England statistically the worst behaved team in world cricket

[Saj]

The Australian cricket team’s culture shift since the infamous ball-tampering scandal has paid dividends, with Justin Langer’s side among the sport’s best-behaved teams.

Since the Cape Town saga in March 2018, only two Australian men’s players have breached the ICC Code of Conduct — Zimbabwe is the only Test-playing nation with fewer breaches in that period.

Australian captain Tim Paine was fined 15 per cent of his match fee and given a demerit point after showing dissent to an umpire’s decision during the recent Test series against India.

And at the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England, spin bowler Adam Zampa was given a demerit point after stump mics picked up an audible obscenity during a one-day match against the West Indies.

These have been Australia’s only two ICC Code of Conduct breaches since Cameron Bancroft was reprimanded for “changing the condition of the ball” three years ago.

Comparatively, the Australian women’s team has breached the Code of Conduct on four occasions since April 2018, with Elyse Villani and Jess Jonassen the culprits.

A study by Wisden found that England has been charged for the most Code of Conduct breaches over the last three years, with the Ashes rivals accumulating 12 offences since April 2018.

This includes two for James Anderson, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow, while Test paceman Stuart Broad has registered three — the most of any cricketer in that period.

However, Bangladesh has been pinged more frequently than England when accounting for games played.

CODE OF CONDUCT BREACHES PER MATCH SINCE APRIL 2018

Bangladesh — 0.122 (9 total)

England — 0.109 (12 total)

West Indies — 0.073 (8 total)

Sri Lanka — 0.047 (4 total)

India — 0.042 (5 total)

South Africa — 0.038 (3 total)

New Zealand — 0.038 (3 total)

Afghanistan — 0.036 (2 total)

Ireland — 0.029 (2 total)

Pakistan — 0.019 (2 total)

Australia — 0.019 (2 total)

Zimbabwe — 0.018 (1 total)

All but one of England’s 12 breaches were classified as Level 1 — the lowest possible.

Five of England’s offences were for obscene language, most notably during last year’s Test series against South Africa.

English wicketkeeper Jos Buttler was overheard calling Proteas paceman Vernon Philander a “f***ing k***head”, while superstar allrounder Ben Stokes came under fire for brashly calling a spectator a “f***ing four-eyed c***”.

Broad’s three offences were each for directing inappropriate or offensive language at opponent players.

Bangladesh ones mostly would be from that Nidadhas trophy match against SRL.
That was really poor behaviour from them that day.

 

[Rana]

Lol Bangladesh have been out of control )

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not surprising at all.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Australia has the worst reputation so this is somewhat surprising.

The Bangladesh part is not though. By far the most emotional side. And they showcased some downright disgraceful behavior in that match against Sri Lanka in the T20 tri-series a few years back.

 

[Rafa]

Bangladesh doing too much Nagin Dance, must have been due to that.

 

[Gullycricket]

If ICC had guts to go after Kohli ,India would make it to top of this infamous ranking. People here love to hate Aussies for their past but they have been causing no troubles on field.

Can you list his so called demeanours which may warrant a response from ICC ?

 

[ElRaja]

should also give points for creative non explicit sledging, like dickwella against england. the little dramas within the tests makes the narrative more interested.

 

[Babeikh]

Yeah not surprised. England as a country has a superiority complex generally and I guess that feeds into their cricket team too (it has done throughout history, as you can see from their 'turn noses up' attitude towards other countries).

Also not surprised to see us so low - our team in the last few years has been quite tame. I'd actually like to see a bit more fire shown on the pitch from the likes of Hassan, Shaheen etc. Get into people's faces a bit, let them smell your breath. You can be nice to them off the pitch but not on it.

 

[Slim]

Honestly, i wish our boys dished out a little as well. No one cares about these ratings - its competitive sports, its meant to be intense!

 

[Robert]

So it appears that the current England team is most potty-mouthed in the world. An unenviable stat. The culture comes from the skipper so maybe Root should tell them to behave.

Interesting to note that England have never been sanctioned for ball-tampering though (the Atherton incident was for misleading the match referee, not for tampering). Maybe they are just craftier at it.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The stat about England is not too surprising.....the stat about Bangladesh should be the headline here. I never knew they were so passionate on the field.

With 12 code of conduct breaches in last 3 years, England in danger of crossing dreaded 'win-at-all-cost' line

Days after the infamous 'Sandpaper Gate rocked Australian cricket, then skipper Steve Smith had spoken about the 'win at all costs' culture which saw the team being told that nothing meant more than winning for the boys -- even if that meant crossing theline of fair play.
While Cricket Australia has undergone a complete changeover and the focus under coach Justin Langer and skippers Tim Paine (Test) and Aaron Finch (limited-overs) has been to play in line with the gentleman's spirit, what comes as a surprise is the number of times the English team has found itself on the wrong side of the line in the last three years.

The on-field behaviour of cricketers has in recent times come under severe scrutiny as television cameras and stump microphones pick every banter and verbal duel on the field of play. While some see the level of competition hitting a new high and giving fans exhilarating moments to cherish, others lead to Code of Conduct breaches.

The stakes are higher as the passion isn't restricted to just the 22 players on the field. Even fans don't wish to give away an inch and bragging rights play a huge role just not in the stands, but also on social media. And that can sometimes lead to a 'win at all cost' approach.

