I give you England, Australia and the umpire brawling over the stumps at the end of a test match in the 1948 Ashes

As is often the case, Charles Davis wrote an article about the stump-grab at the end of a Test - sportstats.com.au/blogArchive2020.html , the article dated 20 September is called "The Old Stump Scramble"... it seems to have begun some time in the 20s, but was evidently getting out of hand by the early 50s and both the MCC and ABC called a halt to it.

Very interesting
Thanks for sharing
Seems Botham was aware of the old tradition then.
Bearing in mind players were literally rolling around on the floor fighting, and wrenching stumps out of the umpires' hands, it seems astonishing that action wasn't taken sooner!

Would be typical of English players to scramble for a stump after getting a beating. they just don't get competitive sport over there.

Best example of souvenier grabbing is Gubby Allen in the final test of the 1934 Ashes. Nice, wild, terrible shot to end the match, and it's not quite one motion but he was onto it pretty quickly.
Saw this the other day, hope that little C behind the stumps got fined. Living up to the last 4 letters of his name.Vitality County Championship on Instagram: "Thoughts?"

I thought Mark Vermeulen trying to burn down the cricket academy was rather rude.

The Australian influence on the English game is evident.

what a prick.
i had a rugby captain a bit like that once. would give a player somewhere between a push and a punch if he missed a tackle.

Worst Napoleon syndrome in cricket but at least that guy was king for a day. I wish unending misery and eventual relegation upon this ****all cricketing setup with due sympathies for sensible fans.
