  • Questions About Lankan Fielding Standards
    14 Monday 21st December, 2009 The Chesterfield Files While ICC turns up the heat on banning and fines for bad behaviour... More questions about Lankan fielding standards In 1994, Shane Warne was hit with a far harsher fine for a similar offense for the way he reacted when he dismissed Andrew Hudson in the second South African innings of the Wanderers Test. The Australian Cricket Board (now Cricket Australia) was not at all impressed with the ugly Australian image that callow episode illustrated to television audiences. You see and hear enough of that sort of adolescent behaviour from politicians whose promises are as genuine as a Tiger Woods/Hansie Cronje/Marion Jones apology. They had to make their admis- sion of guilt because they were caught out in their lies.
