Ramdin ban

[_Ed_]

Here it is: Ramdin's suspected dropped catch off Misbah- you decide! - YouTube

 

[Burgey]

Cheating ****

thats almost as bad as prior.

on a side note people thought the poms run rate was slow

 

[Jono]

Clearly he knew what he was doing. Sometimes a player has claimed a catch that bounced but its not clear whether they knew or not, so you can't ban them. He knew here, its obvious. He should be banned.

 

[straw man]

a thoroughly deserved ban for that dyer effort imo

Nice, yep it would of made Grey Dyer proud. I can't believe people are defending him, it was blatant cheating and he got off light in my opinion.

Heh, if you want your hackles raised go and read the cricinfo page, where several commentors suggest Tim Southee should receive a similar ban for not giving himself out lbw in the ODI the other night

Remeber Dhoni's a few years back at Lord's off Pietersen? Dead set nearly bounced up and hit him in the forehead it landed that far in front of him. Even so, I think this one is worse than most of the contentious "catches" I've seen in recent times. He looks down and picks the ball up off the ground ffs.

I suspect the fact he was playing in England meant he had a "When in [former conquest of] Rome, do as the [former underlings of the] Romans do.

windies fans forums don't seem to agree with the ban

Mmmmm never seen the one by Ponting then that Gavaskar goes nuts about.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Yeah but that's Gavaskar he's been nuts since 1980 at least.

i think this worked out for the best tbh

I agree, I just hope the next player to do the same gets the same punishment so no bias can be claimed in future.

This should be the marker now that it is a 2 game ban if you do this in a ODI/T20 match. What they do in a test I don't know.

Found it! I knew my memory wasn't playing tricks!

Latif banned for five matches over disputed catch

(Also this)

Ramdin got off lightly! Although maybe the difference was that in the latest incident the correct decision actually got made on the field eventually so his 'deception' didn't actually change anything.

force them to play keeper-less for two days

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Haha, got a vision now of batsmen leaving everything for four byes past no keeper with slip diving across to try and stop it.

 

[ajdude]

i guess they could have a backstop. i would not want to be that man though

 

[Burgey]

We've done that since Wade replaced Haddin.

 

[Prince EWS]

Just realised that this occurred on the anniversary of "Yeah Viv Talk Nah". Could argue it was fitting really.

 

[Jarquis]

He doesn't even pick it up cleanly first time ffs. Just abysmal.
