I got diagnosed in March will have to call up the service and tell them they made a mistake.

I'm actually a six stringed Gibson and not on the spectrum.

Dwarshuis is pump. Only in the team cause he’s left arm. Sabba come back soon pls

sixers win and my dwarshuis sucks at the back end take is vindicate. exemplary...!

Dwarshuis and Dan Sams feel like very similar cricketers. Mercurial is the word

Either get pumped or take cheap poles

Dwarshius was a fine opening bowler several years ago because he swung the new ball sharply with decent control. Having him come on fourth to sixth as has been happening the past couple of seasons is the least effective way to use his limited skillset. Opening with Edwards instead is just plain mad.

TBH I don't see how a dangerous challenge in football can be related to the length of the ban in any way here.
Also why is the umpire on a power trip? He sees Curran clearly doing the wrong thing and immediately tries to rectify the problem which is what he
should do. Maybe he didn't handle it the best way but unless I'm missing something he didn't do too much wrong.

Brad Hogg on the same train as thought as myself.

Reiterate Curran totally in wrong. Umpire doesn't need to ban him four games and overreact to the whole thing. His behaviour during and response definitely an overreaction and my point about power trip I maintain.

Agreed. Now they're calling on a groundsman for ****ing evidence - never mind the umpire there who only tried to uphold the laws of the game, and was charged at for his troubles then basically called a ****. The video clearly shows he ignores the umpire, runs at him, then points at him in an intimidatory manner. If Curran gets downgraded, it's another slap in the face for officials and a clear message that the game is quite happy to oversee a sadomasochism towards umpires/refeeres. Step right up, S&M folks, wear a white coat and cop endless **** all day, maybe for $50 petrol money if you're lucky at club level!

Cmon Sydney...have a moral compass and make Curran cop his wack. He has zero public support. And if you're short an all-rounder who can't really bat or bowl, call Mark Ealham - he's 54 but he can wander out and get cleaned up first ball by Zampa as well as Curran ever could.

Didn’t realise how bad it was until I saw the video

Fkn ridiculous

Fielders get chipped by the umpires for walking across the middle of the pitch in Z grade let alone this ****

Can only assume that he’s completely lost the plot but that’s not a compelling defence

4 matches is over the top though and 1 plus a fine would be plenty

The umpire isn't banning him, it's Cricket Australia's integrity unit. Looking at it I think he's lucky to not be banned for longer.

Curran ran across the pitch when your clearly not meant to in the playing conditions, umpire gets in his way as he prepares to do it again and tells him not to, curran than proceeds to run straight at the umpire like a muppet and side step him at the last second. Based on the reports pretty sure curran told him to **** off aswell during that, or something to that effect. How is the umpire in any way wrong here? Curran went against playing conditions, got told not to, then proceeded to fake doing it again and in the process nearly spear tackled an umpire, then disrespected said playing official, who, once again, was just doing his job.

It's not an overeaction at all. Curran is a 30 yo seasoned professional, not a 15 year old on an ego trip.

A 15yo would probably be dragged in before the competition committee with his parents for a talking to & a suspension

4 game ban is an overreaction

Theres no way umpire doesn’t have a say in the ban. He could decide to file a report saying it was complete misunderstanding and CA would overrule that?

Also longer for what? People have collectively lost their minds, Curran is a complete idiot and rightly missed the game. The following game as suspension too + fine would have sufficed. He’s not done anything beyond the pale for me, see worse every football match ever.

Still think Smith and Warner bans were massively excessive(coming from an England fan) and I can’t stand either of them. So I’m not operating out of any real bias here.

Well, you’re wrong

With the horrendous treatment officials are subjected to across various levels of sport, I don't have any problem with a severe penalty for this. Got to send the message that it's not OK.

I think Henriques should have said something along those lines in his interview last night too, instead of just going on about what a great bloke Curran is.

I'm not one to disagree with Australia's ATG white ball spinner

I always knew umpires are the problem. Even when it was Curran, I knew it was them

 

[Spark]

Brad Hogg is a notorious contrarian known for idiotic takes. Would not count his word in Curran's defence

Looks like a decent crowd in Albury. A fairly ominous-looking cloud off in the distance...
