Pollard-Starc episode isn't cricket,' says Bishen Singh Bedi - chairman - 05-09-2014
Former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi slammed match referee Andy Pycroft's decision to only slap Mumbai Indians' Kieron Pollard (75 % of match fees) and Royal Challengers Bangalore Mitchell Starc (50 % of match fees) with fines instead of handing out suspensions for their antics in their Indian Premier League match in Mumbai on Tuesday.

For once,i would agree with Bedi.had i been the match ref (which i am not.
),i would have handed over a 3 match ban to each of them.They don't hold the game play in right spirits.Every one were rooting for a ban but all the umpires do is fine them.Everyone is so bent on money that they fear to do something big.Sad that cricket is drifting to the uglier side.

3 match ban without pay? that seems harsh

Yup,let it be harsh..Only if a harsh decision is taken on them,will they actually repent doing that action,lest they will cool their asses off every time this happens.If they are imposed with a ban,they will be scared to repeat the action again.Anyways..its not going to happen..and i know that for sure..!!
