YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, WEDNESDAY, SHORT DECEMBER 30, 2020 TALKS Australia fined for slow over-rate in second Test against India DUBAI: Australia were fined 40 per cent of their match fee and pe- nalised four ICC World Test Cham- pionship points for maintaining a slow over-rate against India in the second Test of the Border–Gavaskar Trophy, which ended in Melbourne on Tuesday. India produced a clinical perform- ance to beat Australia by 8 wickets in the second Test and level the four-match series 1-1 at the Mel- bourne Cricket Ground. David Boon of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanc- tion after Tim Paine’s side was ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration. 'In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Play- ers and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined 20 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the al- lotted time,' ICC said in a statement. 'In addition, as per Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is pe- nalised two points for each over short. Consequently, four World Test Championship points have been de- ducted from Australia’s points total,' he added. Paine pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanc- tion, so there was no need for a for- mal hearing. On-field umpires Bruce Oxenford and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Paul Wilson and fourth umpire Gerard Abood leveled the charge.
