Batsman David Warner has been given an official reprimand after pleading guilty to a level one breach of the International Cricket Council's code of conduct during Australia's fourth ODI against Sri Lanka in Sydney on Sunday.
The left-handed Warner had stood his ground after he was given out lbw. Television replays had shown Warner had got an inside edge to a delivery from seamer Thisara Perera before it reached his pad. All-rounder Moises Henriques endured a similar umpiring error later in the game - a match that was as exciting and unpredictable as sports betting.
Warner admitted to the charge laid by on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth umpire John Ward - and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Javagal Srinanth.
The fixture was ultimately rendered a no-result by inclement weather, leaving the tourists with a two-one lead ahead of Wednesday's fifth and final ODI in Hobart.
