Windies fined for slow over rate
Georgetown (Guyana) | April 04, 2007 1:15:24 AM IST
The West Indies team has been fined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for its slow over rate in a Super Eight match of the World Cup with Sri Lanka here. The West Indies lost by 113 runs. Match referee Jeff Crowe imposed the fine after Brian Lara's side was ruled to be two overs short of its target at the scheduled finish of the Sri Lanka innings when time allowances were taken into consideration during the Sunday match. In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing over-rate penalties, players are fined five percent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount. So as per the code, Lara was been fined 20 percent of his match fee while the other players were penalised 10 percent. (IANS)
