Vaughan takes on the ICC
Michael Vaughan was hauled up by the ICC last week for commenting that the umpires were being inconsistent in going off for bad light. He was fined 100% of his match fee and yet cannot appeal against the ruling since it is apparently a "minor" offence (categorized as Level 2).
Obviously the players associations/representatives are up in arms against the ruling. If it is a minor offence, why rip off the entire match fee?
I am totally with Vaughan on this one, surely one of the rare occasions I'm supporting a Pom. Many of the ICC's rulings have been ridiculous, inconsistent and anachronistic. This one is, too.
