Oscar the Grouch Dec 2021 2:11pm, 3 Dec 2021 3,890 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch I'm sure a clear out was needed. This looks like summary dismissal. I suspect they'd appeal due to lack of process/evidence. Otherwise, I don't see how any of them work again. I am not for a moment supporting their actions as coaches and broadly support the move. What I am reflecting on, is if this actually will drag the process out in the long run. However, I think this is decisive action. bbc.co.uk

Cerrertonia Dec 2021 2:47pm, 3 Dec 2021 15,143 posts	0 Cerrertonia I'm sure a clear out was needed. This looks like summary dismissal. I suspect they'd appeal due to lack of process/evidence. Severance packages involved, AIUI. No resignation statements though. Presumably offered the choice of take the money, sign an NDA, or take your chances with a tribunal and the court of public opinion. Think I'm right in saying that Ballance is the only current player named in the report, and he's not leaving.

Surrey Phil Dec 2021 11:05am, 4 Dec 2021 7,699 posts	0 Surrey Phil Almost unheard of years ago, in that a Patel bowls out India. I must confess that I thought he was playing India against New Zealand. How ignorant am I? A great achievement nevertheless (two bowled, three LBW and five caught).
