Daryl Tuffey, the man nicknamed after Police Academy's High Tower, is certainly good enough to be in contention for a recall if all the respective parties allow him back due to his links to the ICL. Paul Holden is one of his backers. He also explains why Tuffey isn't the luckiest bloke around, in his blog Sideline Slogger for stuff.co.nz
There was the infamous "milkshake incident" that resulted in the governing body hanging him out to dry with a release to the world's cricketing media announcing an independent inquisition by Hugh Rennie QC, an over-the-top disciplinary hearing, and a needless fine of $1000 for breaching his contract and "bringing the game of cricket into disrepute". All for the sake of a home video which he admitted existed, although it never saw the light of day and was never in the league of Pam and Tommy proportions (?!) anyway. The worst element here was the genuine lack of support for a player who had made a mistake and could have done with a hand rather than all-out vilification.
