John snow being manhandled by an Australian spectator.

John snow being manhandled by an Australian spectator.

Correct !! John Snow felled Aussie tail-ender Terry Jenner with a bouncer and then became involved in a war of words with Aussie umpire Lou (LP) Rowan, after being warned for intimidatory bowling. England Captain Ray Illingworth joined in and the crowds apparently started becoming hostile with booing and cans being thrown onto the ground.

The last part of this drama was when John Snow was sent to field right near the Fine-leg fence (as the picture shows)and a drunken spectator leaned over and grabbed Snow by his arm.

Illingworth then lead his Team off the field and only after the umpire's informed him that England would forfeit the game if they did not return, did the Team come back on field.

Your turn to post next question !!

Dwayne Bravo?

 

[Burpey]

or Scott Styris ?

 

[Jamee999]

Styris is correct, well done.

It's a topic that interests me, people with the same surname that aren't related.
