Waringstown II v Waringstown III - one player from each team suspended for nearly a year for having a "disagreement" in the presence official umpires?

Is that the one?
Aye

Didnt something similar happen at a north down club and both players got just a warning

It's just not cricket.

I try and keep my players on a shorter leash. We had a young quick bowler in our side once though. The batter objected to some short stuff in what was only a Business League game so our bowler proceeded to york him and enquire if that was pitched up far enough.

Am off to the Oval on Friday and Saturday.

A north Down club or specifically North Down Cricket Club (in Comber)?
Either way I'm not aware of either, despite being a member of North Down. I would be surprised though if a physical altercation resulted in just a warning as the NCU has strict rules for different levels of offence. A warning would be used for a level one offence and a physical altercation is not a level one offence.

Only account I'm aware of was that the two players were unlucky that what they did was in the presence of at least one umpire who was quite right to report them, but perhaps what was more unfortunate (for them) was that all clubs had been warned about falling discipline standards only a week or two earlier, so perhaps the NCU felt they had to make an example, once a report had been received.

From report I heard (which may not be 100% accurate), the two players concerned would quite often "disagree", but are in fact quite friendly and had made up within minutes of the altercation. Hardly surprising being at the same club? Some might consider the punishment quite harsh considering the circumstances, but them's the breaks.

Stokes was superb today.

As good as his knock in Cape Town.

You'd think the stingy old git could spare a first class ton - he got 151 after all.

Typical Yorkshireman.

Pleased for TRJ who has paid his dues in County cricket.

Nearly 3 times as many wickets as Wood at a better average, strike rate and economy rate.

Wood is a one trick pony, with his one trick actually being to do a passable impression of a pony.

Missed this completely during silly season, what a belter. Have to say I was a massive fan of Boycott as a player and like him as a commentator/expert.

I walked out of Lords at 6.05 pm, 25 minutes early, in disgust one night when Boycott got out for 92, caught & bowled by Hedley Howarth of NZ when Geoffrey looked for all money a centurion.

A week or so later we arrived to see a county game at Worksop Notts v Yorks when Geoffrey, completely out of character, brought up his century with a pull over mid-wicket straight through the front windscreen of an invalid carriage parked on the boundary. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
