Cricket Australia (CA) has today advised that Shane Warne has been reported for breaching CA’s Code of Behaviour in tonight’s KFC T20 Big Bash League BIG SEMI FINAL between the Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers.
Warne is alleged to have breached Rule 5: Laws of Cricket and Spirit of the Game. On 5 December 2012, KFC T20 Big Bash League teams were sent a Memo by Cricket Australia. Under the heading “Over Rates”, the Memo stated that “If a team’s official captain is selected but not named as captain, this will be considered against the Spirit of Cricket and may attract a Code of Behaviour charge.”
For tonight’s match, James Faulkner was listed on the Melbourne Stars team sheet as captain and took part in the coin toss with Perth Scorchers captain Simon Katich. Warne had previously been issued with one strike for a slow over rate violation, with a second strike this season resulting in an automatic one-match suspension.
The time and date of the hearing is yet to be determined.
I'm glad CA called bullshit on that stunt. He deserves to be pinged.
Walking Past the team rooms after the game and I saw Cameron White and he looked like he was bout to cry

This league is starting to grow on me, I love the fact that there's a lot to play for so there's plenty of fire and emotion. Sure beats watching 3 days of boring test cricket between NZ and SA or even between Sri Lanka and Aus. May follow it more closely next year.
I'm sorry, but you don't understand the meaning of "cricket". T20 is a bastardisation of what many half-witted Gen-Y'ers call 'cricket'.
I don't get the hatred for the BBL. I'm a fan, I watch every match and so does my missus. State based 20/20 or this form: either way is fine with me. FTR Test cricket is my preferred form but its a false dichotomy to say if you like 20/20 in general and the BBL in particular you're somehow not a real fan of the sport. You can have both; why not?
With or without overseas imports?
Would the state sides be allowed to go to the icl? I guess they would
