Lee facing hearing
Afp, Adelaide
Australian paceman Brett Lee was to appear before a disciplinary hearing later Sunday charged with excessive appealing during the second Ashes Test against England at Adelaide Oval.Lee was charged with a level one offence by match referee Jeff Crowe for running down the wicket and celebrating what he thought was the wicket of England's Kevin Pietersen early on day two. Umpire Steve Bucknor rejected the Australian appeal. Lee faces being fined his match fee of 12,500 dollars (9,250 USD) if found guilty. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to announce the hearing's outcome at its Dubai headquarters later Sunday. Lee's report is the latest to have blighted Australia's on-field disciplinary record over the past 18 months.
