Just read the article below about Williamson getting a three match ban. This bit of it I dont get "Despite being found guilty after contesting the charge, Williamson escaped a possible extended ban." I thought the rule was that if you were found guilty then you would automatically get an extended ban for appealing it. Im sure we havent appealed something in the past becuase of this rule, so why is it different in this case?
