One of the 'quicks' in the 1s is always giving it out, verbals, short stuff, banter (and this is just nets) and was batting on Sunday. Mate of mine, only a kid at 18, was asked to bowl at him by the captain. He's a bit nippy, no attitude, just a kid who loves his cricket. Anyway, sent a few short ones down at him, nothing savage, and the bloke walks up to him in front of everyone and says "bowl at me like that again and I'll knock you out"
Was the nail in the coffin for me. Outrageous behaviour from someone who A:should know better and B:can give it out all day long to anyone yet when someone younger (and better) than him gives him a bit back, he goes off like that.
No time for that at all, so said you can all swing
