A man who beat up two opponents during a Dunedin social sports match has been told by a judge: "That's not cricket".
William John Campbell, 39, now waits to find out whether he will be able to play the game in the region again.
One of the men he attacked in front of the man's young daughter during the Monday twilight cricket game said he would find it extremely concerning if a lifetime ban was not imposed.
