Kagiso Rabada will miss the Johannesburg Test after being sanctioned for his celebration following the dismissal of Joe Root on the first day of the Port Elizabeth Test.

Rabada was found guilty of a level one offence. He was fined 15 percent of his match fee and earned one demerit point, taking his total number of active points to four. He has accumulated eight in the course of his career, but four of those have now elapsed.

Rabada was found to have breached article 2.5 of the ICC code of conduct for "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match".

Rabada admitted the offence after the day's play and accepted the sanction proposed by Andy Pycroft, the match referee. As such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

Rabada was particularly animated when he beat Root for pace and bowled him in the evening session on day one. In his follow-through, Rabada advanced close to Root, who was walking off, and screamed at him and the stumps. Rabada was quickly swamped by team-mates Rassie van der Dussen and Pieter Malan before the rest of the team surrounded him.

Lol even NZ could beat SA.

That SA batting lineup is woeful. Gee there are some weak teams in test cricket.


Hard to believe a bloke can open for the poms with a first class average of 30!!!!!
