Black Caps pace bowler Tim Southee has been handed a rare reprimand by cricket officials after a run-in with an umpire during the side's T20 loss to Australia on Wednesday.
Southee, opening the bowling for the side in the first innings, managed to sneak a delivery through the defences of Australian captain Aaron Finch and a huge appeal for LBW quickly followed.
However, after the on-field umpire decided the ball was not going on to hit the stumps and gave a decision of not-out, Southee "shouted at the umpire in a disrespectful manner" according to a statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Black Caps captain Kane Williamson decided to review the not-out call, which Finch subsequently survived once again.
