What also got his goat over the weekend was the fine handed out to Riaz for the air kissing and mock clapping he directed towards Watson when he had the Australian No. 5 on toast. Watson, who ended up guiding Australia out of trouble and into the semis, also had 15 per cent of his match fee subtracted but the sanctioning of Riaz incensed Lara.
"It's ridiculous what the end result is. We are all entertainers. That to me was one of the highlights of the World Cup. A guy running in bowling at 150km/h plus and Watson looked like he was at school," Lara told India's NDTV.
"It's just unbelievable that that's the end result ... both were fined. I don't know what the ICC is thinking. It's just uncalled for. We need this in a sport that people are running away from, especially 50-over cricket. I loved the exchange. It was above board as far as I'm concerned and I can't wait to meet him. I want to meet with [this] Riaz guy. I'll pay the fine."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Lara is correct.
It is now getting quite ridiculous.
And then you have stump mike picking up a curse and men get fined.

This incident had nothing to do with the stump microphone.
I believe Sammy got fined when the stump mic picked up a curse from him after a bad delivery or whatever.
I am not sure if the stump mic is there for test matches which is probably where the Aussies do most of their cursing.
Those Riaz overs to the Aussies were compelling watching - excellent fast bowling and it looked real fast. A pity his countrymen did not back him up with their catching.

a back-handed compliment : Idiom

Bro, what are you talking about. What back handed compliment.
It was a fantastic spell by Riaz but 2 catches were dropped. One might have changed the course of the game.
And I am not sure how Mail enters into this.
