Match Referee Mike Denness found Sachin guilty of running his fingernails through the seam of the ball while bowling on the third day of the Second Test against South Africa at Port Elizabeth. The Indian Batting Maestro appeared before Denness after footage of the incident had been viewed by the former England player. Denness banned Sachin for one Test match, though the sentence was suspended until December 31, 2001. He was also fined 75% of his match fee. Denness has also disciplined five other Indian players. The most serious action was taken against batsman Virender Sehwag, whose excessive appealing attracted a fine of 75% of his match fee and a one-Test ban that will ensure that he misses the third and final game of the current series in South Africa. Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, like Sachin, was reportedly banned for one Test match and also for two one-day internationals until the end of the year for not appropriately controlling the actions of his players. These sanctions were also suspended until the end of the year. Harbhajan Singh, Shiv Sunder Das and wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta did not escape lightly either, also receiving suspended sentences of one Test match until the end of the year and surrendering 75% of their match fees for excessive appealing. in-depth coverage > Indian Cricket Team's South Africa Tour > |
