A second for the Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds who got into a sledging match with Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma during the CB Series game at the SCG on Sunday. Post the heated exchange of words and gestures, Ishant Sharma was summoned for a disciplinary hearing by the match referee.
The hearing took place on Monday before Team India left for Hobart for its next game with Sri Lanka. The pacer has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee by the ICC. Sharma was facing a Level 1.6 offence according to the ICC's Code of Conduct. It all happened when Symonds was got out in the 48th over by Sharma after making 59 runs.
Television replays showed Symonds speaking in an aggressive tone to Sharma after he was foxed by a slower ball and the young Indian bowler didn't hold back either. Sharma pointed Symonds in the direction of the dressing room and let loose a verbal volley of his own.
