Flower fined after outburst against Pak
Zimbabwe's Grant Flower has been fined and warned over his future conduct after using obscene language during the one-day international series against Pakistan.
Flower was reported following his outburst after dismissing Pakistan batsman Taufeeq Umar for 68 during the third match of the series in Harare on Wednesday.
He also gestured angrily towards the pavilion after taking Umar's wicket. Flower was docked half his match fee after a hearing by match referee Clive Lloyd.
Pakistan lead the five-match series 3-0.
Flower, a top-order batsman who also bowls left-arm spin, is one of Zimbabwe's most experienced players, having featured in 187 one-day internationals and 63 tests. He took one for 52 off 10 overs on Wednesday.
