Kiwi skipper fined for dissent

Published January 31, 2002

MELBOURNE, Jan 30: New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has been fined 40 percent of his match fee for showing dissent.

Fleming was reported by umpires Darrell Hair and Simon Taufel after an incident in the 15th over of Tuesday’s triangular series limited overs international against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The left-hander had hit Shane Warne for a boundary, then complained to the umpires that Steve Waugh had placed an extra fielder in the deep when only two were allowed outside the circle.—Reuters
