West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for breaching its code of conduct.
Brathwaite received an official reprimand along with one demerit point for breaching Level One of the ICC’s code of conduct during the West Indies’ World Cup game against England at the Hampshire Bowl on Friday, which the Windies lost by eight wickets.
He was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing dissent to an umpire’s decision.
The incident occurred in the 43rd over of the West Indies’ innings when Brathwaite made his displeasure at being given out clear to the umpires.
On-field umpires Sundaram Ravi and Kumar Dharmasena, third umpire Rodney Tucker and fourth official Paul Wilson levelled the charges.
He admitted committing the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by David Boon of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
According to the ICC’s code of conduct, when a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned.
Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.

ATROCIOUS UMPIRING – PLAYERS’ DISSENT
This can be likened to ‘…Smoke and Fire.’ Always together.
The game of cricket has Rules.
Player’s shall always guide their conduct by existing Rules.
Players who understand the Rules of the game would react.
Not necessarily to the Rules, but by ‘…umpiring decisions’ that often seemed to beg for ‘…rationale and fairness.’
Was not it recently former West Indies pace-man ‘…Michael Holding’ was asked to tone down his language when he recently described some ‘…umpiring decisions as ‘…atrocious?’
Mind you, he is not just a commentator, but also one sees whatever is happening on the field of play and comments on it.
Carlos Brathwaite is not just a player, but also a team member.
Dissent Yes, but really not ‘…bad boy behavior.’
Obviously, he would want to see his team do well, and as far as the umpiring is concerned, treated fairly.
Believe the time has come when the ICC shall also look at the umpiring of its assigned Umpires and censoring them for provoking ‘…Player’s Dissent.’ Atrocious umpiring and dissent,’ could bring the game into disrepute.
The ball touched his glove and then is arm. Not very happy with the umpiring in general, but in this case the decision was fair.
In the case of hope, the on field decision was not out, not so sure I am trusting the ball tracking that gave him out.
At any rate West Indies needs to move on from Brathwaite.
I remember that name!
DUNCINESS AND BATTING
Saw ‘…GT Lager Beer’ for the first time today-June 15, 2019.
They were shelved at the ‘…Chinese XPZ Supermarket,’ Sidney Walling Highway.
Did not check on the price, but certainly ‘…not 3 for $10.’
Anyone that drinks this beer can never be as ‘…Dunce as a Bat.’
Much brighter than that.
Not sure if it would make anyone love cricket.
Do know that drinking too much ‘…GT Beer,’ can’t see ball.
If he is dunce and drunk, shouldn’t go to the wicket to bat.
Carlos Brathwaite would drop him flat.
If anything, drop ‘…Dunciness; …stay out of the wicket, but hold on to the ‘…Bat.’
Mr Pompey…I will hold the bat but will not be like a Brath!
BRIGHT AND SMART
Now you are ‘…Bright and Smart.’ Moved to another Grade.
A ball fro ‘…Brath’ is to the dressing room on a stretcher.
Then in an ambulance to the hospital Doctor.
