New Zealand: Spitting appeal decision today
The Christchurch Press
Cricketer Llorne Howell should finally find out today whether he
faces a bigger penalty after allegations he spat at an opponent.
A hearing was held in Christchurch yesterday after New Zealand
Cricket appealed the $150 fine already imposed on the Canterbury
batsman. It believes the fine was too lenient.
New Zealand Cricket general manager Tim Murdoch said the national
code of conduct commissioner, Nick Davidson -- who held the hearing
-- was expected to announce his decision this morning.
Howell was accused of spitting at Central Districts bowler David
Blake during Canterbury's Shell Cup final match in Napier last
Friday.
