India captain Virat Kohli has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for 'excessive appealing' in the narrow World Cup victory over Afghanistan at Southampton.

Kohli has also had one demerit point added to his disciplinary record after he was found to have approached umpire Aleem Dar in an aggressive manner when appealing an lbw decision during the 29th over of the 11-run win.

Kohli was found to have breached Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct. Article 2.1 of the code relates to 'excessive appealing during an international match'.

There was no need for a formal hearing as Kohli admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad.

The offence was Kohli's second since the introduction of the revised code in September 2016 and he now has two demerit points, the first being imposed during the Pretoria Test against South Africa in January 2018.

The Windies slumped to 164 for seven against New Zealand in pursuit of a target of 292 at Old Trafford, but that merely set the stage for Brathwaite, who bludgeoned nine fours and five sixes in a staggering 80-ball hundred. However, with six needed for victory, Brathwaite swung mightily again, only to hole out to long-on, where Trent Boult held on to the catch and avoided stepping over the boundary as the Kiwis escaped with a five-run win.

When Ian Botham played king at the panto and the 1992 Cricket World Cup

Botham came off the stage at Bournemouth’s Pavilion Theatre and inspired England to victory over Australia at the World Cup By Steven Pye for the Guardian Sport Network Things were rarely dull where Ian Botham was concerned. After all, anyone who is an inspiration to David Brent is going to be an entertainer. Botham wrote his own script for England one last time at the Cricket World Cup in 1992. Yet, as his teammates jetted off for a tour of New Zealand in January 1992, a very different set of scripts were causing a stir among the British press. Botham joined the tour late after being given permission to appear on A Question of Sport and a pantomime in Bournemouth, where he was playing the part of the king in Jack and the Beanstalk. Most journalists were delighted by his absence; oh no they weren’t. Botham’s decision to put King before country did not go down well with the press. “I’ll settle for the grim conclusion that in terms of basic morality, of what is plainly right or wron...
