Watch: Ahead of a BBL 2023/24 match, Tom Curran had a bizarre face-off with an umpire that earned him a four-match suspension.
Sydney Sixers fast bowler Tom Curran had a bizarre conflict with the umpire ahead of the match against the Hobart Hurricanes at the University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston on December 11.
Karan tried a “practice run” but there was one difference. That means he ran “part of the field.” When the referee intervened, Curran repeated the action on the other side.
The referee blocked Curran’s run-up to prevent him from running onto the pitch, pointing to the relevant area and saying in no uncertain terms: “You can run here, not here.” Curran ran towards the referee and forced him out of the way.
Match referee Bob Parry was given a call under Article 2.17 of the Code of Conduct, which deals with “intimidation or attempted intimidation of a referee, match official or medical staff by language or conduct (including gestures) during a match”. reported.
Mr. Curran maintained his innocence and denied the charges. The matter went to Code Commissioner Adrian Anderson, who found him guilty and gave him four demerit points. That meant he was given his BBL suspension for his four games.
The Sixers plan to appeal Curran’s suspension.
