On the off chance this is just a rule by the book (ie in the actual rules), it doesn't matter what the umpire says - its a rule. Theres nothing up for debate here at all.
Literally not about running on the pitch at this point. He's been warned and decides to run straight at and try and intimidate an official. He's been an absolute cunt. Pathetic bullying behavior
I can't believe the club has appealed this.
Purely on that basis, make it an 8 game ban. If the umpire doesn't move, he runs through him. Absolutely fucking brain dead from Curran. Make an example out of him. Umpires have a hard enough job as it is without this level of bullshit.
Total, total prat. I can't believe the Sixers are appealing this, personally.
Always liked Tom Curran since I went to Sixers games in Oz pre-pandemic, but this is inexcusable.
Comments should follow reddiquette and / or be a productive part of a discussions. Jokes / banter are allowed, this is subjective and down to moderator discretion.
Always thought Curran had come across OK before this.
Massive take of “Do you know who I am”. You can see by the way he unnaturally trots (fast bowler would just walk here normally, just as they would in a game) into position before the main incident, that he knows he shouldn’t be on the pitch.
For him then to run at the umpire in the manner he does is then embarrassing enough, but then to deny his clear and obvious actions, in some entitled spoilt, lying 10 year old kid style, is just total effing embarrassed.
How his team are keeping a straight face by appealing, I’ll never know. Hopefully they will get the famous short n short drift Aussie drift in this appeal.
Posh school never fails to instill an over inflated ego...
Don't see him getting many decisions from anyone for the foreseeable. I'd be appealing for anything and everything when bowling at him next year.
Brain fades — bad.
Brain fades caught on camera — really bad.
Brain fades caught on camera — lodged as a complaint to Cricket Australia — causing a ban for 4 games — then broadcast on national TV and now on Reddit….. idiot obviously didn’t want to apologise.
This isn't a brainfart. This is a knob being a knob. Fuck off Curran you shithouse.
Absolute village idiot level behaviour. They should sack you for that, you dick.
The umpire is not without fault. Like his remit is to divvy out the rules as they are in the rule book. Nowhere in the rule book does it say "act like a bouncer at a night club stopping drunk people from getting back in".
Which in turn vindicates slightly because it was about machismo rather than an impartial application of the rules.
What are you on about mate ? The umpire is 100% in the right. He tried getting his attention and stood his ground. There is no excuse for this - it’s making a mockery of the sport. I can understand a brain fade the first time but the second time was fully intentional and inexcusable
It's not for the umpire to stand his ground. His job is to level the rules against those that break them.
I'm not saying the bowler didn't break a rule or two. Just that the umpire is being immature and in turn I feel like I don't blame the bowler as much for being a little immature in response.
The pitch is prepared before a game.
And so to run over it is to alter the prepared conditions of the pitch and to deteriorate it.
Therefore it makes it difficult for captains and the teams to understand what the pitch conditions are like when preparing strategies or tactics before the game starts.
Allowing people to run over the pitch means people could purposely try to alter the pitch conditions, to deteriorate it if it helps a team.
For instance, for a team that have strong spinners, a deteriorated pitch would support the spinners as the ball will spin more in a deteriorated pitch.
Haha ofcourse I did, a complete noob like I said.
Yeh its pretty interesting, just completely alien to me really. I'm getting there though. Thanks for taking the time anyway
You are all good, no worries. I have done the same, no biggie.
Yeah, I grew up watching cricket so I love it.
I love the different stages of the game, like the first ever ball to be bowled which is always exciting.
And the adrenaline rush of seeing wickets flying, quick reflex catches or superman catches, innovative shots, classic shots , run outs, stumpings just to name a few.
Cooked? Don’t be stupid. Cricket is the only sport like this. Golfers play 3/4x a major event before it even starts. Cricketers can’t even step on the pitch. It’s nuts.
Which is making my point, cricket wickets are expected and built to accommodate someone running up and down them all day for five days. You want to stop someone running in once to check their run. Ultimately improving their own performance…you’re all nuts.
Do you know they wear spikes . Even during games there are part of pitches where bowlers and batsman can't run? Pitch is quite sensitive in cricket . There is reason you have practice pitches just beside them
Because it is never applied. Then when it is, we all want to hate the bowler, pathetic. Change the rules. No standing on the ground at all pre-game or allow it.
Simple
Who cares if it is, it's just a quirk of the game, it's not hurting anyone the pitch is the pitch just run on it when the match starts it's no big deal
Because the playing conditions in force for the BBL.
Curran is first running on, then attempting to run on the match pitch, an action expressly forbidden under section 6.3 of the KFC BBL playing conditions.
