Here’s the video, which doesn’t even include the comments Curran said to the umpire, along with Lisa Sthalekar’s massive wad of bullshit defending the indefensible and trying to blame the umpire:

Clearly a 4-match suspension isn’t enough of a deterrent for an incident as brazen as that, especially for a marquee player who, while being the second-best player in his family, has years of experience in international cricket…

In fact, we as a nation should be going one step further and getting the Department of Home Affairs involved by having Curran deported from the country.

That way we can create a ratings bonanza for Channel 7 by cross-promoting the Big Bash League into an episode of Border Security.

See?

Everyone can be a winner in this scenario… except the Sydney Sixers, who can go and get stuffed.

Fun fact that might get a laugh – The great Shane Watson once allegedly called Tom Curran a “****ing pie thrower” after Curran dismissed him during an IPL game 5 years ago.

Classic Australian, sledging the bloke that’s just dismissed you.
