

Meanwhile, Candice Warner, wife of David Warner, has also been receiving indecent comments from the fans after the recent scandal. She had come out with a post supporting her husband and the fans were very harsh in their remarks on the same.

Luckily for Dani Willis, the love interest of Steve Smith, the fans have not been this harsh. She found a lot of people supporting her and consoling her saying that humans are bound to make mistakes. “Dani – tell Smithy that we back him through and through. Everybody makes errors in judgement and he will return to his former glory once this settles,” a commenter wrote.
