Banned for hitting a can

I can't help feeling sorry for Lionel Cann of Bermuda - I'm not really prone to angry outbursts having got out, although slow trudges off and glances back at the umpire are more my style. But a lot of players I've played with have hit cans, hit bags, thrown their bat etc etc etc to vent frustration having got (what they perceived to be) a bad decision.

Nasser Hussain was famously filmed stamping on a set of crutches in frustration - I don't remember anything happening to him in terms of match bans. And yet here Lionel Cann has been sent home! I can't help thinking this can't be his first problem!

At least his name is appropriate!
