Jesse Ryder
New Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder, 23, is going to be out of playing cricket for at least three months after an incedent at christchurch bar early on sunday morning a few weeks ago. After getting very drunk he punched a glass window and got serious injuries on his hand. When Ryder was then admitted to Hospital he was said to have been abusing the Hospital staff and demanding to get immediate treatment for his Hand.
After finding out about this New Zealand Cricket was absolutely appalled. This made it even worse when they found that Ryder had been out drinking until 1.30 a.m. the night before the one day final between New Zealand and England at Christchurch on Saturday
I think that this is a very bad example for New Zealand. The fact that one of our cricket players would even be out drinking the night before a final is bad enough so 1.30 is just awful. Then also getting so drunk to cause such injury to his hand just chips in on making it even worse. I have also heard Ryder saying that he is able to control his drinking but to me this obviously shows that it is a problem. Surely he would have enough sense to stop the drinking before it gets this bad so I definitely think that his drinking is a big problem.
Is Ryder’s injury punishment enough for his behaviour?
I don’t think that it is- he has set a very bad example for New Zealand; he was out drinking the night before; he abused hospital staff and is not able to play cricket for three months at the least. So personally, it was his drinking that caused it so I dont think that his injury is enough punishment and
But thats only my opinion- Whats Yours?
