Melbourne, Jan 12 (IANS) Cricket Australia (CA) reprimanded fast bowler Doug Bollinger for breaching the ‘Code of Behaviour’ during a Twenty20 Big Bash League match on Saturday.

The Sydney Thunder left-arm bowler was reported by the umpires for breaching Article 2.1.4 – using language that is obscene, offensive or insulting during a match. The incident occurred during the Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder fixture.

Bollinger accepted the proposed penalty by match referee Peter Marshall, and hence a hearing was not required.
