  "account": "Ashwell Prince, South Africa's batting coach, and Kyle Verreynne, wicketkeeper, have received reprimands from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for displaying dissent towards umpires during the third day of the third Test against Australia at Newlands. The incident occurred when Prince was seen shouting at the umpires, Richard Illingworth and Richard Kettleborough, after wicketkeeper Marques Ackerman attempted a review within the 15-second limit but was told the decision was too late. Verreynne, who was not playing that day but had 12th man duties, instructed Ackerman to stay on the field, which prolonged his departure. For their actions, the pair were found guilty of breaching Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which prohibits dissent during an umpire's decision in an international match. As a result, both Prince and Verreynne received one demerit point, a disciplinary measure that could lead to suspension if accumulated within a 24-month span. Despite the reprimands, South Africa emerged victorious, winning the match by 176 runs and claiming the series 2-1, thereby ascending to the top spot in the world Test rankings.",
