#1 Jason Anderson and George O’Brien
One of the ugliest brawls in world cricket took place between two Bermuda club cricketers during the Country’s Champion of Champions final in 2015. The incident resulted in one of them being banned for life and other handed a lengthy suspension by the Bermuda Cricket Board.
At the end of an over during the game, Clevland County Cricket Club’s wicket-keeper Jason Anderson smashed Willow Cuts Cricket Club’s batsman George O’Brien on the head to spark off a massive fight. O’Brien swung his bat around Anderson who was calm for a moment but rushed towards the batsman immediately and pushed him to the ground. He then appeared to aim a kick at O’ Brien’s body as the pair had to be separated by a large number of players and match officials.
The Cleveland Club imposed many more sanctions on Anderson banning him from participating in any sporting activities for life. Writing in his column for The Royal Gazette, Cleveland coach Clay Smith revealed it was a new low in Bermuda cricket.
"Our standards of discipline have slipped tremendously, and what is deemed acceptable on the field of play is completely unacceptable," Smith wrote. "Too few players are being written up for what some may deem minor infractions.
"There is a solution to this madness, it just requires the Bermuda Cricket Board to implement the code of conduct that players are expected to play under at the ICC international level."
