09-Jun-2001The touring Indian team has been cautioned against over-appealing andremonstrating against decisions unfavourable to it in the current Testseries in Zimbabwe.Match referee Denis Lindsay called Indian captain Sourav Ganguly,vice-captain Rahul Dravid, and coach John Wright, for an unofficialbriefing at the end of the second day’s play in Bulawayo yesterday.”There is no official warning as such,” said Lindsay. “Only a time tore-emphasize the kind of conduct we expect in the middle.”Lindsay’s move is seen as an attempt to ward off things getting out ofhand in the ongoing series. Though there weren’t any particularly uglyscenes in the middle, the Indians did appear to over-appeal andremonstrate on a few occasions with the umpires.Though Lindsay tried to downplay the event, the time he spent with theIndian team management in his room suggested the match referee had alot of points to make.
