urbestfriend Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Poor Warne has been fined $50,000, too heavy fine, I feel, for a innocuous remark :mad: Shane Warne has been fined US$50,000 by the BCCI but was spared a ban for his public spat with Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) secretary Sanjay Dixit over changing of pitches in Jaipur during the IPL. On Tuesday the pair faced an IPL commission, comprising Ravi Shastri and league chairman Chirayu Amin, which ruled Warne to be in "serious breach of his IPL playing contract" for criticising Dixit. The RCA had complained to the BCCI and IPL that Warne reportedly abused Dixit after his team's loss to Bangalore in Jaipur last week. The pitch used for that game, and the previous one against Chennai Super Kings, was different from the one Warne's team had enjoyed a strong home advantage on. In taking its decision the commission took into account Warne's apology to Dixit and his status as one of the all-time greats of the game. "It (the Commission) regards the public criticism of Mr. Dixit as being a serious breach by Mr. Warne of his IPL playing contract," a BCCI release said. "However, at the same time, the Commission also recognises that Mr. Warne has apologised to Mr. Dixit, and that the incident occurred just after the match. In addition, the Commission is cognisant of the contribution to the game of cricket in general, and to the Indian Premier League, which has been made by Mr. Warne." The Commission also said that further breaches could result in a fine, a match ban or points deduction for the player's team, or a combination of the three. Since the pitch was changed on May 9, Warne and Dixit have engaged in a war of words that has been fought in public, private and through the media. The hearing in Mumbai followed RCA's rejection of an apology offered by the Rajasthan franchise, with the state board also threatening further action if the matter was not resolved to its satisfaction http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/current/story/515681
urbestfriend Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 Meanwhile Sanjay Dixit and Lalit modi are fighting it out in Twitter. Dixits tweets: LKM's paid servants have lost steam. Going off to sleep. Have to get up early tomorrow. Good Night Dixit has also released Modi's bail plea for his charges on drug trafficking. http://twitdoc.com/upload/sanjay_dixit/modi-indictment-and-guilty-plea.pdf
urbestfriend Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 Arre yaar, yeh chitchat mein kaise aaya :nervous: Mods, move it to IPL forum.
ganeshran Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Sanjay Dixit seems like an attention wh_0re to me.. always picking fights or making controversial statements to stay in the limelight.
asterix Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 :rr: will happily foot the bill.. Sanjay Dixit's come uppance will come..
The Outsider Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Actually, this is one aspect in which I like IPL - the monetary fines and penalties they impose actually carry some meaning. Contrast that to the ICC fines of 10-20% of the match fees.
gaurav92 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 र 23 lakhs :ohmy: But Warne deserves it for loosing his cool.

urbestfriend Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 :rr: will happily foot the bill.. Sanjay Dixit's come uppance will come.. I don't think so. It is Warne's fault, so :rr: will not foot the bill.

People are ready to give up 10, 20 and even 50% of the match fee and break the rule. If they can somehow get players banned for a few ODIs, Tests, there might be some sort of improvement in maintaining the spirit of the game.
saneindian Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Did the BCCI let off this foul mouthed idiot Sanjay Dixit?
Prakat Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 This guy is behaving like a total tool. RR is out of contention, no more matches in Jaipur this IPL and Warne is not coming back to the IPL. What is the point of all this now?

But, I am pretty sure RR recognize Warne's importance not only for his contribution to their franchise but the future benefits they can get out of it - they have aimed for a global Royals' franchise and Hampshire and Victoria are two of the teams they are planning to engage in the tie up, both closely related with Warne.

Must be the high-point of Dixit's life. Good to hear about the tie-ups for RR. Wondering what a player like Cameron White woud do, if the DC and the Victorians both qualify for the CL. Would think that VB would come first.
SachDan Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 What did Warne say actually? http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=266056
Vijay.Sharma Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=266056WTF? For calling him a "liar and egoistic" 50k? O well, like I care...make him pay even more, I say! High time dem Aussie buggers started paying up for their "hard but fair" tactics. If ICC don't make them pay for all their tripe disguised as "hard but fair", then BCCI shall do it...LOL! By the way, who gets the dough? The 50k? BCCI? And what happens if Warne sez :finger: and dunn pay up?
