Yuvraj faces hearing for showing dissent

December 28, 2007 09:01 IST

India's star middle order batsman Yuvraj Singh faces a disciplinary hearing with Match Referee Mike Proctor for showing dissent after his dismissal in the first Test against Australia.

Umpire Billy Bowden ruled Yuvraj caught behind off Stuart Clark on Thursday, a decision that failed to amuse the left-hander, who was yet to open his account in India's first innings.

Though the snickometer suggested a thin edge, Yuvraj lingered for a few seconds at the crease before finally departing.

The left-hander is expected to attend a hearing with Proctor later on Friday, and if found guilty might lose part of his match fee, media reports in Australia said.
