Stuart Broad escapes fine with umpire apology


Recommended Posts

Posted
England's Stuart Broad has pushed the bounds of acceptable behaviour on a cricket pitch before but by apologising immediately to Umpire Rod Tucker, after breaking the ICC’s code of Conduct on celebrating a wicket before it has been given out, he spared himself a visit to the cashpoint. ....... A feisty cricketer, Broad has come close to censure several times though never to the point of being punished. In a recent column, Sunil Gavaskar opined that umpires were afraid of punishing him because his father Chris is an ICC match referee. Chittagong was Tucker’s second Test and any leniency on his part was due to inexperience not fear. Broad reckoned this was the first time he’d ever transgressed in such a way but ICC have punished others for doing the same thing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/england/7466683/Bangladesh-v-England-Stuart-Broad-escapes-fine-with-umpire-apology.html

Its getting beyond ridiculous. These bunch of pu$$ies try and act hard for a minute and then go and apologize to the umpire so they don't get fined. I think Swann done the exact same thing

And then certain English and Australian fans will bring out the ICC punishment list to "prove" how India is a worse behaved team then theirs. What a ****ing joke.

There are a lot of delusional Ozzies in the world. Not all, but there are quite a few. Which is why I was 100% behind India when India put a Gun to Australia and said "suck our ****" during the Symonds-Harbhajan scandal. Because that is just about the only thing Oz listens to. Was it the right thing to do -- NO. Was it the Best thing to do -- Absolutely YES!

Honestly dont think he would have got a fine for that anyway even if he didnt apologise, even if its against the code of conduct its a bit petty tbh.

What about what Swann did. I heard he swore at someone, he later apologized, but no action. In Broad's case though he has been involved in so many incidents lately, he deserevs to be set straight

Telling some one to fork off is hardly bad, I wish ICC would just treat everyone like Australia, all this fining is really pointless and promotes no emotion during matches.

Havent see the video, so cannot make an honest/accurate assessment. But it does seem quite bizarre that Broad's name keeps coming for all these on-field related issues and every time, he goes unpunished. We once had 6 members of our time reprimanded in a single match by that scum of a match referee Mike Deness in a charge of 'over-appealing'. But Broad just keeps getting away. And if its true that Broad got away this time because he apologized, then thats stupid. A breach of the Code of Conduct is after all a breach, whether you apologize for it later or not. How about an Indian cricketer giving an aggressive send-off to a batsmen and then later apologizing for it?
