Scorecard: | India v South Africa |
Event: | South Africa in India 2007/08 |
DateLine: 31st March 2008
The South Africa team was fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during its drawn first Test against India at Chennai, played between 26 and 30 March.
 
Roshan Mahanama of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Graeme Smiths side was ruled to be two overs short of its target when time allowances were taken into consideration. 
In accordance with the ICC Code of Conduct regulations governing over-rate penalties, players are fined five 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, Smith was fined 20 per cent of his match fee while each of his players received 10 per cent fines. 
The offence is contrary to Section J of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to slow over-rates. 
For such offences, the decision of the ICC match referee is final and binding. The full ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Officials can be found at
