So are the players at international level (bowlers ) allowed to do that pre game ?

I�m not sure what the umpire has done wrong here? Clearly tells him he shouldn�t be doing that after the first one, then goes to the other end and clearly tells him he can�t run on the wicket, (just like every other game ever), and then he just runs straight at him.

What do you expect the umpire to do? Run after him and get in his face as he is about to do the second run up?! Feel for the umpire personally.

I expect the umpire to calmly call the player over.
Talk to him rationally and explain the regulations.
Standing there like a bouncer was just as threatening as what Tom did.

This isn't saying Tom should have carried on, he should have also have walked over calmly and chatted to the umps.

It is brainless from both in my view.

Standard rule is you alway keep the umpires on side etc, you want the 5050s in your favour

I do agree @Buzz that the umpire isn't exactly faultless here. But we play to what the umpire says, regardless of whether we agree or not. I've been hit in the ribs by full tosses which weren't given NB, had my share of appeals turned down and been given caught off the thigh pad. In each instance the umpire was wrong, but you play to what they say. TC should have ceded to what the umpire said, regardless of whether the umpire is being a *insert your favourite insult* or not. If 40,000 of us think the umpire is wrong but the umpire thinks he's right, he's right.

I must be missing something here, it wouldn�t be the first time

You can�t run on the pitch before the game, that�s a given. Curran may or may not have spikes on hard to tell, even in flip flops you cannot run on the pitch, that�s what the umpire told him although he knows this already.

He has given the umpire at the end of the incident a mouthful beginning with an F.

He has now got a ban not even in a match but warming up. It�s absolutely brainless.

Please someone correct me and tell me I did not see what I saw

The weird thing is in an aggressive sport like rugby

The players would not dare do that to the ref ..

Although in football all goes on ..

Isn�t cricket meant to be a gentleman�s game ?

I don't think the rule about not walking on the pitch before the game holds weight any longer. You get off the team on it at some point visualising how they are going to approach the game. The only possible argument Curran's side could have is that he wasn't the first to go on it

No excusing Curran's behaviour though. If you aren't happy about the behaviour of the.umpire, there are proper channels to escalate those concerns

Apprently Curran taken it to heart and is worried about character assassination ..

Wasn�t worried about nearly barging into the umpire in that moment and if it wasn�t recorded I�m sure he would not have felt bad after

Couldn�t agree more, not sure why people are jumping to defend Curran so much?

Perhaps some of the forum members also follow a certain County based in south London�

Not going on the pitch half an hour before the start is a pretty common thing at premier league club level never mind even higher, he can clearly be told to tell the umpire to **** off at one point. That for me should be a four match ban alone, that�s what I�d expect at club level.

Bloke a brain drain but bloody clever he can put his feet up at Christmas and the New Year

Guy showed a lack of class towards the officials and game for me and he was told and warned so it on him.
