Patel fined for dissent

07 Apr, 2004

India wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel has been fined 60 percent of his match fee for dissent in the second test against Pakistan.
"He pleaded guilty to showing dissent at an umpiring decision by action or verbal abuse," Samiul Hasan, media manager of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), told reporters on Tuesday.
Patel, 19, was visibly disappointed after Australian umpire Simon Taufel declined a caught-behind appeal against Yousuf Youhana off leg-spinner Anil Kumble on the second day on Tuesday. He was called to appear before match referee Ranjan Madugalle.
Pakistan closed on 355 for three in reply to India's first innings 287. The visitors lead the three-match series 1-0.
