Cricket-Ganguly attends hearing over India's slow bowling

NEW DELHI, April 10 - India captain Saurav
Ganguly has been fined his entire match fee for the team's slow
over rate in Saturday's third one-day international against
Pakistan.

"We have learnt he has been fined his full match fee. We
have to wait for a formal announcement from the ICC," an Indian
cricket official told Reuters on Sunday.

Ganguly was summoned for a hearing by International Cricket
Council (ICC) match referee Chris Broad after his bowlers took
almost 30 minutes more than the allotted three-and-half hours
to complete their 50 overs.

Pakistan compiled 319 for nine in their innings, before
going on to claim a 106-run victory that reduced India's lead
in the six-match series to 2-1.

Last November, Ganguly was handed a two-test ban for his
team's slow over rate during a one-day defeat to Pakistan in
Calcutta, but successfully appealed to the ICC.
