Famous win by Bangladesh

Ben Stokes was fined 15 percent of his match fee for his altercation with Sabbir Rahman.

The incident happened during the morning session on Sunday when Stokes

ignored the on-field umpires' requests to stop "verbally engaging"

with Bangladesh batsman Sabbir Rahman.

The on-field umpires - Kumar Dharmasena and S Ravi - had also advised England

captain Cook of Stokes' actions but, in the words of the ICC media release :

"the player didn't comply with the instructions". .

Stokes was found to have violated Article 2.1.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct

for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to

"conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game"

In addition to the sanction imposed for his breach of Article 2.1.1,

one demerit point has been added to Stokes' disciplinary record.

If Stokes reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period,

they will be converted into suspension points and he will be banned.

Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is,

whatever comes first for the player. .

"I do find it a little bit frustrating"

"Both Sabbir and Stokesy are very competitive cricketers.

To me, people love it.

That's what people watch"

Captain Cook said...

"Stokes break Englishmen hearts ".....thx

A well deserved win.
