Wahab Riaz does not like being hit for six

Ahmed Shehzad smacks a glorious six off the bowling of Wahab Riaz. The always fiery Riaz takes exception to Shehzad holding a pose and admiring the shot. Shehzad is bowled the next delivery leading to Riaz over-celebrating and hurling a few parting words at the batsman. Shehzad does not take kindly to this and waves his bat in Riaz's face. Tempers continue to flare, resulting in Riaz giving the batsman a hearty shove. Both were fined for their actions.

woww

Wait til they come to CPL in the Caribbean !

Who select Wahab  :-\

Gah this type of petty fights between players of the same country is really bad for international cricket. People within a team used to have differences in the past but it never got out in the public and became ugly like here. Similar thing happened with Virat Kolhi and Gautam Gambhir in the IPL

As a bowler myself, I never understood why my fellow bredren would think it is wise to square up for a fight with a batsman that is wearing a helmet, suit of armour and wielding a bat for a weapon. It just seems like a very poor decision. To this day, Dennis Lillee can consider himself fortunate that Javed Miandad didn't cave his skull in.

Shehzad was a bit harshly dealt with there I think to get a fine, as it looked to me like Diaz was the aggressor.

On a side note that's another reason I would never have made a professional cricketer. If he'd have pushed me like that, there's only on place I'd have been puttting my bat, and it's not back in the pavilion!

Shehzad was fined for waving his bat in Wahab Riaz's face which escalated the incident and led to Riaz shoving Shehzad. Shehzad should know better than to respond to a bowlers over-celebration. Put your head down and walk back to the pavillion, especially after showing the bowler up the ball before.

I agree with the decision to impose a fine on the batsman. He was not physically confronted by the bowler, so he should have made his way to the pavilion without responding to the bowler. If he was aggrieved by the bowler's action he could have reported the bowler to the authorities.
