South Africa's David Miller gets in trouble with the ICC, gets reprimanded for his actions

South African batsman David Miller was reprimanded and given one penalty point for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during a Super Eights Group 2 T20 World Cup match against England. Miller was judged to have violated Article 2.8 of the Code of Conduct for Players and Support Personnel, which prohibits "showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match."

The incident took place during the 19th over of South Africa's innings, when David Miller played a full toss throw from bowler Sam Curran, expecting it to be adjudged a 'no ball' due to the height. When it was not deemed a no-ball, the left-hander expressed his displeasure with the umpire's decision by signalling for a review when it could not have been.

On-field umpires Chris Brown and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, as well as third umpire Joel Wilson and fourth umpire Chris Gaffaney, all filed charges against Miller.

The SA batter admitted the infraction and agreed to the sentence imposed by match referee Jeff Crowe therefore there was no official hearing. David Miller received one demerit point on his disciplinary record because it was his first offence in 24 months.

Regarding the match, South Africa looked perfect as they were able to execute with the bat. The SA bowlers were able to put up enough resistance to not let the English batters reach the target and also took out some key wickets to limit them. In the end, South Africa triumphed over the defending champions, holding their nerve despite numerous errors, to maintain themselves in the title contention of the ongoing T20 World Cup.
