West Indies players Jayden Seales and Kevin Sinclair have been found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct in the second Test match against Bangladesh, which the visitors won to level the series.

Seales was fined 25 per cent of his match fees for making aggressive gestures towards the Bangladesh dressing room after picking up a wicket. In addition to this, he also had one demerit point added to his disciplinary record. This was the first offence in a 24-month period.

Seales' fine relates to the breach of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which relates to “conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.”

Sinclair really has to be spoken to, he is offending too many lately.

I thought he was out of control. I found it interesting that the umpire first spoke to the Skipper and it seems that no amount of talking could reel this guy in. Funny, bully tactics instead of intimidating seemed to inspire his opponent to be more aggressive and took the initiative away from us. I saw this fine coming from a mile away.

Insult to injury

I didn't think we had to behave like that to such a team, maybe, if we had stuck to the game itself and direct our concentration on bowling batting and fielding we would have beaten them.They didn't show that sort of agressive behaviour against England.Some may say "they lost the plot".I am not saying don't be aggressive,sometimes sledging is quite funny,who will ever forget Sarwan's respnse to Mc.Grath's sledge,that was the best response to a sledge ever heard.

inexperience hopefully they will learn from it

Nah, the best one I ever heard was between Viv and Greg Thomas.
Thomas bowled him a ball that went through to the keeper, and he told him it's red, weighs 5.5 ounces...
The next ball, Viv lashed it out the ground, and he told him, U know how much it weighs, and what it looks like, go fetch it.

viv was partying the night before by his own admission with beefy, then arrived at taunton worst for ware. i think he said the first few deliveries had him swinging long after the ball had past him. is like why would you do that eh. of all the ppl in the world to sledge, you sledge viv. if i were a bowler, i'd sledge lara before sledging viv.

Jonathan Agas was telling a story about county cricket.
He said the captain told the bowler not to bowl a bouncer... Anyway, the bowler bowled a bouncer and got the opening batsman out.
He said, then come in the batsman, chewing a gum, lashing the bat in the middle of his hand, and the captain told the bowler, don't bowl a bouncer.
He said, everyone knew what will happen. The bowler bowled a bouncer, and all they heard, was CRACK!
And a few seconds after, they heard cradam! the ball broke a glass factery.
Umpire Bird told the bowler, that's your two for the over.
And Viv said, No No Dicky, let him bowl as much as he wants.