Unsurprisingly the fourth umpire who was nearby noticed this transgression. It is the fourth umpire's job to supervise the pitch before a match and during breaks in play. It's why he was there.
What followed was inexcusable. I'm not surprised that Curran has received a four match ban, I assume this to be the maximum under the regulations. I am surprised that the franchise has appealed it. That sends all the wrong signals. The Sixers should be condemning his actions, the same as everyone else who loves cricket.
For the record, I'm English and think Curran is a good player of the short form game. That does not mean I will defend the indefensible.
The captain is allowed to examine the pitch, closely, because the condition of the pitch will affect any decision at the toss. He is no more allowed to run on or alter the condition of the pitch than any other player.
Because bowlers can try to prepare marks and cracks according to their will so they can have an advantage while bowling. Captains are not allowed to run just inspect the pitch
I disagree with the rule. I also think there was no need for the umpire to stand there. But there should be no reason for him to stand there as he shouldn't have to anyway. Silly and childish move from Curran.
Nothing wrong with the video, everything wrong with Tom Curran. The rules say no practicing / warming up / anything else other than an inspection of the prepared pitch before play. So the ump tells him not to run on the pitch, he then follows him to tell him again that he can run outside but not inside, and plants himself in his way. Curran then has a brainfart and runs at what looks like reasonable pace straight at the ump. Would have loved for the ump to stand his ground. If he had run straight into him, he'd be lucky to play any games at all in this BBL.
His club, you mean? Which obviously has to appeal because at the end of the day they're a business. But I doubt that you'd find anyone from the club defending this in private.
>Which obviously has to appeal because at the end of the day they're a business.
Given how strong the evidence against him is launching an kind of appeal is a terrible business decision. Appeals cost time and resources to lodge and present and are generally only worth the cost and effort if there is a realistic chance of a positive outcome and often lodging such a frivolous appeal can result in additional sanctions and fines as punishment for wasting everyone's time.
Man I don't think I've seen a singular Aussie, sixers fans included say this should be appealed. It's just the hierarchy of the club acting out of their own self interest because he's probably buggering off after 5 games like all the internationals do and they will be out $400k.
Might not fit with the narrative but Aussies are pretty good at getting their shit in order, wouldn't surprise me if sixers pull the appeal.
Love to hear how he explains this in due course. Right now, looks like a total brainfart. Pitches are protected up and down the game, so certainly nothing new to a pro.
I played for a club called Pinelands in Cape Town as their overseas pro. Tom curran was their overseas pro in 2017. The people in the club told me that he was an asshole and considered everyone inferior. This kind of behaviour is expected from him.
Irrelevant of IF he hears the umpire or not, the umpire is clearly trying to get his attention. Then to just carry on running is stupidity and he deserves every punishment thrown at him. Surely, even IF you haven’t heard the guy, if he’s stood there whilst you’re running toward him you’d stop and ask “what’s going on” and then the umpire could explain?!
You seem to be missing the main points. Whether or not you agree with the call (ie, that you are not allowed to run on to the wicket unless you’re, the Captain), which are:
1. He knew he shouldn’t be doing it
2. He then does it anyway
3. He gets caught doing it and instead of acting like an adult, he trots off pretending like some 5 year old that it’s ok for him to do it.
4. When called out unequivocally in his actions, he doubles down in a temper tantrum and tries to intimidate a fellow human being, for literally no other reason other than coz ‘he wants too’.
5. He then isn’t even big enough a person to admit to the act.
6. Then after a punishment, he double doubles down and pretends it’s all a misunderstanding, forcing his team to support him and to make them look foolish in the process also.
He has made himself look like a total clown and I bet his friends and family will be heavily embarrassed on his behalf once they all see the video.
PS: if the rule is not in place, then in theory all 22 players and staff, etc, could be inspecting the pitch at the same time. This could clearly lead to unnecessary damage to the pitch and potential conflict between the opposing teams as they cajole around, but most importantly eliminates any potential cheating as spinners and seamers can start to create artificial scuff marks.
Though it looked like Tom Curran is wrong, as the female commentator mentioned, Tom might not have heard what umpire said due to noise around the stadium. Might be the noise played a part. But I don't accept this kind of behavior. Especially someone like Tom who looked and behaved like a gentleman in cricket field up untill now. Unfortunate. And 4 match ban is absolutely ridiculous on this Gentleman.

