Brad Hogg, the Australian chinaman bowler, has been charged under Level 3 of the ICC Code of Conduct following a complaint by Indian team manager Chetan Chauhan. Hogg was accused of making an offensive comment to Anil Kumble and Mahendra Singh Dhoni during the second Test in Sydney and hearing is scheduled to take place on January 14, days before the 3rd test at Perth. If found guilty, Hogg could be banned for two to four Tests or for eight one-day internationals.
Paragraph 3.3 of the Code of Conduct refers to players or team officials "using language or gestures that offends, insults, humiliates, intimidates, threatens, disparages or vilifies another person on the basis of that person's race, religion, gender, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin".
