Australians are the undisputed "prima donnas" of cricket as such regretfully they get let off the hook most always or get a considerbly lighter punishment than the rest ..... Example from the past:-
Slater apologises to Dravid
3 March 2001
Australian opening batsman Michael Slater has apologised to
Rahul Dravid for using abusive language against the Indian
vice-captain during the first cricket Test between the two
countries here on Thursday.
Australian media manager Brian Murgatroyd was quoted by
Aussie journalists covering the tour as having stated that
Slater and Dravid sat down together over beer after the game.
In fact, Dravid had gone to the Australian dressing room at the
end of the match.
Slater's tantrum began after his appeal for a catch against
Dravid was turned down by the third umpire. In what Peter
Roebuck described as "Slater's moment of madness", the
Aussie walked up to umpire S Venkatraghavan and argued
the decision with him and then turned to Dravid, who stood his
ground, as he had a right to, and exchanged hot words with
him
ICC match referee Cammie Smith of West Indies let him off
after a warning. The Australian correspondents said their
players, after seeing the replay believed the third umpire made
the right decision. Australian captain Steve Waugh conceded
that Slater's behaviour was wrong but he put the responsibility
for that on the technology that is used to capture action on
the field.
The Australian reporters also pointed out that their batsmen
had stood their ground in similar circumstances this year and
the verdicts had gone in their favour. Pointing out that the
visitors cannot have it both ways, Roebuck said Slater may
have taken the catch "but his protestations were out of place".
