Ponting Fined 40% Fee by ICC Over On-field Row

Melbourne: Australia captain Ricky Ponting has been fined 40 percent of his match fee by the ICC after arguing with umpires over an unsuccessful video review during the second day of the fourth Ashes Test against England.

The International Cricket Council said on Monday that Ponting was found guilty of breaching its code of conduct after getting into a heated argument with match referee Ranjan Madugalle after Kevin Pietersen was given not out while on 49 by the video referee.

The ICC said Ponting pleaded guilty to the charge, meaning the fine could be imposed by disciplinary official Ranjan Madugalle without a full hearing.

Madugalle said "Ricky's actions as captain of his country were unacceptable.
