New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori and paceman Kyle Mills along with South Africa's Faf du Plessis were Saturday slapped with heavy fines for their ugly bust-up during the World Cup quarter-finals, reports AFP. The fines followed a stormy clash at the end of the 28th over of the South Africa innings Friday when du Plessis and the Kiwis exchanged angry words following the fall of AB de Villiers. Mills, who was not part of the playing eleven, was on the field at the time, carrying drinks for his team-mates. "Mills has been fined 60 per cent of his match fee for an offence relating to inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players," said the International Cricket Council (ICC).
