Press Statement

At the conclusion of the First Test Match between Zimbabwe and
New Zealand, on Monday 22nd September 1997, a disciplinary
hearing was convened by match referee Mr Sidath Wettimuny.

Zimbabwe Captain, Alistair Campbell and the Zimbabwe Team were
accused of a breach of conduct under Code 2 of the ICC Code of
Conduct, for abusing an outgoing batswman, provoking
confrontation and bringing the game into disrepute. Alistair
Campbell was cautioned and warned as to future conduct. The
conduct of New Zealand player, Adam Parore, in the same
incident, was also considered. The referee's decision was to
dismiss all charges against him.

A further breach of the Code, involving Zimbabwe player Adam
Huckle, was also considered. This involved a violation of Code
4, for attempting to intimidate the Umpire by charging towards
him, in addition to breaches of Codes 2 and 5 - gesturing to the
pavilion after the batsman was given out. For these incidents,
the referee imposed a fine of 30% of Adam Huckle's match fee in
addition to a one match suspension which is suspended for a
period of 6 months, on condition that, during this period, the
player is not found guilty of any breaches of the ICC Code of
Conduct
