Saying no to Hawk-Eye & then having a go at umpires is plain stupid. He needs to cool down.

No it isn't. With the 2.5M rule the decision on field stays, so your point doesn't make any sense.

[Shawn]

No it isn't. With the 2.5M rule the decision on field stays' date=' so your point doesn't make any sense.[/quote'] You haven't understood my point. Point is Praveen wouldn't have gone into an extended conversation with the umpire if HE was there because he could have asked for a review.

That shows praveen's immaturity more than anything else. You need discipline more than Hawkeye in that case.

Exactly, instead of changing it's stance, management should try to change/control players.

[veer]

PK needs to mature a bit.. he has skills but not temperament to be a test bowler.. need lot of patience here..

[Blue Panther]

I like this aggressive approach. I want this aggression even if pk gets banned. Asian umpires were always treated bad by these english players, time to give it back. Because of bcci he wont get banned either.

[Cricketics]

No. He should get a honorary doctorate.

Chris Broad charges Kumar with 'conduct unbecoming of even my own family' Following a sickening show of dissent at Trent Bridge this morning, Indian welterweight Praveen Kumar has been charged with "conduct unbecoming of even my own family," by ICC head of morality Chris Broad. The new law, which applies to all cricketers except those in the Sky commentary box, has been introduced to ensure a certain level of hypocrisy is maintained at all times throughout the current England India series. Upset at having an LBW appeal turned down by Marais Erasmus, the usually mild-mannered Kumar was then seen to tweek the South African umpire's nipples really hard, spray deep heat in his underpants and advise him where to stick his 'fat concrete finger'. An even uglier scene was only averted due to one of the world's leading dispute resolution specialists surprisingly being on the field of play at the same time. "I'm not a hero," said a Mr H Singh, as he played down the incident and winked at Sreesanth. Speaking from Dubai after consultation with leading disciplinarians David Gower and Ian Botham, Broad confirmed that Kumar would be charged and that the most likely punishment would be a course of blonde highlights and intensive pout rehabilitation treatment.

Praveen Kumar fined for arguing with umpire ESPN Cricinfo http://es.pn/nvS41v

Praveen Kumar, the India seamer, has been fined 20% of his match fee for arguing with umpire Marais Erasmus over an unsuccessful lbw appeal on the first day at Trent Bridge. Praveen pleaded guilty to the charge of a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct. The incident occurred in the 18th over of the day, during which Praveen appealed for a leg before against Kevin Pietersen. Erasmus turned it down. Praveen was disappointed by the decision and argued with Erasmus before being ushered away by Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina. Pietersen had been struck in line and, though he had made a big stride forward, replays suggested the ball would have clipped the bails. The absence of DRS for lbws during this series, at India's insistence, denied Praveen a chance of a referral. Praveen was found to have breached Article 2.1.3 of the Code of Conduct, which relates to "arguing or entering into a prolonged discussion with the umpire about his decision." Praveen admitted to the breach and accepted the fine imposed by match referee Ranjan Madugalle. Praveen bounced back later and bowled an outstanding spell of 6-4-7-2. He removed Andrew Strauss, for 32, and Eoin Morgan in the space of three deliveries. He could have had Ian Bell's wicket had Rahul Dravid not spilled an easy chance at first slip. Earlier in the day, MS Dhoni had given the new ball to Praveen on an overcast morning despite Sreesanth being in the side in place of Zaheer Khan. Praveen swung the new ball both ways and made use of the two-paced pitch with the old ball. He dismissed Graeme Swann with a ball that reared from a length and smashed the glove before lobbing to gully. In his short Test career, Praveen has had several run-ins with umpires. Billy Bowden warned him at Lord's for running on the danger area of the pitch. Praveen had been removed from the attack for a similar offence in the first Test in the West Indies after two warnings from Daryl Harper.

Erasmus, you sensitive lil racist hypocrite.

[achilles]

I can't wait for the match to start. Sunny will go on and on endlessly about how Broad got away in the previous game for a similar transgression. Will make for an interesting day's play.
