This is to gain sympathy from Australian people. Smith and Warner both not came in to these news conferences without preparing their speech, body language and emotions. I am sure they both took specialists advice regarding their statement, body language, emotional behaviour, who else they should accompany (like Smith's old man ) etc etc.
It is common practice here in Australia, not to attack someone, when that person beg for mercy.
Believe me, if any of these players said, ""I feel like commit suicide"", no one ever going to say a word against them. Everyone will gather around him and support him. That's the Australian way.
Below is an example how Aussies treat a cheat when caught, and when beg for mercy.
Some years ago (may be early/mid 90s) there was a Tasmanian parliamentarian caught claiming travel allowances when he visiting his mum. It was all over every media, day and night. They (media) even checking the laws, and suggesting what sort of punishment this bugger should get. Few days later, this bugger was found in his bathtub with cuts to his wrists (it seems like he try to commit suicide, but I don't believe it's a real attempt, to this date I believe it's all a set up).
From that moment onwards none of the media ever mentioned that fraud, and parliament also not press charges against him, and he got away without even having a black mark to his career.
