Randiv and Dilshan receive 100% match fees. Randiv also gets one match ban

[Rajan]

what an hypocrite, talks eloquently about " the way he plays his cricket" and next match barges in to a bowler. wish he gets banned.arrogant idiot. bangs intentionally in to the back of the bowler who was not even aware of sanga running in to him.sanga nanga should have just shut up and apologised but sanga nanga playacted as is his wont.deserves a ban, nothing else. --------------------------------------------------------- 26.5 McCullum to Sangakkara, FOUR, lands this just outside leg and Sanga plays a very fine leg glance. But drama .. Sanga was looking to turn for the second run and he bumped into Nathan who had his back to Sanga ... Nathan protests to the umpire.. Sanga too has a few words to say... The umpires intervene . All under control now. ------------------------------------------------------------

:phehehe: Ban??

:haha::hysterical::giggle: ICF missed The Satyam @ Rajan... Sanga won't whine about this. NZ is white, you see and blaming India is the fashionable thing to do, not NZ. The fact that Sanga got hauled up for quite a minor incident like this shows the difference in perception of the umpires, who would've rubbished an Indian bowlers' similar appeal but swiftly addressed Nathan's concerns.

Kumar Sangakkara was found not guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct after colliding with offspinner Nathan McCullum during the abandoned ODI against New Zealand in Dambulla. He had been initially charged with breaking clause 2.2.4 which deals with "inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between Players in the course of play during an International Match". But match referee Alan Hurst cleared him of any offence. The incident occurred in the 27th over of the Sri Lankan innings. Sangakkara guided a McCullum delivery to fine leg and set off for a run. He was turning for the second when he bumped into the bowler, who had his back to Sangakkara. McCullum complained to the umpire and Sangakkara also had words with him. Had Sangakkara been found guilty, he could have been fined between 50 to 100% of his match fee and/or handed two suspension points (a ban of a Test or two ODIs or two Twenty20s). "I looked at video footage of the incident from various angles and considered the detailed evidence of the umpires. I found that video evidence that was put forward by the player provided reasonable doubt as to whether the contact was deliberate," Hurst said. Mahela Jayawardene defended his captain after the match. "I saw the replay afterwards. Sanga was blind when he turned around," he said. "I think you just need to concentrate on cricket rather than all the other things." He said the two players spoke to each other about the collision after the match. "Both the guys came and had a good chat in the dressing room. It's done and dusted.

Talking about whites, wht u guys would do in ICF if SL or PAK bowler said 'f**k off' to Shewag like Kile Mils did? :hmmmm: Haven't you see Nathan's act in the first SL-NZ match where he pushed Tharanga from his shoulders (while sledging all the time)? Tharanga didn't complain to the umpires, did nothing and continue to concentrate on his batting. In this incident, again Nathan first sledged Sanga before Sanga's reaction (I think it was intentional :winky:). But it has a link to that first match incident. I mean WTF with Nathan idiot to behave in that way against a player like Tharanga who is a very calm character. Poor Sanga while taking all the blames (even from SL medias), try to stand-up against the opponent's aggression not for himself but for his players. Hat's off to u Sanga. :hatsoff: On the other hand, I like all the players in the team to be more aggressive rather than waiting for their captain to take all the challenges. Because that'll put extra pressure on Sanaga who is a key batsman in the team. :nervous:

We don't hide behind board: Sangakkara We don't hide behind board: Sangakkara

DAMBULLA: With all his talk about upholding the spirit of the game, it was ironic that Kumar Sangakkara found himself being summoned by the match referee after Friday's washout. He was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing after being charged with a Level 2 offence, with Alan Hurst finding him "not guilty" of breaching the code of conduct after a collision and exchange of words with Kiwi Nathan McCullum. Hurst said there was "reasonable doubt" whether Sangakkara's act was "deliberate". The Lankan skipper, though, seemed unusually voluble after the let-off, making his displeasure clear over the fact that McCullum too had not been summoned for the hearing. In what seemed like yet another dig at the Indian cricketers, he also said "we don't hide behind the Board and we don't hide behind the media" when it came to being hauled up for creating unpleasantness. He added: "If we make a mistake we take the responsibility. If it's serious, we take it on the chin. We take it like men and move on." The sparks, clearly, are flying heading into Sunday's clash against MS Dhoni's men, and Sanga's comments since the Randiv flare-up have been a marked contrast to the usually staid diplomatic words mouthed by other top cricketers. "For some reason McCullum was obstructing my way. Sometimes bowlers tend to do this to deny the batsman a comfortable second run," he said, "I had no way of avoiding the collision. I tried my best to make sure the bat was away from Nathan, or I could have done him an injury. If I had run around him I could have been run out. Unfortunately it came to a funny situation where only I had to defend myself (following the exchange). In a situation like this, it should be either both players who are summoned or the video footage should be looked at beforehand." McCullum, incidentally, sparked off the exchange, and Sangakkara found restraint hard to come by and reacted. Eventually, the Kiwi took an excellent catch to dismiss the batsman, sparking off a round of rather melodramatic fist-pumping. "He (Hurst) did ask me whether McCullum did it intentionally," said Sanga, "I said I don't want to comment on any other player. Sometimes players are ruled LBW, they show the bat and no action is taken. Yesterday's incident, it was without seeing whose fault it was and without seeing the footage (that I was summoned)," said an agitated Sangakkara. This isn't the first time that the ICC finds itself being lambasted for charging a player from the subcontinent while letting off the opposition. Asked if too much was being made about players having to uphold the "spirit of the game" in pressure situations on the field, the Lankan skipper reiterated why playing in the right manner was important: "At the end of the day it's a perception, an idea. It's a funny thing. In Sri Lanka's schools, we have been brought up to play the right way, not argue with the umpires. It's important that you do that even in the fiercest of competitions. At the end of the day, you can be the best cricketer but if it doesn't give you the respect of being a good person, no one will value that."

And now the mofu is taking a dig at Indians saying we don't hide behind our board or media. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/sri-lanka-tri-series/top-stories/We-dont-hide-behind-board-Sangakkara/articleshow/6389544.cms In what seemed like yet another dig at the Indian cricketers, he also said "we don't hide behind the Board and we don't hide behind the media" when it came to being hauled up for creating unpleasantness. He added: "If we make a mistake we take the responsibility. If it's serious, we take it on the chin. We take it like men and move on." What an absolute disgrace this guy is proving to be for Lankan cricket. Not too long before Mahela comes back as the captain.

You don't need to respond all the time. When was the last time Rahul Dravid or Sachin Tendulkar actually responded to sledging, swears or physical contact?
