Also big difference in being an competitor and abusing people in the field.

Having a chirp is generally harmless
And personally I enjoy the bowlers having a go every know and then
It can lead to some thrilling passages of play
Things like Ambrose against Steve Waugh
Think of Donald steaming in against Atherton
Devon malcolm destroying south africa
Take the aggression out of the game and you lose a big part of it
At the end of the day there is something inherently violent in flinging a ball at another person as fast as you can
As long as both parties behave like men and can shake hands and have a beer at the end of the game

Well, he doesn't do that! Socialise after play. But I don't hold that against him- it's his choice.

If one were to claim that there is a different set of rules being applied I'm sure there are many instances of other bowlers being charged for the same thing?
Making_Splinters wrote:Well, did they do the same thing? A Level 1 breach covers a myriad of different things - there are 8 separate categories of offences that can fall under it - so to simply say this player received a Level 1 breach and this one did not doesn't actually mean very much.
In order to actually say there is a different set of rules being applied, then you need to actually have cases where two players have done roughly the same thing and received different sanctions.
So, are there examples of this to look at, or not?

As long as they can shake hands at the end of it that's all that really matters
I think socialising with the opposition after the game went out of the game a while ago didn't it

Plus the angry verbal volley. Obviously some will find this less acceptable than others. For me, taking out your frustrations on the umpire is a no-no.
