Ramdin receives ICC reprimand

West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council for showing dissent in Friday night's Twenty20 defeat by England.

Ramdin was reported by umpire Nigel Llong for a comment made at the end of an over after the keeper had claimed a catch that was not given.

Ramdin had appeared to celebrate catching England captain Paul Collingwood in the game at The Oval without even appealing to the umpire and the player was censured by match referee Mike Procter at a hearing after the game.

Procter said: "The player was clearly disappointed that an appeal had been turned down by umpire Llong but, at the end of the over, he allowed that disappointment to become dissent and that is completely unacceptable.

"The player was extremely apologetic at the hearing and I took that into account in reaching my decision but any form of dissent cannot be allowed to pass as the game revolves around respect for an umpire's decision.

"The player will now have this mark on his record and that will obviously count against him if he fails to uphold the ICC code of conduct in future."
