They didnt spit on the umpire... just at his feet!
But I do agree.
I didn't really want to comment on this at all, but I have to back Browny up on this as I was a couple of metres from it when it happened.
There are some people commenting on a summarised statement of the incident that has been misinterpreted.
The player wasn't trying to spit on the umpire, he was 2 metres from him and spat at his feet in front of himself as a sign of disgust and disrespect. Still likely to get games when combined with the mooning and additional abuse, but a different ballpark to actually spitting on the ump and hardly worth a life ban as some have suggested.
