DUBAI — Australia seamer James Faulkner was fined 10 per cent of his match fee after an ugly clash with West Indies superstar Chris Gayle during the home side’s 39-run win in the third ODI in Canberra. Faulkner finished the game with four wickets, one of those being the dangerous Gayle who was out for two off the first ball of the 38th over. But he was warned by the umpire for his over-zealous sending off of the batsman.The International Cricket Council (ICC) said that Faulkner was found to have breached the code of conduct which relates to “using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match”. — AFP
