Advocate's name:

Alec Grainger

PENALTY

Report:

Aggressive abusive and threatening behaviour towards umpire - report submitted by Armadale CC

Tribunal notes:

Armadale team captain John Parnabas presented evidence of misconduct towards umpire Anand Baskaran. The substance of this evidence was not disputed by A.Grainger on behalf of G.Silvestri

Penalty:

A.Silvestri found guilty of Level II Code of Conduct Offence and suspended for eight (8) playing dates from 1st December, 2018. Piara Waters Cricket Club fined $100 for guilty player verdict. Team Captain S.Murison Lemon reprimanded for not controlling players - especially in not removing A.Silvestri from the ground due to his continuing bad behaviour towards the umpire. The panel expressed disappointment that incidents like this are arising on an all too frequent basis and all Clubs must address player behaviour, particularly in regard to the principle that abuse of umpires will not be tolerated. It is also beholding on Clubs to ensure that umpires undertake their duties in a diligent manner and provide fair and reasonable decisions.
