Mills cited for excessive appealing - Fox Sports

NEW Zealand medium pacer Kyle Mills will face a charge of excessive appealing during the fourth one-day cricket international against Pakistan.

English match referee Chris Broad informed New Zealand manager Lindsay Crocker of the charge several hours after the Napier match yesterday, which the home side won by eight wickets.

The citing relates to Mills' behavior when Pakistan batsman Salaam Elahi was caught behind for 11 early in the match.

Mills is alleged to have celebrated the wicket without first turning to ensure Australian umpire Darrell Hair had upheld his appeal.

The ICC has recently clamped down on excessive appealing, stipulating players must wait for an umpire's decision before celebrating a wicket

Could have also happened in the last test in Sydney Aust v India - Umpire Bucknor seemed to have a few words to say to the Indian wicketkeeper after a rather boisterous appeal for a batpad catch.
