AB punishment was too severe

I agree that the penalties on AB and the team are ridiculous as it is a double penalty - yes maybe the over rate was slow but I feel that the penalty should be one or the other not both and also feel that all penalties should be equal. I often find that South Africans are penalized more severely than most other countries.  Also what the committee must realise, is that both teams contribute to a slow over rate, yes the fielding team is probably  the greater offender but the batting team definitely add to the slow over rate.

I don't understand why we don't defend our players/teams during the hearing in these matters.
