India fined for slow over rate...

For one over. WTF. http://www.cricbuzz.com/index.php?option=com_cbznews&page=dtl&storyId=424 The International Cricket Council (ICC) Wednesday penalised India for a slow over rate during their World Cup first round defeat against Sri Lanka last week. "The Indian team bowled one over short during their stipulated time and hence the captain Rahul Dravid is fined ten percent of his match fee and every member is fined five percent," the ICC announced in a statement. India lost their crucial Group B match at Port of Spain by 69 runs, a defeat which virtually ruled them out of the World Cup on Friday. India's group rivals Bangladesh, to whom India lost their first match by five wickets, overwhelmed Bermuda two days later, to book their place in the Super Eights. India, champions in 1983 and runners-up in last World Cup held in South Africa in 2003, were ousted after losing two of their three matches -- their worst ever performance in the World Cup since the inaugural tournament in England in 1975.

Re: India fined for slow over rate... How about Indian sponsors asking their money back from ICC, since their major audience don't care about the cup much? :chin:
