Jayden Seales reprimanded for Cummins send-off

West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales has been fined 15% of his match fee and given a demerit point for his send-off to Pat Cummins on the first day of the Barbados Test against Australia.

Cummins was caught at mid-off for 28 off 18 balls in the 55th over of Australia's first innings, after which the bowler Seales gestured in the direction of the dressing room.

According to the ICC's code of conduct, Seales was in breach of article 2.5: "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match."

Seales took 5 for 60 in Australia's first innings and after the day's play he said he "did not really mean anything" by the reaction and that "it was more a bit of frustration."

"Pat hit a couple of good shots off me and I just showed him where the dressing room was and there wasn't really anything in it." It was Seales' second offence and he now has two demerit points in a 24-month period.

After dismissing Australia for 180, West Indies ended the first day on 57 for 4. They were dismissed for 190 on the second day at the Kensington Oval, where several contentious decisions made by the TV umpire Adrian Holdstock went against the home side. After they reduced Australia to 92-4 in the third innings, West Indies coach Daren Sammy was critical of Holdstock's decision-making.
