West Indies allrounder Dwayne Bravo has been fined 20 per cent of his
match fee for publicly criticising an umpiring decision, the International
Cricket Council (ICC) said on Friday.
Commenting on the dismissal of team-mate Chris Gayle in Tuesday's second
one-day international against England at The Oval, Bravo told reporters:
"It is okay, umpires make mistakes. That's accepted but not when they see
it after and they realise they made a wrong decision and stand by it."
However, match referee Jeff Crowe said in an ICC statement that Bravo had
stepped "over the mark".
Gayle, who made 53 from 51 balls, was given out leg before wicket by umpire
Tony Hill and asked for the decision to be reviewed.
The batsman believed he had inside-edged the ball before it hit his pad but
after viewing replays of the incident, television umpire Kumar Dharmasena
upheld the original decision.
West Indies lost the match and the series 2-0. The third game in Leeds on Friday
was washed out by rain without a ball being bowled.
