Mohali, Nov 3 The Australian cricket team was today
fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during the fourth
one-dayer against India here.
Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, Chris Broad
imposed the fines after Ricky Ponting's side was ruled to be
two overs short of its target at the end of the match, which
Australia won by 24 runs yesterday.
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. - (Agencies)
