An MCC member has been banned for life and another two copped suspensions for “abusive, offensive or inappropriate behaviour or language” during this year’s Ashes Test at Lord’s.hurling abuse at Australia’s cricketers“Some of the stuff that was coming out of the members’ mouths was really disappointing. I wasn’t just going to stand by and cop it, so I just talked to a few of them.“It was pretty disrespectful to be honest. I was expecting a lot better from the members.
“It is alleged players and staff from the Australian team were verbally abused, with some being physically contacted as they made their way to lunch through the members area,” CA said in a statement at the time. The MCC later announced that three members had been suspended and would not be permitted back to Lord’s while an investigation takes place.
