Rohit Sharma fined 10% of his match fees
Rohit Sharma was fined 10% of his match fee for dissent after being incorrectly judged caught behind for 0 off Muttiah Muralitharan at the Gabba. Sharma was the second India batsman to remain camped to the crease following his dismissal over the past six weeks, but his punishment was stronger than Yuvraj Singh’s following an in-depth pre-series discussion on behaviour by Jeff Crowe, the match referee.

It again shows ICC in bad light.It is natural for batsman or a bowler to show his displeasure over some decisions butwhy ICC is taking this seriously .If a cricket had verbally abused umpire or other players then it’s okay but not for these and that when Rohit Sharma was fined for a wrong decision that went against him.
Also the same punishment was not handed over to Clarke of Australia when he stood in his crease even though he clearly knew that he nicked it .
So Why ICC and match referres is hell bent upon punishing Sub continent players.
This certainly makes believe that there is racism in cricket and a lot has to be done by ICC to remove this from cricket
