Said "F*ck off" to Stokes after getting him out.

 

A fine would have been enough IMO

He told Stokes to "* Off" after getting him out. This infraction plus his priors has resulted in him being banned for the next test.

'Brain fade'

 

One rule for white players one rule for black/asian players.

No Steyn and now no Rabada. Root might get a triple century next match. 

[Cricketics]

Guys the system has changed now, you don't get banned by one offense. Now you get points for every offense you commit and then in few years if you have certain number of points, you get banned.

 

So he did not just get banned for what he did to Stokes, he just gained some demerit points to add to his tally and hence was officially banned for the next test as he had enough points to be banned.

 

That said, you shouldn't get any point for such little thing, its not that he went in front of him and showed him the way to the pavilion.

 

 

 

Here is the new demerit points system

No answer needed as this is a rhetorical question :)

Why would they need to release a tape when it was fully audible on live TV.

OMG

No one can escape the wrath of England. Poor Rabada is paying the price now.. Disgusting from ICC.

[Scar]

ICC acts like a wannabe strict master who only take action against the students who are not having powerful enough background while keeps mums over bullies as they are inviolable. Where was this pharisaical ICC when clarke ordered a broken effing arm for Anderson?

Looks like memories of friendly against Africans in runup to CT is still fresh for English. But still, Rabada should have been carefull

This is literally the only place making a fuss of this (and Cricinfo comments but that goes without saying). SA have accepted it, no one in the England camp were bothered, especially Stokes who hears it all the time and loves it. They most likely didn't know about the ban until it was announced by the ICC yet the comments here suggest they were forcing the punishment through which I can guarantee was not the case. Any excuse to have a go at England though!

Most people here are pretty neutral when it comes to England and RSA.

 

Also this is not the "only place making a fuss". There is a similar sentiment on other forums not to mention your own Sky Commentators don't like it much either.
