Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul Haq was fined 15 percent of his match fee for showing dissent at an umpire's decision and Kiwi bowler Adam Milne was reprimanded for using obscene language during a one-day international in Sharjah. Misbah also hurt his hamstring while fielding and is now doubtful for the third match, also in Sharjah on Sunday.
"Misbah was fined 15 percent of his match fee for... showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match," the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement. Misbah expressed his displeasure in the 37th over after TV umpire Joel Wilson upheld on-field umpire Richard Illingworth's decision to give him caught behind off paceman Matt Henry.
Misbah made 47 in Pakistan's total of 252 all out, which New Zealand overhauled in 46 overs. Kiwi paceman Milne received an official reprimand for violating the game's code of conduct, the ICC said. After Milne had dismissed Pakistan's Shahid Afridi in the 41st over, the right-arm fast bowler was clearly observed using an inappropriate word, the sport's world governing body added.
