“Ravi stood his ground and gestured to both the umpires on being given out,” Jeff Crowe, the match referee, said.
Sammy was reprimanded for pointing to his arm to suggest where the ball had struck him when the Indian fielders appealed for a catch. “Darren, who was eventually given not out, immediately looked to influence the umpire as to where the ball struck him,” Crowe added.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar’s appeal against a record seven million rupee (£51,000) fine imposed three years ago was adjourned until Sept 27 in a Lahore court yesterday .
“Akhtar’s lawyer had pleaded that the fine ended after a new Pakistan Cricket Board set-up took over in October 2008, but our stance is that there is no vacuum in the law and the fine still holds,” Taffazul Rizvi, the board’s legal adviser said.
Akhtar was banned in April 2008 for five years after several disciplinary incidents and for violating the conditions of a two-year probation period imposed for hitting a team-mate with a bat. The ban came after Akhtar publicly criticised the PCB for dropping him from a list of 15 players who were given central contracts. His suspension was later reduced to 18 months.