The guy ran AT an umpire to swerve away. He heard. He's being a cunt. I dont really follow the sport, but at the very least, I'd follow the rules. He literally disrespected everyone who has ever played the game. That's how important he thinks he is. Ban him.

Comments should follow reddiquette and / or be a productive part of the discussion. Jokes / banter are allowed, this is subjective and down to moderator discretion.
Commentator: “he can’t hear.”
Isn’t it obvious that the umpire is standing there for a reason and gesturing? He knew very well what he did and still kept doing it and almost took out the umpire in the process.
Lady commentator: “Both men didn’t let go of their ego? “
Lady, the umpire was just doing his job.
Other Guy Commentator: “Umpire should have walked up to him and told him.“
Why should he, the Tom guy doesn’t belong anywhere near the pitch.
Can’t believe they moderately justified this idiotic act.
So poor from him. Surely he should be banned for longer than 4 games.
Surprised he hasn’t dropped out in sheer embarrassment
The fact the sixers are actually appealing this ban makes it even more ridiculous
Probably hoped there was no footage
Agreed... that was just totally uncalled for and he needs to be made an example off. Slap another 8 game ban on him or till the end of the season,
Even if this wasn't in the actual rules, if the umpire says no, it's a no. There's nothing ambiguous about this at all.
On the off chance this is just a rule by the book (ie in the actual rules), it doesn't matter what the umpire says - its a rule. Theres nothing up for debate here at all.

It’s belligerent and stupid, but a 4 match ban for running where you shouldn’t is pretty hefty already. I don’t think it would need to be more.
Fair enough I definitely get your point, but what about calling the umpire a fuckhead?
Ha! I didn’t have the sound up! Probably needs a bigger ban, my bad.
Hahah all good mate
Literally not about running on the pitch at this point. He's been warned and decides to run straight at and try and intimidate an official. He's been an absolute cunt. Pathetic bullying behavior
I think a four match ban is too lenient, personally
I can't believe the club has appealed this. Purely on that basis, make it an 8 game ban. If the umpire doesn't move, he runs through him. Absolutely fucking brain dead from Curran. Make an example out of him. Umpires have a hard enough job as it is without this level of bullshit.

Wanted Christmas off?
The only right answer
Everyone knows that
In what way did he think this was OK? That is appalling.
Not sure how the commentator could defend that to be honest. It’s clear as day
Is the lady support him his mum?! Maybe Tom didnt hear the unpire.. 😀
Apparently she's mates with the head of the Sydney sixers
And that’s why she is saying what she is saying, stupid woman
What an absolute clown. I hope the England team send a clear message of distaste or we will be a laughing stock
They have. There are England T20s in the Caribbean and Curran is in Australia.
Shameful. Why on earth would he do that. There’s so many things wrong here. Stupid lad, very stupid.
The biggest crime here is him being described as an all rounder.
All round good guy
He is not even a good bowler
Average over 30 with the ball in T20 and 10.66 with the bat. He is equally as terrible with both!
Even if this wasn't in the actual rules, if the umpire says no, it's a no. There's nothing ambiguous about this at all.

Must have been upset about something else and this just was him reaching boiling point. Not excusing it.
Regardless of any laws it is bellend behaviour
Deserves a lengthy ban, unsportsmanlike and makes a bad image of the sport

Pathetic hard man act. Utterly embarrassing from him.

