AUSTRALIA captain Ricky Ponting was fined 40 percent of his match fee after his frustration over a TV referral decision boiled over into an ugly row with umpire Aleem Dar. Ponting spent more than a minute remonstrating with Dar after demanding a review of a not out decision against England batsman Kevin Pietersen.
Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin had launched a loud but solo appeal for caught behind, convinced Pietersen, who was on 49, had nicked the ball from quick Ryan Harris. A review of the decision revealed no "hot spot" where the ball passed Pietersen's bat but a furious Ponting, who was joined by finger-jabbing seamer Peter Siddle, argued long and hard with Dar, prompting jeers from the crowd.
The International Cricket Council said Ponting pleaded guilty to the charge of "arguing or entering into a prolonged discussion with the umpire about his decision".
