West Indies opening batsman Brenton Parchment and South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn were both fined for angry clashes in the third and final Test which ended at Kingsmead on Saturday.
Parchment, making his Test debut, was found guilty of breaching the ICC code of conduct when he intentionally ran into Steyn and was fined 50 percent of his match fee.
The charge was laid by the four on-duty umpires, on-field officials Simon Taufel and Aleem Dar, third umpire Brian Jerling and reserve umpire Zed Ndamane on Friday.
Parchment was eventually lbw to Steyn for 20 in his second innings.
Steyn, who took six wickets in the second innings as his team wrapped up the series 2-1 thanks to an innings and 100-run win, was also lighter in the pocket after being docked 10 per cent of his match fee.
Steyn was found guilty of showing disrespect to West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels through his physical and verbal actions.

However, just to be absolutely clear, she is not retired from tennis. The 2014 Wimbledon finalist still practices on the tennis court, still competes at tennis events and still has a Women’s Tennis Association ranking (No. 1,288). The Canadian standout just has a new sport that has caught her attention. Bouchard is one of several familiar tennis names — like Jack Sock and Donald Young — crossing over to
Starting with three fights in the first nine seconds and ending with a celebration and a spot in the 4 Nations Face-Off final, the US on Saturday delivered exactly what Matthew Tkachuk hoped for by beating Canada. “We needed to send a message,” Tkachuk said. “The message we wanted to send is ‘It’s our time.’” Tkachuk fought Brandon Hagel off the opening faceoff, brother Brady tussled with Sam Bennett the next time the puck dropped, J.T. Miller dropped the gloves with Colton Parayko next and the Americans followed those fisticuffs with a 3-1 victory over their biggest rival. “That was one of the
Aaliyah Edwards on Monday pulled off the stunner of the opening round of the Unrivaled one-on-one tournament, beating top-seeded Breanna Stewart 12-0.