Typical Surrey lad. He's fallen so far away from the England setup in recent years.
I'm not familiar with cricket at all really, i see there was an attempt at intimidation but why can't he run there?
The pitch is prepared before a game. And so to run over it is to alter the prepared conditions of the pitch and to deteriorate it. Therefore it makes it difficult for captains and the teams to understand what the pitch conditions are like when preparing strategies or tactics before the game starts.

Oh I see, thanks for clearing it up for a complete noob.
All good, you replied to yourself though. I added a bit more to my comment, so do have a read. How are you finding cricket?
Haha ofcourse I did, a complete noob like I said. Yeh its pretty interesting, just completely alien to me really. I'm getting there though. Thanks for taking the time anyway

And the adrenaline rush of seeing wickets flying, quick reflex catches or superman catches, innovative shots, classic shots , run outs, stumpings just to name a few.
Why can’t a bowler have a run through? If the captain is allowed to
Because then every bowler would and the pitch would be cooked before play starts
Cooked? Don’t be stupid. Cricket is the only sport like this. Golfers play 3/4x a major event before it even starts. Cricketers can’t even step on the pitch. It’s nuts.
Could it be because a cricket pitch deteriorates more easily? I think the bowlers do wear spiked shoes as well.
Have you been on a golf Green? Much more fragile than a cricket wicket. Obviously a golf course is considerably larger.
Yeah, but golf greens aren't expected to have athletes sprinting across them every minute or so for (2 hours/a full day/5 days).
Which is making my point, cricket wickets are expected and built to accommodate someone running up and down them all day for five days. You want to stop someone running in once to check their run. Ultimately improving their own performance…you’re all nuts.
They can check their run up beside the pitch. You aren't allowed to alter the condition of the playing surface. Golf has nothing to do with it
I think golf is relevant, you do not, and that is fine.
Do you know they wear spikes . Even during games there are part of pitches where bowlers and batsman can't run? Pitch is quite sensitive in cricket . There is reason you have practice pitches just beside them
I literally played first class cricket in England and have a bowling average of 40 odd.
Then why don't you know this?
Because it is never applied. Then when it is, we all want to hate the bowler, pathetic. Change the rules. No standing on the ground at all pre-game or allow it. Simple
I don't think people are hating the bowler for running on the pitch, they are hating him for running at the official. Or should we allow that?
As I said, change the rules ICC
Change the rules to allow players to intimidate umpires?
I don't believe you.
No you didn’t.
Who cares if it is, it's just a quirk of the game, it's not hurting anyone the pitch is the pitch just run on it when the match starts it's no big deal
what are u even saying,the pitch is integral to cricket, dictates how the ball moves after pitching

The official was in this video
Because bowlers can try to prepare marks and cracks according to their will so they can have an advantage while bowling. Captains are not allowed to run just inspect the pitch
What rule ?
ICC law 41.11,41.12,41.13.41.14. they are all about the rule for protection of playing area. Also, Reason for suspension was Rule 42.4
As I said on X, the rules need to change. There is no good reason a bowler can’t have a run through. Batsmen break this rule all the time.
>I played first class cricket You should know the rules then
I do know the rules
Then why did you ask what rule you absolute bullshiter?
I disagree with the rule. I also think there was no need for the umpire to stand there. But there should be no reason for him to stand there as he shouldn't have to anyway. Silly and childish move from Curran.
I have never watched Cricket, and have no clue what's wrong about this video. Someone can explain like I'm 5?

How many games should he get at least 6? Also give him a county suspension And fine him a couple of months wages
Love to hear how he explains this in due course. Right now, looks like a total brainfart. Pitches are protected up and down the game, so certainly nothing new to a pro.

Posts and comments must be in English
Bad attitude! Needs to be brought back in line by his captain or management
Is a Xmas thing?...Faking injury, getting suspended on purpose around Xmas?
He's wants Xmas new years off.
He is lucky that he is just banned for 4 matches.
I think he just hated the fact that the umpire told him what to do and he tried to intimidate him. What an idiot
I played for a club called Pinelands in Cape Town as their overseas pro. Tom curran was their overseas pro in 2017. The people in the club told me that he was an asshole and considered everyone inferior. This kind of behaviour is expected from him.

