High Drama in IPL, Ganguly, Warne fined, Umpire Pratap Kumar suspended

The Ganguly-Warne conflict took a dramatic turn with the BCCI deciding to crack the whip. While Shane Warne was fined 10% of his match fee for criticizing the match officials publicly, Sourav Ganguly was fined 10% of his match fee for showing dissent.

Umpire Pratap Kumar too came under BCCI hammer. He was suspended for one match for failing to report to his fellow on-field umpire about the controversial catch taken by Graeme Smith. He had instead referred the catch to third umpire who ruled him not out.
