    Most Blatant Chucker Of The Cricket Ball

    I remember once seeing film of Ian Meckiff. If that was anything like representative of his normal work I'm amazed he was allowed to play.

    Australian Domestic Season 2018/19

    Oh yes I have, and on the cricket field as well - as captain, club committee member and on field official, as well as professionally. I have also seen plenty in other clubs. If the behaviour of a player is disruptive to a team steps need to be taken - seen it done many times. The trouble...

    Australian Domestic Season 2018/19

    And desperate attempts at buck passing don't alter the truth that Smith had t fully within his power to reign in Warner and others at any time but consistently failed to do so. And if, for some strange reason, he decided he didn't have that power he could have resigned the captaincy.

    You're captain. You have a major say in the culture of a team - actually, you have the dominant word. Smith is very culpable for what happened.

    **Official** County Cricket 2018

    I've seen Ollie from County Age Group stuff and in Club cricket (and some of the other youngsters). Even early last year he did not stand out - but clearly the County saw what was there. Hopefully he 'trains on'. Will Jacks and new signing Jamie Smith are outstanding batting talents as well...

    **Official** County Cricket 2018

    A lot of serious cricket talent in that photo - and that's before Jamie Smith signed......... I've had the pleasure of umpiring most of them.

    **Official** County Cricket 2018

    He was certainly playing club cricket in Surrey in 2016 and doubt he's returned to SA since.