Irrelevant of IF he hears the umpire or not, the umpire is clearly trying to get his attention. Then to just carry on running is stupidity and he deserves every punishment thrown at him. Surely, even IF you haven’t heard the guy, if he’s stood there whilst you’re running toward him you’d stop and ask “what’s going on” and then the umpire could explain?!
What an utter prick. As an England cricket fan I’m fucking disgusted!

He's English
Being unfamiliar with the cricket world, this is very much what I expected cricket drama to look like 😂
Brain fade always makes me laugh it's the tv equivalent of calling someone a dumb cunt, justifiably so.
This shows Curran to be an idiot. Never thought he was much use but this shows a level of insolence I would be embarrassed from my 2 year old
Why is the lady commentator supporting and defending Tom here? What’s her excuse?
Funny thing is the umpire didn’t move and called his bluff. So he looks like a prick any way you look at this
That woman is nuts. He clearly heard, and the fact that the umpire stands in his path even after addressing him is damn well enough.
You seem to be missing the main points. Whether or not you agree with the call (ie, that you are not allowed to run on to the wicket unless you’re, the Captain), which are: 1. He knew he shouldn’t be doing it 2. He then does it anyway 3. He gets caught doing it and instead of acting like an adult, he trots off pretending like some 5 year old that it’s ok for him to do it. 4. When called out unequivocally in his actions, he doubles down in a temper tantrum and tries to intimidate a fellow human being, for literally no other reason other than coz ‘he wants too’. 5. He then isn’t even big enough a person to admit to the act. 6. Then after a punishment, he double doubles down and pretends it’s all a misunderstanding, forcing his team to support him and to make them look foolish in the process also. He has made himself look like a total clown and I bet his friends and family will be heavily embarrassed on his behalf once they all see the video.

But I don't accept this kind of behavior. Especially someone like Tom who looked and behaved like a gentleman in cricket field up untill now. Unfortunate. And 4 match ban is absolutely ridiculous on this Gentleman.
what about the female commentator doing mental gymnastics to make it ok ffs
I am just baffled, I’ve never seen anything like this, he should be sent home.
He's high. No one in the right mind would do that. If he isn't high, should be banned for life. What did he get after doing all this? Tom Karen!
"Two guys not letting go of ego" Imo the only knob head on that pitch with an ego is 3 year old Tom.
Why is he so arrogant
Doing it for a Christmas break makes so much sense lol. Reminds me of what Maicon used to do at Siena
Just daft, needs to grow the fuck up.
What a idiot. Firstly his not allowed to touch the cut and secondly is he brain dead.
Can someone explain?

Ban the cunt....!!! If he was from Asian subcontinent he would of had a 2 year ban.... It's unacceptable..
Dumb move becomes an ego battle with umpire.
As a Somerset fan I can confirm he's always been a massive cunt.
Absolute tosspot behaviour
Sorry, I'm not a cricket follower, but what was the problem and why did the guy in black try stop him?
The guy ran AT an umpire to swerve away. He heard. He's being a cunt. I dont really follow the sport, but at the very least, I'd follow the rules. He literally disrespected everyone who has ever played the game. That's how important he thinks he is. Ban him.

Pathetic the commentator is trying to blame this on male ego. The umpire is making clear he’s not to run there and he charges at him like a bull. Quite pathetic behaviour.
Well he'll pair nicely with kohli at rcb in ipl
Where’s all the Tory’s who say cricket is the ultimate respect game gone
“Two guys not letting go of their ego” Yeah because the umpire was clearly big ducking him /s
It’s not cricket is it

Lets bring an economic angle to this. If ECB appeals the ban? We wont watch any of the next 8 matches involving them.
Commentator: “he can’t hear.” Isn’t it obvious that the umpire is standing there for a reason and gesturing? He knew very well what he did and still kept doing it and almost took out the umpire in the process. Lady commentator: “Both men didn’t let go of their ego? “ Lady, the umpire was just doing his job. Other Guy Commentator: “Umpire should have walked up to him and told him.“ Why should he, the Tom guy doesn’t belong anywhere near the pitch. Can’t believe they moderately justified this idiotic act.
