Australia fined for slow over-rate in Nagpur
November 10th, 2008 - 9:47 pm ICT by ANIDubai, Nov 10 (ANI): The Australia team has been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during its 172-run defeat against India in the fourth Test played.
Chris Broad of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Ricky Pontings side was ruled to be two overs short of its target 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 have each 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. (ANI)
