Bangladesh Humble England to Level ODI Series

Bangladesh thumped England in a bowler-dominated contest after home skipper Mashrafe Mortaza's all-round brilliance secured their series-levelling 34-run victory in the second one-day international.Mortaza blasted 44 runs off 29 balls and then returned to marshal his bowlers intelligently while claiming 4-29 himself as England collapsed for 204 in 44.4 overs.

Buttler boorish behaviour !!

Bairstow for Captain in the series leveler in Chittagong !!

Another fantastic ODI match and thrilling finish. This has been a brilliant series. As to the Buttler confrontation, both sides share blame. The four Bangladeshi players goading and giving Buttler the business after the DRS review was uncalled for and not allowed. Buttler's reaction was not much better, though as arguably the most placid player in international cricket, something pretty unsavoury must have been said. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. 



One thing that should not be lost in this is Bangaldesh's ODI home form. They have not lost a home ODI series in more than two years. Over this period, they have defeated India, South Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe twice. They are a very good ODI side when playing at home. This is all poised for an incredible finale.

It's just expression of joy, nothing wrong with it, its their way of celebrating.. Let it be. Did they break any rule? If not then why the world want them to change according to them!!!

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza said that Tamim Iqbal was not the one at fault

during his spat with Ben Stokes at the end of the second ODI in Mirpur.

The broadcaster's footage showed that both Jonny Bairstow and Tamim didn't let go

of their hand shake before engaging into an argument which prompted Stokes  >

to push Tamim to his left and get involved.

Send-offs like that don't fall in line with the spirit of the game, and the ICC wants to eliminate them. And rightly so.

This is not the first time Bangladesh have been involved in ugly confrontations as Sabbir Rahman abused an umpire during the match with Afghanistan last month, while Rubel Hossain gave Virat Kohli a nasty send-off at last years World Cup.

As a result of this incident, the ICC fined Mashrafe Mortaza and Sabbir Rahman 20% of their match fee for their roles, while Buttler was reprimanded for his response to the provocation.

Quote:Captain Mortaza and batsman Sabbir were guilty of "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match".

Javagal Srinath, who is on the International Cricket Council's elite panel of match referees, decided on the punishment.

"The Bangladesh players overstepped in their celebration of Jos Buttler's wicket, which prompted an inappropriate reaction from the dismissed batsman and required the on-field umpires' intervention," he said.

"We all want to see high intensity on the field of play, but only as long as it is not provoking or antagonising or disrespecting the opponent."

The revised ICC code of conduct came into force on 22 September, and one demerit point each has been added to the disciplinary records of the three players.
