SOUNDBITE: Paul Farbrace, England's assistant coach (ON the Hales/Azhar Ali incident and Hales' fine for showing dissent to TV umpire).

"I mean the stuff that goes on on the field. There are always exchanges on the field. If they cross the line and ICC decide that they have to take action against the player for doing so then it's very hard to support that player in that situation. You know, you want to see the game played fairly, you want to see tough exchanges on the field. That's what makes test cricket the great pinnacle that it is. But players know that they cannot cross the line and there are so many cameras on the ground that you don't get away with anything. But as for marching into the match referee's office. It was the wrong thing to do and as far as we are concerned it's the end of the matter. He's been fined and rightfully so."
