A.Baskaran found not guilty. Following discussion amongst the panel it was decided that as A.Baskaran was umpiring at the time of the various incidents he was not responsible for the initial behaviour of A.Silvestri towards him as umpire. The over riding principle that the umpire should not be subject to abuse in the carrying out of his duties must prevail.
Armadale captain J.Parnabas was reprimanded for not doing more to protect A.Baskaran from continuing abuse by providing an alternative umpire.
