For the second time in four months cricketers Detroy Smith, Macai Simmons and Khiry Furbert have been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and will now serve lengthy bans.The trio landed themselves in hot water with Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) for their alleged involvement in two heated confrontations that marred the Premier matches between St George’s and PHC last season.Smith has been banned from all cricket until November 1, 2014 while St George’s team-mate Simmons has been banned until May 1, 2013.PHC player, Furbert, has been until June 14, 2013.The trio were originally served with bans ranging from three-years to nine months after being found guilty of bringing the gentlemen’s game into disrepute last September.“I am naturally disappointed that we still have behaviour that warrants such actions,” commented then BCB president Reggie Pearman after the original sanctions had been imposed on the trio.“Nevertheless, the BCB will always stand firm to protect our great game and the spirit in which our national sport should be played.”St George’s and PHC successfully appealed against the original sanctions that were meted out to their players.However, the BCB decided that the trio’s cases should be reheard by a disciplinary committee which has evidently made it perfectly clear that unruly behaviour in the local game will no longer be tolerated.Smith, Simmons and Furbert were allegedly involved in angry confrontations that threatened to get nasty prior to last season’s Premier games at Wellington Oval on July 3 and at PHC Field on August 24.The second incident, which saw Police scrambled to the scene, is believed to have sprung the BCB into action after the first report from umpires Bobby Smith and Caleb John-Pierre was seemingly ignored.When contacted, officials from St George’s and PHC said they do not intend to appeal any further against the sanctions imposed on their players whose careers have now been put on hold.
