Naughty,Naughty boy!!...Shame on you for insulting an umpire,i thought only Aussie's abused umpires...LOL
India's Patel fined for abusive language!!
India fast bowler Munaf Patel has been fined for verbally abusing an umpire during the second one-day cricket match against Sri Lanka.
The International Cricket Council has confirmed English match referee Chris Broad fined Patel 75 per cent of his match fee after he found the bowler guilty of using "language that is obscene, offensive or of a seriously insulting nature".
The team did not disclose Patel's match fee.
Patel pleaded not guilty to the charge during a disciplinary hearing but admitted to speaking aggressively to the umpire, the ICC said in a statement.
Patel argued with Sri Lankan umpire Gamini Silva after the official turned down an appeal for leg before wicket against batsman Nuwan Kulasekara during Sri Lanka's innings.
"I accept that in international cricket there is a lot of passion but that does not excuse players talking back to umpires in an aggressive manner, as happened in this case," Broad said.
"That is unacceptable and I hope this decision and the fine imposed demonstrates that fact."
Why was he such an un-happy boy then,does any one know what got him so angry?.After all India finally were in front in a match against Sri Lanka..
