Ishant fined for breaching ICC Code of Conduct New Delhi, Sun, Mar 24 2013 Text Size Decrease font Enlarge font [sharma admitted to the charge and accepted the sanction imposed by the ICC Match Referee.] Sharma admitted to the charge and accepted the sanction imposed by the ICC Match Referee. [© Getty] India paceman Ishant Sharma was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for gesturing towards the pavilion after dismissing Australian batsman James Pattinson during the third day's play in the fourth Test in New Delhi. Sharma admitted to the charge and accepted the sanction imposed by ICC Match Referee Ranjan Madugalle. Through his admission, Sharma was found to have breached Level 1 Article 2.1.6 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel (the 'Code'), which relates to pointing or gesturing towards the pavilion by a bowler or a fielder upon the dismissal of a batsman during an International Match. The incident happened on the fourth ball of the 45th over when Sharma, after dismissing Pattinson, repeatedly gestured towards the pavilion while in his follow through. "Ishant's reaction after dismissing James Pattinson was inappropriate and clearly in breach of the Code. I'm sure Ishant will learn from this incident and ensure such actions are not be repeated in the future," Madugalle said. On-field umpires Aleem Dar and Richard Kettleborough, third umpire S.Ravi and fourth umpire Anil Chowdhary brought the charge. All Level 1 breaches for this offence carry a penalty of a warning/reprimand and/or the imposition of a fine up to 50 per cent of the applicable match fee. As with other breaches at this level, the ICC Match Referee's decision is final and binding.

Isn't this how bowlers like Dale Steyn, Michelle Johnson, gesture after a wicket? :finger: Madugalle!

Have to say that send off looked pretty mild to me.

[NareshK]

Its nothing compared to what Steyn does. I wonder if this Madugalle would say something to Steyn. He would sit quiet and put it down to "aggression" and "that's just how they play".

This "different strokes for different folks" is what p****s me off.

I think that just isn't in the rules - you can't gesture to the batsman. I am a bit relieved that Jadeja, Raina & co. didn't receive a reprimand for their send off to David Warner. http://www.starsports.com/video/videoid=1264874/index.html#india-australia-4th-test-day-1st-session-replay-1264874?v=1264874&t=6245 Is there any video for Steyn sending off batsman with a gesture and not being reprimanded?

Did you watch the send-off Steyn gave Hafeez in one of the odis? He made a gesture with his hand showing 5 fingers - one for each time he dismissed Hafeez in the series at the time - while he ran past him and pointed to dressing room. Didn't hear any news about a reprimand for Steyn.

According to the ICC code of conduct, that's not an issue. The issue is to gesture the batsman his path towards the pavilion. Just check Jadeja doing the same thing to Warner but he wasn't reprimanded. Also, Jadeja made a similar gesture (like Steyn showing the time he dismissed Clarke) after dismissing Clarke in Mohali and there was no reprimand. In this case, Ishant gestured Pattinson towards the pavilion.

Our players never learned how to sledge. Australians do it as a strategy and they know where to draw the line and where they can take some liberty. The ICC always frowns upon sendoffs to departing batsmen, but for our players, that's the moment of victory and that's the moment to show them their place.

[SLICKR392]

Pattinson gave Yadav a sent off during the Aus tour. AFAIK there was no fine stamped against him.

+1 :hysterical: As a punishment-should be asked to play one year of county cricket and Ranji.

As long as no harsh words are exchanged, what is the problem? Maybe Ishant was just trying to help Pattison find his way back. Delhi is a big city you know, and those ring roads are confusing as hell.

Bowlers routinely give send offs, typically with no punishment. I don't like it and umps should do everything they can to maintain civility. As others have pointed out, it needs to be enforced uniformly, be it an Aussie or a Desi.

[vijay50]

But it will be enforced only to desi people.

I don't see it as a problem - is it so hard not to gesture a batsman towards the pavilion when explicitly said so?

Ishant gesture was not acceptable again by Jeff Crowe..this time.. https://cricket.yahoo.com/news/cricket-australia-ishant-sharma-test-fines-104829078.html

Sharma was fined 15 percent of his match fee for violating a section of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to "language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match." Sharma was seen on the television broadcast using inappropriate words after dismissing Smith in Australia's first innings. Sharma admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by the match referee, the ICC said. All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 percent of a player's match fee. It is the second Test match in the current Border-Gavaskar series that has led to code of conduct sanctions.
