New Zealand's Jamieson fined for throwing ball at Faheem Ashraf in 'dangerous manner'
30
New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for throwing the ball towards Pakistan batsman Faheem Ashraf “in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner”, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old had breached Article 2.9 of its code of conduct on Monday, the third day of the first Test. Jamieson had admitted the offence and accepted the sanction that was proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe, it added.
“The incident occurred ... on Monday, when Jamieson, after fielding the ball on his follow through, threw it in the direction of Faheem Ashraf at high speed when the batsman was away from the stumps but within the popping crease and not intending to take a run,” the ICC said.
It said one demerit point was added to the bowler's disciplinary record. It was Jamieson's first offence in a 24-month period.
When a player accumulates four or more demerit points within a two-year period, they are converted into suspension points which could lead to a ban.
Pakistan were 71-3 after Tuesday's play in Mount Maunganui, still 302 runs away from their victory target of 373. The second and final Test begins in Christchurch on January 3.

Repeat offenders punishments should be harsh this time around. He has a bad temper that needs to get some discipline.

Fine is always good for the people who are engaged in illegal activities and actions... that gives lessons to those who are engaged in such behavior

Great, commendable and outstanding action by the fair and equitable match referee Jeff Crowe, who and his brother Martin Crowe were great New Zealand cricketers during yesteryears, by imposing a fine on his own countryman for violating Article 2.9 of the I.C.C.'s Code of Conduct. Remember, true and fair justice is always blind. It's high time and the right time for other match referees to emulate, imitate and replicate the good character, fairness and excellent characteristics of Jeff Crowe.

Actually 'throwing', even if missed, such a ball should have a MUCH HIGHER penalty - such as ejection from the innings or even the match. Hitting the 'target' should be a 12 month suspension, at least, depending on injury caused. Threatening to do so should be a less severe but still significant penalty. It has become no longer 'cricket'.

Needs to be investigated.
New. Zealanders are peaceful people. Something must have been said between overs.

It could be Jamieson get upset since Faheem Ashraf was successfully approaching to avoid the Fall On and New Zealand will have to come on filed o Bat for second innings.

Had he done it against any other country he would have been handed a ban of two international matches at least. What is PCB doing? Mr. Mani held many positions in ICC and is very very influential. At least attempt to lodge a protest...

Since Misbah and Younis Khan leave the scene, the Pakistan team becomes more chaotic, and indisciplined, as most of the players are very arrogant and egoistic. They hardly care about the country and its people, they only care about themselves. If this attitude persists, Pakistan cricket will soon go into the dust of history. They clearly lack a sense of patriotism.

These sorts of incidents can and do happen in any game , both teams are fully charged and aggression is part of the game. So let's not worry too much over such incidents. And that is not the end of it , it will happen in future . Good thing the offender admitted his fault and accepted the punishment. The End !!!

The white man's drama never ends,the bowler got angry??so next time when batsman get angry,he should throw his bat at the bowler.
Somehow the west indians great fast bowlers never got angry but ruled the cricket world for a long time.

Great show of true sportsman spirit, high character and wonderful personality traits and characteristics by match referee Jeff Crowe, former New Zealand captain, to fine his own countryman for violating Article 2,9 of I.C.C.'s Code of Conduct. Well done, keep it up and hang on tough.
