Though the title is very hard to spell, there has been a constant evolvement of doubts on the ICC’s take in ongoing South Africa vs England Series.
Everyone including the England veterans say that Kagiso Rabada’s one-match ban is ridiculous. The world has gone mad if a bowler cannot celebrate dismissing the opposition captain with a snorter. Proteas former wicketkeeper Mark Boucher appealed to ICC not to “take emotion out of the game” with these controversial decisions.
Rabada was particularly animated when he beat Root for pace and bowled him in the evening session on day one. In his follow-through, Rabada advanced close to Root, who was walking off, and screamed at him and the stumps.
For that Rabada will miss the fourth, Johannesburg test. Rabada was found guilty of a level one offense. He was fined 15 percent of his match fee and earned one demerit point, taking his total number of active points to four.
Earlier, in the second test match, England wicketkeeper Jos Butler was caught in stump mic where he abuses South African pacer Vernon Philander as di** head, fat pig e.t.c. So many players condemned Butler’s act of using foul language on the field. But he has faced no charges either from Referee or ICC.
But, Rabada’s celebration irked them to handle him an undeserved demerit point. “ICC, being an independent should act according to the facts but not with emotions and partiality,” appeals one twitterati.
