Flower reprimanded by ECB

Grant Flower, the Essex batsman, has been reprimanded under the ECB's disciplinary code following an incident against Derbyshire last week.

The two umpires, George Sharp and Barry Dudleston, reported Flower for a Level One breach of the code (abuse of the cricket ground, equipment or fixtures/fittings).

The penalty remains on Flower's record for two years. Any further Level One breaches during that period will result in an automatic imposition of three penalty points.
