[Into The Black]

Mate, I've NEVER seen an incident like this. First time it's ever happened.

Beat me to it. Never seen anything like it. At first class level.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Never seen it before either.

Wild.

Not sure why they're appealing, pretty cut and dried.

 

[garlic munchers]

Curran is checking his run up, It's not safe to do that properly off of the pitch. Whoever the official was should have just let him do the one run through from that end towards the edge of the pitch like he did at the other end.

Just bizarre.

"It's not safe to do that properly off of the pitch".

If concerned about safety, you wouldn't be steaming in straight at the umpire.

Would have been super funny if he had done his ACL, doing that little dodge at the last moment.

BTW, common to do warm ups on the side of a pitch and also common to have a few looseners by bowling to a teammate in the outfield (without risking life and limb).

Curran just had a self entitled hissy fit and 4 weeks is fine.

Appeal = double it.

 

[Tugga27]

Don't have a problem with them enforcing the punishment for disrespect per se, it's just a strange time to start implementing stringent punishment.

A four match ban.

I have over the years seen many far more disrespectful and intimidating action towards Umpires, both in Australia at State level and on the International stage, many of which went either unpunished, or lodged, perhaps had the Match Referees over the years been more consistent in metering out punishment, things may have never got to this.

If you are going to enforce the laws of the game , then for God sake be consistent with the enforcement both in severity of punishment and frequency on enforcement.

The officials loose creditability, IMO, by picking and choosing when they administer and hold up the rules of the game.

Four match ban for that, yet players "verbals" back to umpires when given out and begrudgingly slowly walking off the ground and bowlers vigorously debating with umpires for a not out decision and they go unpunished.

Be consistent and my beef with the decision abates.

Come on mate.

Slowly walking off the ground or showing dissent isn't even in the same ballpark as refusing to obey the umpire and then charging at him. He also gave him a serve which was bleeped out.

Matthew Wade got an automatic 2 game suspension this season for a code of conduct breach.

Curran is lucky he got 4 weeks IMO.

Probably like the AFL.
Won't cost them much if anything.

 

[WCE_phil]

I completely agree that Curran shouldn't have done the second run through and didn't listen with sound. The mouthing off at the official is completely uncalled for.

While I played a very long time ago, when I did play at the WACA we were allowed 1 run through from each end before play to set our mark. Mind you it was with your full bowling action but without a ball not the pissy run through that Curran was doing.

 

[Keys]

That’s a big blow to the Scorchers

 

[Tugga27]

That's massive.
Will miss his captaincy more than his batting I reckon.

Can he be replaced?
I'd be getting in the ear of Green if he can be.

Nah thats BS. I have never seen a player physically rush at an umpire causing him to move out of the way. The punishment is also for breaking the law of running on the purch then when instructed not to, doing it again. 4 games is at the lower end of the scale.
Besides your arguement has no bearing on your initial post that the umpire was being overofficios and glory hunting. I have a lot of respect for you but this reeks of a backpedal and diversion after being called out and realising you were probably wrong.

You don't think the umpire didn't exacerbate the incident by standing in his way ?

Curran had already been warned not to do what he did previously from the other end, so had the umpire not stood guard and then Curran proceeded to do what he did, would that be grounds for him to reported and be punished, you would think so.

Therefore why the need for the umpire to stand guard and big note himself, he didn't need to do so


By the way.

You may want to familiarise yourself with the Colin Croft incident and the lack of any punishment from the powers to be.
That whole tour had several incidents where players should have been suspended.

The umpire wasn't big noting himself.

He told Curran he couldn't run on the pitch and was well within his rights to stand where he did to make sure he didn't.

He's just lucky the umpire moved the right way and there was no collision or he'd be looking at a lot more than 4 weeks.

The Colin Croft incident was over 40 years ago.
Times have changed.

 

[kane249]

Colin Croft? Got any incidents from WG Grace as well while you are at it?

 

[Truckosaurus]

The umpire's job is to enforce the rules, not just make sure people are aware of them and then hope they listen.

The more you look at it, he's really lucky to end up with 4 games.

Revealed: The vulgar spray Tom Curran gave Big Bash League umpire

English cricketer Tom Curran not only physically intimidated an umpire prior to a Big Bash League match, he also delivered a disgusting insult that has been called out on social media.

[amazingjoshy]

The mind boggling arguments blaming the ump for simply doing his job are next level

Given Currans reaction does anyone seriously believe he'd have a better one of the ump went right up to him and talked to him (as Lisa Sthalekar proposed)?

 

[amazingjoshy]

No. No I don't.

Not in anyway.

Curran had his mind made up

Ump didn't do a thing wrong

 

[KBLT]

I heard that Johnny Mullagh yelled at an umpire once.

 

[Truckosaurus]

God I hope this is the year the Sixers struggle.

 

[MrWoollie]

Do the Sixers realise we've all seen the vision now? Or have they even seen it themselves lol

Having watched that he should take the 4 matches and be grateful it was such a soft penalty.
Good luck with the appeal bud! Hope it gets doubled.
