Is there any updates about the news in the advertiser regarding Becker and Lara?
I suppose the umpire waits till the end of the game before doing anything.
If proven (ie. If the umpire backs up the statements), what sort to punishment would you expect from the association.
It's sad that some harmless sledging in cricket is misconstrued as racism. Is sledging dead in our game?
I hear that the words used were targeted at his weight and not his ethnicity. If i had a dollar for everytime my weight was mentioned on a cricket field, then i would be a very rich man. Maybe it's a sign that Becker is too young and immature to be a captain, seeing he can't cop a little sledge even though he was dishing out more than he copped.
I also hear that the umpire was unaware of the comments until after the game, when Leopold approached him. He did not actually hear the comment on the field, which will put him in an interesting situation come this saturday night.
Also hear the GCA aren't too happy with Leopold for going straight to the papers rather than coming to them about the issue first.
the comment wasnt about his weight it was about his race but in saying that what was said wasnt that bad.....hear worse things come out of kids mouths
The GCA who ended up handling this situation, should be ashamed and embarrassed at the way this situation fizzed out. It seems the GCA doesn't have the balls to stand up and convict these type of players who, as far I know are repeat offenders who, time and time again have got away with this type of behavior on the field.
