SHANE WARNE (Australian cricketer) CHARGED $5000:
Veteran leg-spinner Shane Warne has been fined $5,000 for acting "against the spirit of cricket" during the semi-finals of Australia's Big Bash Twenty20 League.

Warne captained the Melbourne Stars throughout the league but passed the captaincy to team-mate James Warner in a semi-final against the Perth Scorchers to avoid a possible suspension for Melbourne's slow over rate.
