Suresh Raina fined for showing dissent

[VRV Singh]

Shaking of the head and looking at the sky is the most useless rationale to charge someone, do they expect these guys to be completely emotionless. Neither Bravo nor Raina merit a fine, we see this stuff all the time

Bad Boy Raina...

Neither Bravo nor Raina merit a fine, we see this stuff all the time[/quote'] I agree neither merits a fine - but its laughable that Raina gets punished while Bravo doesn't, despite doing the same thing just two hours later.

.. should have said ma***********

Now a batsman cant look up in the sky for getting a bad decision or shake his head..otherwise he will get fine. What abt batsman who get correct decision...& then they look up in the sky...or shake their head when they walk off? Will they be fined also. What abt batsman who are coming next & look up in the sky before taking strike...or after scoring 100?

[yoda]

Looking at the sky and shaking head, WTF!

[CoverDrive]

Two words.....Chris Broad

[Desi Cartman]

Bigger question is, why are Indians accepting these charges ?

[asterix]

Bigger question is' date=' why are Indians accepting these charges ?[/quote'] Dhoni..He must've asked Raina to accept it and 'not to create and issue'.. If only we had Dhoni as captain during Sydneygate..

[mishra]

I think we dont want any controversy in Cariibean. Man, weather and beaches, think about that. Why would anyone want to give 2 mins to Broad if he can hit the Carribean beaches right after the game

[The Realist]

Never mind Harper, how does one flush a turd like Broad away? India really needs to start producing some umpires as don't seem to exist at international level.

[achilles]

Broad must be pulling some real strings, for all the people who've messed with India seem to be lead to their homes for a good retirement life. As for the fining, someone needs to remind him how he "forgives" Ricky Ponting, who responds like this 9/10 times. Maybe Raina didn't offer him a customary Beer to "keep things on the field"

[Stuge]

Generally speaking' date=' dissent and verbal abuse etc are against a person and all that breaking TV or glass is not directed at anyone. Thats why the latter gets a reprieve. In the case of tod fod, the fines are lesser than those for abusing someone, but you obviously have to compensate for the damaged goods.[/quote'] Who gave you that explanation ? Chris broad :hysterical::hysterical:

[akshayxyz]

WTF is wrong with these referees??? Batsmen are not cattle or slaves, that they can not even express disappointment.

[saneindian]

Dhoni..He must've asked Raina to accept it and 'not to create and issue'.. If only we had Dhoni as captain during Sydneygate..

We would have won that series 2-0 or 2-1 :--D

[ganeshran]

I dont mind these rules being enforced. Discipline is an important part of the game. However there should be consistency in the enforcement and every dissenting batsman should be punished,

Sachin better change his celebration after his next ton

[gaurav92]

:headshake: Raina shouldn't be fined as he was disappointed. But again, if we are not choosing DRS, we better get used to such decisions without showing much disappointment. But the fine is shocking. Raina should have rather showed :thefinger: and then given the fine as it would have been "Paisa Wasool" :cantstop:
