As if Losing Wasn’t Enough

South Africa have been fined five per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the third ODI against England in Southampton on Sunday.

Javagal Srinath of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after South Africa were ruled to be one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.

In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

Captain Temba Bavuma pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Nitin Menon and Russell Warren, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Mike Burns levelled the charge.

  1. Alec Stewart, OBE had a batting average of 39.54. This is the lowest for a player who has scored at least 8000 runs. Stewart holds a score of 8,463 Test runs. This figure is significant because Stewart was born on April 8, 1963 (8/4/63). He is also the cricketer with the highest Test runs who does not have a career double history.

  2. New Zealand rugby has a long-standing rivalry with South Africa, Australia, and other top rugby nations. Their matches against these teams, especially in the Rugby Championship (formerly known as the Tri-Nations), are some of the most anticipated and thrilling encounters in the sport.
