Watson gets paltry 15%fine

[EnterTheVoid]

A fine of 15 %, I feel, is too leniant considering how Watson was needlessly and un necessarily carrying on; I think Watson, with his over the top antics, is trying to be too agreesive for his own good, a bit like Sreesanth.

Just 15% match fees :omg:.This is the height of Black-White Policy of ICC

**** Watson is an idiot. Ponting is just standing there going WTF as I think most people who were watching at the time were also doing.

Which would explain why he had stern words to him after it..

[StriKe]

Watson is the new Sreesanth

[Desi Cartman]

Sree, Hayden , Watson , Symo, Bhajji .. all these players are in the same category

[gaurav92]

Watson is the new Sreesanth

No mate, hes even better than Sreesanth.Almost a modified and advanced version of Sreesanth

Just wondering what did Sreesanth get fined for his pitch banging celebration after getting out Hayden?

[gult]

Wasn't Zaheer fined 80% of his match fee for giving send off to hayden? He also pleaded guilty. For watson, this is not the first time and should have been given severe punishment. It seems the Aussies are more equal than others.

[rainy day]

Is it me or was that a truly WTF statement from the referee "Shane is a very energetic and enthusiastic bowler" Is he his lawyer or something ?

[gult]

Watson is a jerk. Very childish. Gayle should have smacked him in his face rightaway.

[bhanu]

i have seen him mad some time ago...this guy acts like a f**king chucky doll

If you are white' date=' you get fined less.[/quote']

In other words, nothing, race - wise, has changed since the colonial days, which if memory serves me correctly was some, oh let me think, ... , some 100 years ago - It was white versus black than and supposedly seems to be the case now. Tough call punters. :sniffle:

You hit the nail on the head there. He is almost trying to justify. That's so ridiculous. And I can understand a fine for someone who does something in the heat of the moment. But for the idiots who intentionally do things and carry on and are repeat offenders, to fine them is equivalent to giving them a license to do whatever they want for a fee. F**king racists.

That Watson reaction nearly spooked me out... what the eff was he doing there? Even Punter who ran toward him to celebrate seemed a bit shocked buy it. P.S; Remember the Ishant send-off to Symonds after dismissing him off a slower ball in the CB series in 2008? He was charged with a similar offence and fined 15% of his match fee also.
