Normally I don’t mind appeals by players, but today Patel went overboard and I think because of his excessive appeals he was probably responsible for Yoyo not being given out when he had actually nicked a catch to Patel.

LAHORE, Pakistan (AFP) - India’s young wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel was summoned before match referee Ranjan Madugalle for excessive appealing during the second Test against Pakistan here.

Team sources told AFP Patel had been reported by umpires Steve Bucknor of the West Indies and Simon Taufel of Australia after the ill-tempered second day’s play at the Gaddafi stadium on Tuesday.

Madugalle’s verdict after hearing Patel, Shetty and coach John Wright is expected to be announced on Wednesday, the sources said.

The Indians appeared disappointed when numerous appeals were turned down by Bucknor and Taufel against the Pakistan batsmen, who ended the day at 355-3 in reply to India’s modest 287.

The 19-year-old Patel is playing his 15th Test match.

I think Indian appealing has been over the top since the beginning of the series. Not that i would care normally but I recall one of our bowlers got a ticking off from the umpire for a perfectly legit appeal.

For the record I thought Yoyo was out lbw once today. The caught behind appeal was inconclusive.

Geo TV reports he has been fined 60% of his match fee.
