Tino Best, the West Indies fast bowler, has been fined 50% of his match fees for bowling beamers during the second Test at Kandy. Best was found to have breached the ICC's Code of Conduct, with Mike Procter, the match referee, ruling that Best's conduct was not 'within the spirit of the game.'

Best was suspended from bowling in the second innings of the match after two beamers in quick succession. He was also warned in the first innings for bowling a similar delivery.

All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50% of a player's match fee. The charge was brought by on-field umpires Simon Taufel and Tony Hill, TV umpire Tyrone Wijewardene and fourth umpire Gamini Silva.

Procter reached his conclusion after a hearing attended by the umpires, Best and Tony Howard, the West Indies team manager.
