to be fair, it was in Ashton, possibly enough cause to make anyone lose it.

Actually AFAIK it was the CLL that meted out the punishment and the ECB just comfirmed it.Burgey said:
Some extra on the story from the Oldham Advertiser, seems our Mark got sparked.
"Werneth official Adrian McMahon tried to shepherd him away but was met with a volley of abuse which so incensed him that he punched the player to the ground."

Uh Humour is spelt like that because it's grammatically correct, to write it humor means you should pronounce it Hugh-More (Hugh as in Hugh Grant, and more as in I have never read anything more stupid than saying we were crazy for spelling words in our own language correctly)silentstriker said:

On appeal his sentence has been reduced to a 3 year ban with 2nd and 3rd years suspended.
Which is a lot more reasonable and fair. There knee jerk reaction has been revised which is good for the game.

It was always going to happen. I didn't think it would be so soon though. A good decision in the end._TiGeR-ToWn_ said:

If you guys had seen it you wouldn't be saying this.
The full amateur video was shown on Sky Sports News last night and it made several people gasp due to it's severity.
The club official proper went for Vermeulen, lanced him a couple of times after a big takedown.
Note - scenes of violence contained in this clip. And quality is crap.

wow, so the club official has basically assaulted Vermeulen? Vermeulen, although throwing stuff around and ranting, didnt go for the bloke, yet got a total nailing.. Shouldnt the club official be the one with the police investigation?PY said:If you guys had seen it you wouldn't be saying this.

All in fairness, Vermeulen did pick up a boundary post which is basically a metal stake and marched towards the crowd after throwing a cricket ball at someone. And he threw some 'punches' in the melee after him being punched which you can't see.
But yes, it does appear like Vermeulen got the raw end of the deal. You can't have that kind of behaviour on a cricket field for mine. I'd rather he get done for attempted assault and given a thousand hours of community service and make him coach so he can use his talents to repay society.
10 years no, 1 year no. You get more for missing a drugs test.
Oh and Vermeulen was arrested for something which happened at his flat, not on the cricket ground.

And totally eradicate the guys good position in a court of law.. Couldn't quite believe it, no wonder Vermeuelen went mental afterwards..Voltman said:

Actually, I don't really blame the official - I think he made an equation in his mind that he couldn't physically hold Vermuelen back (he was a pretty small guy), and decided the best way to stop him (he had the spike in hand and was moving towards the crowd after already throwing the ball at spectators) was to give him a running tackle and punch him while he was down. FWIW, it worked, too.
I have to admit, I laughed out loud when the official was being manhandled away, and he shook his fist at Vermuelen and yelled in a close-to-****ney "OI BLOODY TOLD YOOO!"

FWIW, the report in the local paper round here implied the official started hitting Vermuelen because of something he said. i.e. he was just trying to restrain him but them Vermuelen verbally abused him and he lamped him
