What i believe to be the first card handed out by the umpires occurred last weekend. In the 2nd XI match between Lara & Leopold, a Lara player has been carded by a rookie umpire.
From all reports, the incident involved the Lara player running on the side of the wicket where it was a tad wet...
Interesting to see the addy today say that the new Grovedale recruit Patton will slot into the middle order along with Pearce, Yelland and Kelvin Ford. Surely Ford has had enough, for a strong division 1 club, surely he is just holding them back. Play some youth!!
Lara have picked up a keeper-batsman from Ballarat - Les Sandwith. Made over 300 runs last year in ballarat and the Yates connection has lured him to Lara. Have only lost the Sri Lankan import from thier best XI.
Sean Arnott to coach the club and captain the 2nds.
I would say it was more about his weight than race. Would telling an aussie to "go eat another pie you fat c**t" be considered racist? I dont think so. Don't know what you have heard was said, but not racist in my opinion.
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...
Yes, Arnott has a knee injury, not sure if its the ACL or not but he won't playing any cricket. Have also heard that Benci will not play at all this year. And looks like Kenyon was offered a bit of cash to stay at Little River.
