ICC Media Release - 14 July 2010
 
Chris Broad from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees has spoken to Pakistans 18-year-old fast bowler Mohammad Aamer in relation to his conduct following the dismissal of Australia captain Ricky Ponting on day one of the first Test between the two sides at Lords. 
In the 17th over of the match, Ponting was out, caught at short-leg, to a delivery from Aamer. While celebrating the wicket, Aamer crossed paths with the batsman and contact was made. 
While the umpires did not feel it warranted any formal action under the ICC Code of Conduct, it was noted that this was the second time in two matches that Aamer had made physical contact with a batsman after taking his wicket and the on-field umpires spoke to the Pakistan captain at the time of the incident. 
In addition, the umpires thought it appropriate for Mr Broad to speak to the bowler at the conclusion of the days play, in the company of Pakistan team coach Waqar Younis. 
Aamer is a young, exciting, talented player full of enthusiasm for this great sport and that is to be celebrated and nurtured, said Mr Broad. 
But there are a few things he still has to learn in relation to how to conduct himself on the field of play. I told him that when he takes a wicket, he should celebrate with his team-mates rather than getting himself into the personal space of the outgoing batsman. Its a spirit of cricket issue. 
It has happened twice now so we as a playing control team thought it would be sensible for me to have a word with him. He accepted it graciously and undertook to avoid a repeat occurrence. As far as we are concerned the issue is now closed, said Mr Broad.(Article: The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author only.
