Bresnan reprimanded for breaching ICC Code of Conduct
England's Tim Bresnan has been officially reprimanded for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his side's tied match against India in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in Bengaluru on Sunday. Bresnan pleaded guilty to contravening Level 1 offence (Section 2.1.2) of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials which relates to "abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings".The incident took place on the last ball of the 48th over when Bresnan, after he was clean bowled by Piyush Chawala, hit the stumps with his bat. As Bresnan accepted the decision without contest, there was no need for a hearing. Commenting on his decision, Mr Roshan Mahanama of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees, said: "While giving my verdict, I took into account that Bresnan admitted his mistake, apologised for his action and that it was his first offence. "Further, it was encouraging to note that Bresnan on his own initiative met the umpires concerned and reiterated that his action was unintentional. "However, there is no room for this type of action in our great sport and cricketers are always expected to play the game in the true spirit of cricket. These cricketers are role models of millions of aspiring cricketers."
All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and/or a maximum penalty of the imposition of a fine up to 50 per cent of a player's match fee. The charge was brought by on-field umpires Billy Bowden and Marais Erasmus, third umpire Rod Tucker and fourth umpire Aleem Dar who are all from the Emirates Elite panel of ICC Umpires. Meanwhile, the England team was fined for maintaining a slow over-rate in the same match. The fines were imposed by Mr Mahanama after Andrew Strauss's side was ruled to be one over short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.
In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount. As such, Strauss was fined 20 per cent of his match fee while his players received 10-per-cent fines. The offence is contrary to Article 2.5.1 of the code which relates to minor over-rate offences. The penalty was accepted by England without contest so there was no need for a hearing.

It was a great game of cricket: Strauss
Bangalore: England skipper Andrew Strauss said his side's thrilling World Cup encounter against India here on Sunday, which ended in a tie, was a great advertisement for one-day cricket.Strauss, who struck a brilliant 158 to almost single-handedly guide England to a dramatic win, said it was a privilege to be a part of such a close game.
Asked if he was pleased with the result, Strauss said, "Yes and No. We were in a great position to win after 42 overs. It was a tough target to chase. We got to a position towards victory at the end of the 42nd over, where we need to have good powerplay runs."
"But it was a great game of cricket and great advertisement for the sport. Some ways we are happy, and some ways distraught. But I am privileged to be part of this ODI.
It was an outstanding wicket to bat on."
Asked about Ian Bell's close shave, Strauss admitted that luck was with the right-hander.
"I do not know it was part of rules but it is luck that he got away with that," Strauss said.
Elaborating further the powerplay, Strauss said, "Powerplay can affect. In fact it affected both ways. The Indians regrouped grabbing the situation. But we got to celebrate the fact that it was an unbelievable act in cricket.
In a 50-over format you can get great performances from both sides. Today both sides are happy party sides."
"Zaheer Khan produced a couple of good balls when it mattered. You need to give credit to the opposition as they responded well to the powerplay overs."
Strauss, who won the Man-of-the-Match award for his heroic knock, was all praise for Tim Bresnan, who picked up five wickets apart from playing a cameo lower down the order.
"He was outstanding. There were some good performances all round in batting, bowling and fielding. It was hard to stem the runs. Sachin played brilliantly. I think both teams will carry some positives and negatives from the match."
Asked about his own innings, Strauss said, "It is my best one-day knock, given the importance of the game and in the backdrop of playing in the World Cup and chasing such a total.
In the end I was not really proud of. Of course, if I had stayed we might have won. But that is the way cricket goes."

India seek to break hosts' curse | Cricket News | Cricbuzz.com
India are well used to carrying the hopes of millions of cricket fans but now they will also try to overturn the weight of history by becoming the first main host nation to win the World Cup.
Home advantage is supposed to count for something in many sports but not so when it comes to winning the World Cup where individual brilliance or mathematical error have left those staging the party having to watch someone else walk away with the best present.
England hosted the first three World Cups, starting with the inaugural edition in 1975 and their best-effort saw them finish runners-up to a star-studded West Indies side in 1979.
The pioneers of one-day cricket, England reached the semi-finals in 1975 only to come up against inspired Australia all-rounder Gary Gilmour.
Left-arm paceman Gilmour made the most of a helpful Headingley pitch by taking six wickets for 14 runs as England collapsed to 93 all out and so became the first bowler to take six wickets in a one-day international.
Australia slumped in turn to 39 for six only for Gilmour to defy them with the bat in a match-clinching 28 not out.
Four years later England went one better but this time were undone by the West Indies.

India, Bangladesh set for rousing cricket opener | Cricket News | Cricbuzz.com
India will look to settle an old score against an increasingly confident Bangladesh when the co-hosts meet in an intriguing opening match of the World Cup on Saturday.
On paper, the day-night clash at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka may look like a no-contest with tournament favourites India having won 20 of their 22 one-day matches against the Tigers.
But the two defeats at Bangladesh's hands will rankle Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men when they take the field in front of some 25,000 partisan fans baying for India's blood.
A 15-run defeat in December 2004 in Dhaka was followed by a stunning five-wicket loss during the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean, which knocked India out in the first round.
Indian vice-captain Virender Sehwag, never one to mince words, told reporters ahead of the tournament that his team was charged up for what is widely seen as a grudge match.
"We have not forgotten that World Cup loss," the aggressive opener said. "We can't wait to play them again, and I am confident we will do better this time."
Bangladesh, who also defeated mighty South Africa in the second round of the last World Cup, could not have asked for a better setting to challenge the Indians.

Captains say World Cup wide open | Cricket News | Cricbuzz.com
Graeme Smith of South Africa and India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni joined a chorus of World Cup skippers predicting a closely contested tournament that will thrill players and fans alike.
At a rare assembly of all 14 captains for a photo-shoot and media conference in Dhaka on Thursday ahead of cricket's showpiece event, the general refrain was that it was impossible to choose a winner.
"I believe every team taking part has a chance to win, it is all very open," Smith said at the function that took place a few hours before the opening ceremony at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Added Dhoni: "All teams are in good touch. The gap between matches will help players recover from niggles which are bound to happen. It means every team will be in good shape for their matches.
"A side that plays consistently well over the next six weeks will do well."
Ricky Ponting, whose Australia won the last three World Cups, was the first off the blocks in making his opening remarks before the floor was thrown open to the media.
"On behalf of the 13 other captains, I welcome the cricket fraternity to the World Cup," said Ponting. "It is the pinnacle of our sport and we will make sure it is a spectacle to remember."
Dhoni, speaking on behalf of the three host nations -- India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka -- said it was fitting the tournament was being held in South Asia where cricket was a major sport.
