SOUTH AFRICA FOUND GUILTY OF BALL TAMPERING........ SO THIS IS HOW SOUTH AFRICA WASHED AWAY THE PAKISTANI BATSMEN IN AN UNFAIR WAY...... UMPIRES JUST PENALIZED 5 RUNS WHICH IS SIMPLY WTF ...... SO U SEE THE SECOND TEST 1ST INNINGS WAS AN UNFAIR AND CORRUPTED ONE IN WHICH SA IS TO BLAME.... South Africa were penalized five runs for ball tampering and the team was the subject of a hearing after play on the third day of the second Test against Pakistan in Dubai. The ICC confirmed that the penalty and the change of ball after 30 overs was due to ball tampering. As per 42.1 of the ICC playing conditions, the umpires replaced the ball and fined South Africa team five penalty runs for ball tampering, an ICC spokesperson said. The incident took place at the start of the 31st over of Pakistans innings, two overs after tea, when umpires Ian Gould and Rod Tucker called South African captain Graeme Smith for a chat. The fourth umpire, Shozab Raza, brought a box of balls onto the field and a new one was selected for use. No individual player has been charged yet but television images showed Faf du Plessis rubbing the ball allegedly on the zipper of his trouser pocket. The umpires will decide whether to lay a charge at the close of play and that will determine if and when a hearing will take place. The playing conditions (see sidebar) dealing with ball tampering were changed recently, coming into effect only from October 1. Any player found guilty of ball tampering will be fined 50 to 100% of his match fee and/or get a ban of one Test or two ODIs or two Twenty20s, whichever came first. ~YO YO RIFz~
