Bermuda skipper Clay Smith and premier spin bowler Dwayne Leverock received a slap on the wrist from cricket's governing body for showing dissent during their four-day clash with Holland.

Leverock admitted to 'expressing disagreement by words and gestures' and then banging his bat in the dressing room after being given out lbw in the drawn game.

Smith also admitted a charge relating to 'poor on-field behaviour'.

An International Cricket Council press release confirmed yesterday that the pair had been reprimanded for breaching level 1.3 of the ICC Code which relates to 'showing dissent at an umpire's decision by action or verbal abuse.'

But it could provide no further details of what Smith had actually done.

The charges were laid by on-field umpires Karl Hurter and Zama Ndamane and third umpire Adrian Crafford.

ICC Match Referee Mike Procter said: "Respect for the game and for decisions made by the umpires are the bedrock on which our great sport is built.

"It is important that all players realize this and behave accordingly. This was pressed to both players during the hearing and I trust there will be no repeat of such incidents."

Procter reached his decisions after a hearing attended by the two players, Bermuda's manager Lionel Tannock and ICC's High Performance Manager Richard Done.[[In-content Ad]]
