Campbell fined 25 per cent of match fee for umpire barb
AAP - 4 February 2001

Zimbabwe batsman Alistair Campbell has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for the tri series one-day international against Australia in Hobart for comments about the umpiring.

Campbell criticised umpire Steve Davis' decision to give Australian opener Andrew Symonds not out off Heath Streak's bowling in last Tuesday's match.

Campbell told a post-match press conference he believed the ball came to the keeper off Symonds' gloves and should have been out -- and everyone thought that except the umpire.

International Cricket Council match referee Denis Lindsay says Campbell was found guilty of breaking the ICC's Players and Team Officials Code governing public comments about a game.
