Michael Clarke, the Australia captain, is expected to be charged by the ICC and fined 20% of his match fee for his sledge against James Anderson during the dying stages of Australia's win in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.
Clarke is believed to have been cited for a level one Code of Conduct offence over the exchange in which he said Anderson, who was batting at the time, should "get ready for a broken f***ing arm". The stump microphone picked up Clarke's words.
It is expected that Clarke will be charged under section 2.1.4 of the ICC's Code of Conduct, which relates to the use of "language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match".
