“It did not really mean anything and it was more a bit of frustration,” Seales told the ICC website.

The 23-year-old was penalised 15 per cent of his match fee — the West Indies players are believed to earn about $US5000 a Test.

Seales pleaded guilty to breaching the code of conduct covering “language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter” when dismissed.

He was charged by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, plus the third and fourth umpires.

Seales, who took five wickets in Australia’s first innings, also was penalised one demerit point. He now has two points in a 24-month period.
