Ponting fined for dissent

Ricky Ponting has been fined 30 percent of his match fee for dissent during the second one-dayer win over hosts West Indies.

An International Cricket Council statement said the Australian skipper appeared to make a comment to the umpire after he had turned down a caught-behind appeal against Patrick Browne.

Although Ponting pleaded not guilty at the post-match hearing, ICC match referee Roshan Mahanama punished the player after viewing video footage of the incident.

Australia won the rain-hit game in Grenada by 63 runs, taking a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
