Jadeja fined

THE Indian cricket board wasn’t satisfied with a guilty verdict against Ravindra Jadeja for an incident with England bowler James Anderson, and still believed its all-rounder was not to blame. The International Cricket Council released the decision yesterday, after a hearing the previous night involving both players. Jadeja was found guilty of “conduct contrary to the spirit of the game” for a confrontation at lunch on day two of the first test at Trent Bridge, on July 10.

ICC match referee David Boon found Jadeja not guilty of the original level two charge, but guilty of a lesser level one offense, and fined him a maximum 50 percent of his match fee. A first level one offense cannot be appealed, although the Board of Control for Cricket in India said it reserved that right. Fast bowler Anderson, facing a level three charge and a possible four-test ban, has a disciplinary hearing on August 1.
