    Cricket Wellington is launching a disciplinary process after a brawl during a club match at the weekend

    Cricket Wellington is launching a disciplinary process after a brawl during a club match at the weekend


    Video footage shows Upper Hutt United and Hutt Districts players whacking each other with bats and stumps during a social T20 fixture at Trentham Park, bring new meaning beyond the MCC coaching manual to late cuts, back foot defences and leg glances.

    Photos show a grazed and reddened abdomen, bruised thighs and bandaged fingers.

    An anonymous player has told the ZB newsroom the melee came as a result of... an umpiring decision.
