Warne fined again

AUSTRALIAN veteran Shane Warne was yesterday fined 5,000 Australian dollars (US$5,250) for a code of behavior breach in the domestic Big Bash League, his second penalty this month, cricket officials said.

Cricket Australia said Warne was fined following a disciplinary hearing into his failure to list himself as captain during the Melbourne Stars' semifinal against the Perth Scorchers in a bid to dodge a penalty for a slow over-rate. Warne had earlier been issued with one strike for a slow over-rate violation and a second strike this season would have resulted in an automatic one-match ban. Warne apologized earlier this month after a foul-mouthed rant against West Indian all-rounder Marlon Samuels that earned him a ban and a A$4,500 fine.
