The father of St.David?s and St.George?s Cup Match fast bowler George O?Brien Jr. has lashed out over Bermuda Cricket Board?s (BCB) decision to send Stephen Outerbridge to a 11-week Winter Training Camp in South Africa ? despite the latter?s on-field shenanigans with his son during this summer?s classic at Wellington Oval.

It was disclosed this week that Outerbridge and Bailey?s Bay team-mate Jim West and Somerset?s Azeem Pitcher have been chosen to attend the ICC Camp while O?Brien?s resources have gone untapped.

While not condoning either players? actions during Cup Match, George O?Brien Sr. claims his son has been treated unfairly while Outerbridge has seemingly been let off the hook.

And, according to the former Boulevard ?keeper and senior referee, ?enough is enough?.

?I am really annoyed about this because again it appears as though George is paying the bulk of the price. I think if George has to pay the penalty then he (Outerbridge) should also have to pay for his part,? he argued.

?I am just very disappointed because in every action there?s a reaction. Yes, my son (pictured) taunted Stephen but he had no right spitting on him. The reaction came from the spitting incident but everyone looks at my son as though he was the main culprit. And to add insult to injury they (BCB) are now sending this young man (Outerbridge) to South Africa.

?There just seems to be no end to this sort of thing and I?m really getting tired of it because my son keeps coming to me looking for answers. Stephen does wrong but he still gets picked and I really don?t understand it.

?I don?t know who is involved with the matter at the BCB but it makes me bitter inside.?

The two players were involved in an nasty flare up ? witnessed by thousands late on the second-day of Cup Match ? in which colt O?Brien punched Outerbridge in the helmet after the latter had spat on the bowler upon his dismissal.

However it emerged yesterday that while it has yet to be confirmed, the Board?s decision to send Outerbridge overseas might have hinged heavily upon two key factors ? Somerset Cricket Club?s undisclosed punishment of their player and O?Brien?s history of disciplinary problems. There is also some suggestion that Outerbridge was selected due to the problems Bermuda are experiencing at the top of their batting order.

Following heavy public outcry over the Cup Match incident, the two opposing players apologised on national TV for their on-field antics which also drew criticism from legendary St.George?s Cup Match bowler Clarence Parfitt.

?That?s not enough. Apologising is a start but you still have to deal with it because it?s an embarrassment to Bermuda,? he told .

?You had young kids out there watching the match and they have to lead by example because they are role models for the kids coming up.?

O?Brien Jr. was subsequently overlooked for ICC Intercontinental Cup selection and Cup Match MVP honours despite his overall match haul of 11 wickets on his debut in the annual classic.

?It seems as though George is still being punished while others are moving ahead,? O?Brien Sr. added.

When contacted over the matter, a BCB spokesperson stated: ?The BCB and other participating countries have been instructed not to comment on the participants for the training camp until the ICC makes an official announcement later this week.?