In a revealing stat as per ICC's official website, it has surfaced that England has recorded the most number of Code of Conduct breaches in the last three years. Since the start of April 2018, England has recorded 12 breaches of ICC's Code of Conduct and among these, James Anderson, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow have violated the rules on two occasions each.
Pacer Stuart Broad has violated the Code of Conduct on three different occasions. This is the most number of violations by any player and this is quite a shock as the veteran plays just one format of the game (Tests).

In August 2020, Broad saw 15 per cent of his match fee being deducted as he directed an inappropriate word at Pakistan's Yasir Shah after dismissing him. Earlier, in January 2020, Broad had seen a 15 per cent deduction in match fees after he went up to South Africa batsman Faf du Plessis and used inappropriate language which was caught by the stump mic.

In the same year, Ben Stokes directed obscene and offensive language towards spectators after being dismissed and he also saw his match fees being deducted. Most of England's violations have been considered as a Level 1 offence. Only, Jason Roy has once been found guilty of breaching a Level 2 offence.

In the 2019 Cricket World Cup semi-final against Australia, Roy expressed dissent after being given caught behind and this was considered to be a Level 2 offence. On the other hand, the Australia boys who had quite a reputation of sometimes using unruly measures to get under the opposition's skin, have successfully managed to change their standing after the 'Sandpaper Gate.

Since the fiasco in South Africa in 2018, Australia has breached the Code of Conduct just twice and it is a testament that Langer, Paine and Finch have been successful in getting Australia to play the game in
accordance with the gentleman's spirit.

These two breaches are the lowest number recorded by any team (tied with Afghanistan, Ireland, and Pakistan) after the Sandpaper Gate episode. If matches after the Sandpaper Gate are to be taken into consideration, India has breached ICC's Code of Conduct on five occasions.

India's latest ICC Code of Conduct breach was recorded in September 2019 after skipper Virat Kohli
made avoidable shoulder contact while taking a run with the Proteas bowler Beuran Hendricks. This was considered to be a Level 1 offence and Kohli was reprimanded for the act.

Agreed. A "mind the windows Tino" is infinitely better than a "get ready for a broken F....... Arm"

"Mind the Windows Tino" are the classy ones and make it all the more enjoyable. The mindless chatter that passes for mental disintegration are really cheap ones. It seems Wk now focus more on sledging than close in catching.

Well fighting with umpires during England test series which was disgusting tbh

England Lions Announce Squad for South Africa Training Camp and Four-Day Match Against South Africa A

The England Men's Lions have confirmed a 19-player squad to tour South Africa from 20 November to 14 December. The camp will focus on supporting the development of the highest potential players, with a focus on individualised and high-quality training. The tour will conclude with a four-day match against South Africa A in Western Province. The tour is designed to further develop England's talent pool across both formats and all skills.

England Lions Squad:

Farhan Ahmed (Nottinghamshire)
Zaman Akhtar (Gloucestershire)
Kasey Aldridge (Somerset)
Pat Brown (Derbyshire)
Jafer Chohan (Yorkshire) – part involvement
James Coles (Sussex)
Henry Crocombe (Sussex)
Josh Hull (Leicestershire)
Matt Hurst (Lancashire) – part involvement
Tom Lawes (Surrey)
Freddie McCann (Nottinghamshire)
Ben McKinney (Durham)
Harry Moore (Derbyshire)
Dan Mousley (Warwickshire)
Dillon Pennington (Nottinghamshire)
James Rew (Somerset)
Hamza Shaikh (Warwickshire)
Mitch Stanley (Lancashire)
John Turner (Hampshire)

The group includes six players – Jafer Chohan, Henry Crocombe, Matt Hurst, Freddie McCann, Harry Moore, and Mitch Stanley – who are experiencing their first Lions call-up.

Due to their Big Bash League commitments, Chohan, the Yorkshire leg-spinner, and Lancashire wicketkeeper-batter Hurst will join for part of the tour. Notably, Chohan, who this week was selected for the England white-ball squad for their tour of the West Indies, is the first graduate of the successful South Asian Cricket Academy to be selected for an England squad.

Four players have previously been involved in England’s senior squads: Pat Brown, Josh Hull, Dan Mousley, and Dillon Pennington. Derbyshire seamer Brown represented England at T20 level, with the last of his four caps coming in November 2019. Leicestershire seamer Hull earned his England Test debut last month at The Kia Oval against Sri Lanka.

This tour will mark the first for newly appointed England Lions Head Coach Andrew Flintoff. The former England international and current coach of the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred, will lead the Lions over the next 12 months.

England Men’s Lions Head Coach, Andrew Flintoff, commented:

“We’re delighted to have such a high-potential group of players heading to South Africa. In selecting these players, we have a mix of well-established performers who’ve been in the England setup and excelled in the domestic game, through to some of the most exciting young talent coming through.

“The camp will support and accelerate the players’ development, provide insight into various aspects of the international setup and aid their transition into future performance setups”.

England Men’s Performance Director, Ed Barney, commented:

“Selection aligns with England’s short and long-term needs across all formats, and we will continue supporting a group of exciting pace bowlers. Over half the squad consists of seamers, reflecting our continued focus on supporting these players to achieve their potential.

“We are also excited about the competitive match opportunities, with a four-day fixture against South Africa A offering the opportunity for the squad to enjoy putting their skills on show against strong opposition.”

If you take into account cricket started in the late 19th century and given Britain’s “behavior” towards most of the non-white folk back in the day, not the most surprising stat.curious what is the time range for this statistic?

 

[FearlessRoar]

England becomes the 7th team to play 200 T20Is

 

[mominsaigol]

No, India is the worst.behaved team of all time.

Nothing will top the whole burning down stadiums nonsense.
