Inzi climbed into the stands and belted an Indian fan who had been abusing him for two days over a megaphone (it was one of those India v Pakistan games held in Canada in the late 90s).
Seems like that's the standard punishment in this series - Philander has just been given the same for "inappropriate language" directed at Buttler after taking his wicket on day 2.
Buttler had the same penalty for swearing at Philander during the second test.
None of it really matters until you do it 4 times in 2 years, which is why the Rabada sanction has got the attention it has.
Who f k n cares , some DH. In the crowd carries on and Stokes gives him a serve ...
Why should he apologise, PC BS strikes again.

What is the role of the guys in the high Vis standing by the tunnel smiling and pretending nothing is going on. Surely that's not security?

Nothing compared to the fate of the bloke who called Inzy "a big aloo".

Thanks Gonzo. It seems that the penalties indicated that the offences were equivalent. Hmmmm

Stokes has been fined 15% of his match fee and given 1 demerit point, which is exactly the same as Rabada's penalty.

I suspect he will get a one point penalty. Won't be an issue unless he offends again.

Hmmm. Rabada gets suspended for an over exuberant celebration. Stokes gets... to apologise? Seems legit

I think you’ll find it’s Ben Stokes OBE.
