WEST Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin was fined 20 percent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council on Monday for violating its code of conduct during the drawn third test against England at Edgabston.
After making only his second test hundred, Ramdin produced a piece of paper from his pocket and displayed a message that read: "Yeah Viv talk nah."
Ramdin pleaded guilty to a charge of acting "contrary to the spirit of the game".
Ramdin said on Sunday that he'd had the paper in his pocket since Saturday morning and that it was a response to criticism from former West Indies great Viv Richards, after he'd made just seven runs in two innings in the second test at Trent Bridge.
"Sir Viv had something in the press and I think I got a bit emotional and it came out the way it did," Ramdin said. "Having said that he's a legend of the Caribbean and if I see him I'll still call him out."
Richards responded on BBC radio. "If you give someone enough chances eventually he will get the job done," he said. "Let's not forget this hundred has been in a losing series. If you're losing a football match 5-0 and you score a goal in the 90th minute, you wouldn't be jumping for joy. I set my standards a little higher than that."
