Warne vs Samuels: clash in T20 Big Bash League

MELBOURNE Stars captain Shane Warne has been suspended for one match and fined $4500 for his on-field fracas with West Indian Marlon Samuels at the MCG.

The 43-year-old legspinner was found guilty of making “inappropriate and deliberate physical contact” during a confrontation with Renegades player Samuels in the Melbourne derby on Sunday night, and of using obscene or offensive language and dissent at an umpire’s decision.

Samuels is facing charges of “unbecoming behaviour” for throwing his bat and making inappropriate and deliberate physical contact. Warne was cleared of deliberately throwing the ball at Samuels in an inappropriate or dangerous manner.
