Cullinan and Thomas guilty of dissent

Daryll Cullinan, the Easterns captain, and Alfonso Thomas, the Northern Titans allrounder, have been found guilty of dissent during SuperSport Shield series match at SuperSport Park on Sunday.

Cullinan was found guilty after questioning a number of umpires' decisions on the first two days of the game. Thomas was similarly charged.

The match has not been short of incident - it emerged that Pierre de Bruyn, the Eastern allrounder, had his bowling action reported by both umpires to the South African board as being suspect. de Bruyn has already been cleared twice by the board's technical committee - most recently at the start of the 2003-04 season.
