Yeh I have no idea either.

That makes three of us.

Following appeals by Alex Blackman and Nick Borcich and intense discussions between the PA Rep and the CWBCC, both players in question have had their bans reduced significantly.

Blackman, initially announced to face a season-long ban, has had his punishment halved. He will now return for the third quarter of Season XII. His CW Black teammate, Nick Borcich will serve a quarter of a season. Neither player will be allowed to participate in official Development League warmups, but will be free to play club cricket.

Both players have stated their intentions to improve their behaviour, that the lengths of their bans be reduced. The CWBCC would like to thank all the parties involved in the appeal for their cooperation.

A very welcomed outcome and a much fairer one. I'd just like to thank the CWBCC and the Players Rep Dan Towns for all taking an appeal seriously and keeping level heads of the situation at all times.

A victory for decency and common sense. Much of the credit here goes to Daniel Towns who did a fine job in the appeal.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Much more reasonable. Good work from the Players Association in standing up for the banned individuals.

 

[superkingdave]

Good decision.

It says the players are available for club cricket. What about grade?

 

[AussieDominance]

I assume they mean Grade?

Well done Towns good job.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Congratulations to all parties involved.

Grade cricket has no bearing on Dev League cricket, so grade cricket is allowed.

 

[Hoggy31]

Good decision, thank you to all who supported me.

 

[ash chaulk]

now make sure you come back from rehab clean boys

 

[Cloete]

Good decision. Well done to Towns and well done to the CWBCC who took a common sense approach after an initially very harsh ban.

I have full confidence that both of the two players will come back with improved attitudes and hopefully improved cricketing abilities

 

[Buddhmaster]

Thankyou to everyone involved in reducing my ban, especially Towns.

Still thought Kenny had the right idea, but I guess you can`t win everything.
















...haha, jokes. Great work by Towns and the CWBCC to realise their initial error.

Neither player will be allowed to participate in official Development League warmups, but will be free to play club cricket.

So what's the deal with my suspension then? Available to play Dev League warmups? If not then really it's more than a three game suspension isn't it?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Considering that Dev League warmups are not FC or List-A matches, it technically is still a 3-game suspension.

That said, both you and Demeza will be allowed to play the warmups.

Also worth noting that the CWBCC does not consider the initial suspension length erroneous at all.

Does that mean we should expect similar length sentences for abuse in the future? Probably something the PA members should know.

We can win everything, and we will! Now that we have the bans halved, its obvious that we've got the CWBCC weakened. Its time now to rally together and get these bans reduced further. Half the season, poor Blackman.

Just browsing this thread on a quiet night and couldn't let this post pass.

if they can't take it then they shouldn't dish it out...
