Australia fined for slow over-rate in Mohali ODI | The Australian team has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during their 24-run victory over India in the fourth ODI at Mohali on Tuesday. Chris Broad of the Emirates Elite
Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Ricky Ponting's side was ruled
to be two overs short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances
were taken into consideration. In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations
governing over-rate penalties, players are fined five per cent of their match
fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain
fined double that amount. As such, Ponting was fined 20 per cent of his match
fee while his players received 10-per-cent fines. The offence is contrary to Section
J of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to slow over-rates. For such offences,
the decision of the ICC match referee is final and binding. |
