Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer [ Images ] has been reported under the International Cricket Council's [ Images ] code of conduct for criticising the umpires in a tri-nation series in Australia [ Images ].
Woolmer, whose side lost a best-of-three final 2-0 to Australia earlier this month in an event also involving West Indies [ Images ], said the umpires has been influenced by the world champions' excessive appealing and by the crowds.
ICC [ Images ] chief executive Malcolm Speed [ Images ] reported Woolmer under level 2.4 of the code dealing with "public criticism of, or inappropriate comment on a match-related incident or match official".
Level 2 breaches carry a minimum penalty of between 50 and 100 per cent of the player or official's match fee and/or a ban for one Test match or two one-day internationals. Where officials are not paid a match fee, the 'match fee' is considered to be the same as that of the players.
