I'm sure I saw another example this year where the batsman came out and straight away the umpire was on him before a ball was even bowled. As the commentator said, it was is if the umpires were tipped off. Cant for the life of me remember who it was.

Agree. I remember one coach of a team caught saying it was completely their fault as they have bat gauges in the changing room to measure so they only have themselves to blame if someone goes out with an oversized bat.

And yet Gloucestershire get no sanctions for the pitch they prepared which ended up in their championship match Being Abandoned. Surely poor quality pitches are a bigger issue in domestic cricket.

Isn't that still under investigation?

No way will they go unpunished. Points are docked for a poor pitch so some penalty has to occur for a dangerous one.
