Tony Palladino has been fined by Essex after deliberately knocking the stumps down during the County Championship game against Somerset at Colchester.
The incident, reported by umpires Peter Willey and John Steele, occurred during Somerset's innings as Marcus Trescothick compiled the run-a-ball double hundred that set up a 219-run win for the visitors.
"Tony has been fined by the club following his action in the Somerset game. It was in the heat of the moment," explained Paul Grayson, Essex's head coach. "Whilst Tony has apologised for his actions we cannot let the event go without punishment".
