West Indies have been fined for slow over rate for the second consecutive game after being penalised in the drawn second Test against Australia in Antigua, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Wednesday.

West Indies captain Ramnaresh Sarwan was fined 10 percent of his match fee and other players five percent each for falling one over short in the stipulated period in the match which ended on Tuesday, an ICC release said.

The captains of both teams were fined half their match fees and the players 25 percent each for slow over rates in the first test in Kingston, Jamaica.

Australia lead 1-0 in the three-match series.
