Two Australian fans ejected from Old Trafford after abusive tirade towards Jofra Archer
Lancashire threw two Australia fans out of Old Trafford yesterday for using “foul and abusive” language towards England fast bowler Jofra Archer.
The pair were stood below the England dressing room at the Brian Statham End and shouted sustained abuse at Archer while he was fielding during the Australia innings.
Among the insults shouted at Archer were “Jofra show us your passport” and other references to his Barbados heritage. Other supporters sitting close to the two men complained to stewards but eventually went to the police as it escalated. A Lancashire spokesman confirmed the two supporters were ejected from the ground with the club insisting they have a zero tolerance policy on abusive behaviour. Archer did not respond to the abuse but looked angered by the comments.
Last month the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, criticised England fans for booing Steve Smith and David Warner and the pair have had to cope with jeers wherever they have played this summer. Extra security was laid on for Warner when he worried about the safety of his family in England. However, trouble at England-Australia matches has been non-existent. The nastiest crowd incident this summer was fighting at Headingley between Pakistan and Afghanistan fans during a World Cup match.
The Archer incident summed up a frustrating day for everyone at Old Trafford as a showpiece occasion that had been widely anticipated since the drama of Headingley was ruined by the weather. Only 44 overs were bowled on a truncated day as rain and strong gusts of wind hit Manchester.
The umpires took the unusual decision to play without bails after they were constantly blown off the stumps by 40mph winds, causing Australian batsmen to pull away.
The umpires tried using heavy bails but they too fell off before a solution was found by hammering a nail into the bail to make them heavier.
Under law 8.5, the officials are allowed to sanction play without bails. They then have the power to decide when the stumps have been disturbed enough to warrant a dismissal.
“The one I pulled away for the bails fell off, so I had to pull away,” said Marnus Labuschagne. “Then the chip packets kept coming across the pitch and then a beach ball, so it was probably just frustrating for the game in general. It was very windy out there. I've never played a game where you've played with no bails so that was very different. It was pretty tough conditions.”
