India fined for slow over-rate

India have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate in their last one-day international against Australia by Clive Lloyd, the match referee.

The ICC's Code of Conduct states that each player will be fined 5% of his match fee for each of the first five overs that the side is behind the required rate, while a figure of 10% applies to the captain. Since India were three overs behind, the players were fined 15%, and Sourav Ganguly, 30%.

Ganguly was also charged with a level two offence, described as "conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting". For this, Ganguly was fined an additional 50% of his match fee.
