Warne charged with dissent

The Australian leg spinner was reported by umpires Aleem Dar and Billy Bowden after showing dissent over an appeal against them.

He appeared before ICC match referee Mike Proctor at the conclusion of play yesterday but an Australian team spokesman said a decision would not be made until today. Yesterday’s fourth day was soured by a series of controversial umpiring decisions that all went against the visiting team but Warne, speaking at a news conference before his hearing took place, denied his team had acted unfairly. "Every team in the world appeals, when you think something’s out you appeal," he said.

"I wouldn’t say we over appeal at all. If you don’t ask you don’t get."

West Indian coach Bennett King declined to comment on the issue.
