James "Scrapper" Anderson fined half his match fee

Anderson A bad day for Jimmy Anderson has just got worse.  Not only did the Lancashire seamer get carved all over the park, conceding  78 runs from his ten overs, he has now had 50% of his match fee taken from his sweaty palm after clashing with Windies batsman Runako Morton.  Jimmy barged Morton during the game leading to a verbal exchange between the two.

Anderson was found to be in contravention of rule 2.4 regarding "inappropriate, deliberate physical contact" with another player by the match referee.  Morton has had no sanctions placed on him as the referee felt that he was the victim in the situation.

In other disciplinary news from the match, Stuart Broad, bless him, has had a word in his shell-like from the powers that be for wearing a white lycra bodysuit, which was visible under his coloured uniform.  The cad.  [Image: Getty]

Taking on Leroy Brown? Jimmy's a brave man.
