Controversy

edit

Findlay was widely criticised in January 2014 for scoring 307 runs off 115 balls after being dropped on 40, against a school cricket team of 15- and 16-year-olds competing in a senior men's division. A member of the public said, "That CEO should be nurturing these players not trying to show off and have his score on back page."[4]
