Arthur Crabtree wrote:It doesn't matter whether or not there is a match ref. There are rules that govern whether Williamson could bowl on waiting for his test. Senanayake bowled for SL after being sent for testing. Even the ethical issue is only opinion. Williamson was allowed to bowl. Wrongly in my view. And even if the ECB allowed him to bowl, Yorks still could have decided not to. And declined the right to bowl him. But that was their decision.
I hope Yorks didn't go into the game intending to not bowl him, and then changed their minds when they needed a wicket. I've got a feeling he broke a big stand against Warks.

That team being Worcestershire?
Arthur Crabtree wrote:Seeing as how the ECB hasn't indicated that there was anything wrong with KW bowling up until his test, it seems reasonable to assume that they allowed it, either actually, or by implication.
Arthur Crabtree wrote:Anyway, I basically don't see how if it wasn't against the rules to do as Yorkshire did, how they can be punished for it. But I'm going round for the second time, so I'll shut up.

In my view, he has contributed to their net team output, so surely this has created an unfair advantage, even if most times he is bowling to give others a rest!!
Would a relay team who fielded a drugged up athlete be able to keep their medals if the other three are clean?
Surely Yorkshire should be docked some points?
