Cricket bad boy Jason Anderson has found himself firmly wedged between a rock and a hard place.

The temperamental player recently had an intended transfer from St.George's Cricket Club to neighbouring Bailey's Bay rejected by Bay officials.

And at a Bermuda Cricket Board meeting held last week, the player had a request for another move to Premier Division club PHC turned down by a special Bermuda Cricket Board committee.

This means that Anderson has run out of options and will again have to sit out the entire season which got underway last weekend.

The former St.George's wicketkeeper was slapped with a one year suspension by the BCB for bringing the game into disrepute. Anderson was involved in a heated on-field verbal spat with former colleague Kameron Fox during a 2001 league contest at Sea Breeze Oval against Bailey's Bay. That incident followed closely on the heels of another distasteful episode where Anderson - making his debut in Cup Match for St.George's at Wellington Oval - exited the pitch after he was dismissed on the opposite side of the clubhouse, much to everyone's bewilderment.

He has also served out other suspensions for various on-field incidents in the past and is now understood to be serving out a lengthy ban imposed by St.George's Cricket Club officials for an off-field incident that occurred on the club's premises.

"Jason had appealed his transfer and he got turned down," confirmed a BCB spokesperson yesterday.

"That now means he has to stay with St.George's. PHC had written in asking us if he could instead join them but the transfer deadline was March 31 so he won't be able to play for them this season."

However, with the ban at St.George's applied, it's also highly unlikely that Anderson will return to the east end club who picked up their first two wins of the season against Southampton and St.David's over the weekend.

Also coming up with the short end of the stick were PHC who would have certainly cashed in on the player's arrival at the Warwick-based club.

"He has been training with us for the past few weeks and it would have been nice if we could have obtained his services," said a PHC spokesperson, who confirmed that negotiations between the club and the BCB had been held in a desperate attempt to acquire Anderson's services.

"Despite all of the things that he has been through in the past we didn't encounter any problems with him and it's just sad that he will have to wait another year to prove that he is a changed person. We all make mistakes. And nobody is perfect."
