I tend to watch the highlights !!!This is like watching paint dry. 117 runs in 2 sessions.
After retiring from the game, I umpired for several years in league cicket. If I reported a player a two game ban was automatic. However, for what I have seen on this occasion, I would not have reported him. If a bowler had celebrated like that when he dismissed me, I would have taken it as a complimentRabada banned for the final test for his celebration after dismissing Root, what a shame.
I think in isolation his actions were not worthy of a demerit, but he was 'on probation' with his previous actions, so for me it was both understandable that he got a ban, and extraordinarily stupid to behave in such a way and compromise his team.

If the umpires had thought it was so serious they should have got together and given him an official warning. Did this happend?Dunno about where you play but if anyone had club level around where I am had done that it'd probably start a massive row.
I have no sympathy for Rabada, let both his captain and team down. Will never learn.
