DERBYSHIRE bowlers Tony Palladino and Mark Footitt have both been handed reprimands by the England and Wales Cricket Board's cricket discipline commission.
Palladino and Northamptonshire's Andrew Hall were both was reported by umpires Peter Willey and Steve O'Shaughnessy for level one breaches of the code (using language that is obscene, offensive or insulting and/or making an obscene gesture) in the Falcons' Royal London One-Day Cup match against Northants on Monday.
Footitt was reported by umpires Mark Benson and Peter Hartley following the Royal London One-Day Cup match against Yorkshire at Scarborough on Wednesday for a level one breach of the code (bowling a fast short pitched ball and/or accidental high full pitched ball that results in the bowler being disallowed from bowling any further in that innings).
Though the penalties do not mean they will have to miss matches, they will remain on their records for two years and the accumulation of nine or more penalty points in any two-year period will result in an automatic suspension.
